Oh don't get me wrong. He's great at what he does (even though golf is more of an insomnia cure for me) and nobody would be crazy enough to stop him from playing.

lol, I feckin' hate Golf too but I don't see why him cheating on his wife would have any bearing on his career as a golfer, I mean if you're neighbour cheats on his wife his boss isn't going to fire him, is he?? (unless he works for his wife lol!!)

your example is invalid

Tigers "career" is not just the game of golf as he is pro tour golfer and his image and character are integral to his success package. The game of golf has incredibly high standards in terms of "playing the game" - there is a lot of honour involved etc

To be caught cheating a tiny bit (ie fractionally touching the sand with your club in a bunker and not mentioning it) can utterly ruin a career full stop, and has.

Now Tiger has not cheated in golf but he has done the bext worse thing and that is your family (in golf terms).

he will never recover. dont forget tiger is a grumpy unhappy player but people forgave him because he was untouchable. this has now ended and he will have to now deal with the wrath.


its over for Tiger.

My argument is not invalid just because you say so cheeky!!

So you think the No.1 ranked golfer in the world, no longer has a career playing Golf because of his personal life? I think not.

I presumed that this is what you meant when you made this post - that his career was over?

well, no doubt, it'll turn people off for a while so I suppose it will affect his advertising deals alright but I'm sure if he lies low for a while and continues to play good golf it will blow over.

I don't think he really needs the money anyhow!!
