Are you surprised?
He wants to be able to come back to playing golf....and the pro golf community wants him back....because his presence on the golf course brings in viewers.
That being said....I don't think the pro golf community wants each golf tournament to be about Tiger's sex life, marriage, divorce or babies with prostitutes.
For the most part...with the exception of John Daly and a few incidents when Greg Norman has made news (Clinton falling at his home, divorce and marriage to Chris Everett and their divorce)....golfers don't make the gossip/scandal news. They play golf, practice golf, get married, play golf, practice golf, have children, play golf, practice golf.
Tiger's got himself in a mess and now he's doing damage repair. Or rather trying to.
This press conference...while it may be part of his treatment process ( ) ....isn't going to do anything except make the press/scandal rags salivate even more.
But just how many male golfers sitting at home watching these tournaments....are just all that interested in Tiger's sex life?
The guys that I know....including my other half....want to see well played golf and hear well done commentating . Not hear all the latest news on Tiger's sex life.
Well said. Players on the pro tour want him back because of all the sponsors/money he brings to the game. I have never liked Tiger because I think he lacks class. Cursing and throwing clubs is bs and the chickenshits at the PGA should fine him when he does so.
The press are scumbags in that they would rather write about someones failings rather than something positive. If him and his wife can work things out, more power to him. That would be the best outcome for his family. He should can his partying days. I was a club golf pro for 10 years and the opportunities/temptations are too great.
