Unfortunately in the future his name will first be remembered by this scandal and then secondly by the fact that he was the greatest golfer to play the game. I can't feel bad for him though. When you're as famous as him you know people are waiting for an excuse. Also can't feel too bad for a woman that renegotiates her prenuptial agreement. I never thought I would hear that term. Cha-ching!

The first report I heard had him wrecking his car, before I knew it, he had more Ho's than Santa. While I certainly don't condone his behavior, I have to ask why the media seems to think it's their mission to distroy people at every opportunity.

I have to ask why people always blame the media. What Tiger has done is reprehensible. Not sure how it's the media's fault when the most recognized public figure in the world has affairs with over a dozen women and expects no one will find out??

He put himself in this position, his golfing skills still put him at the top, but his moral and ethical skill need a lot of improvement. When your in his position ( notoriety) you need to live life at a certain level, he did not, and now he is paying the price. He had a lot to lose, and is now losing it. Funny Ad though. Thanks Wayne

Gerry - didn't want to suggest it's the media's fault. I wasn't suggesting it's just Tiger either. Obviously, the general public has an appetite for the miseries of others & taking down successful people or the media wouldn't have a place to pedal their stories. It's just sad. How many of his "women" were ill-informed as to his marital status? Why no stories about their morals? Simple, they're not as successful as Tiger. Don't get me wrong, I agree, what he did IS reprehensible, I just don't understand how it really impacts the vast majority.

Since the media has been mentioned, the first thing that came to my mind is remember when Bill Clinton had the affair and the media kept saying its his own business? Funny how the media has now changed their position on Tiger Woods.

What affair? "I did not have sexual relations with the women"

Keeping it on theme: I did not cut that board too short, it wasn't me. I don't care if there's saw dust on my table saw. What tape? That is not my pencil!

Honestly, who really cares what Tigger did or does in his spare time? He is still the greatest golfer in the history of the sport and it is our loss that he chose to walk away from the game. Oh how the mighty have fallen.
In Canada when ever one of our celeberties gets caught in an indiscretion the general public reaction is "so what?"

I just think the whole Tiger Woods thing is a good example of human nature. And no, I'm not talking about just the urge to have sex. I'm talking about how, no matter how much success and money a person accumulates, we always seem to want more of something.

In Tiger's case, you have a man who has reached the pinnacle of success in his profession, has money coming in beyond anyone's wildest dreams, and an incredibly beautiful woman by his side. But once you've got everything you've ever dreamed of, I guess you're left standing there like Peggy Lee singing "Is That All There Is?"

Happiness isn't about getting what you want…. it's about wanting what you have. If you're counting on some external goal or achievement to give you long-lasting satisfaction, you'll never have it. You'll always be looking for the thing that you think is going to get you there.

This just my opinion, who cares what he does. unless it includes my family and friends. The women knew what was going on and that he was married. he was a big name and lots of money. he still is one of the best golfers around and nothing can change that. this kind of thing happens all the time but they usuallly are not in the spot light to make the news. Am i saying what he did is ok, NO…........ he was wrong. the media is too nosie, they should spend more time on important things and let people live their lives right or wrong.
Sorry just my opinion
