I have to say, I am sitting behind a computer screen, and not out in the public gaze. What has he done ? Nothing more than many a rich and/or famous person. There were a couple of Presidents that did similar, were found out, and just got on with life. JFK is still viewed as one of the best ever Presidents, and Bill is making a fortune on the world speaking tour possibly because of his . . . So why does Tiger have to apologise to the general public ? I accept he has hurt his wife . . . does giving up his job and skill, help that apology, how long does that take. The best rehabiliation Tiger could do would be to start hitting golf balls and get back on the Tour as soon as possible. Show that his concentration is as good as it has ever been. And his chicken hearted sponsors need to get some ....s. Instead of showing how thin their support really is. My advice to Tiger is, next time, don't allow an escape clause, and see if they stick around. They Will - $ . Good on Nike, for continuing their sponsorship of Tiger. In the circumstances, that took some guts and should be viewed positively. Tiger, get out of the therapy sessions, there is nothing wrong with you other than being male, and get back on the practice range and back to your main ambition, to collect some more Major Trophys. *** 365 COURSES in 365 DAYS All in One Year !!! http://www.puregolf2010.com/ These two guys are now through their 62nd day, and are now in Australia, moving down the NSW coast.
