Personally, I am disappointed and saddened by this unfortunate news that affects Tiger’s career and family. I wish he could have had better judgment and will do better in the future. Remember, as his success rose, he became “owned” by sponsors, with an image soon larger than most lives lived by humans. The image however, is not attainable but becomes impossible without a basis of spiritual discipline and maturity. My view: he is a good person (like most of us) who erred (like most of us). I hope Elin will give their marriage another try, in spite of Tiger’s bad judgment and “transgressions.” We’ve all asked for or needed forgiveness for something we’ve done it life.

Agreed! The only thing I’ve learned: Tiger Woods is human ;P

Lance, as usual, you’ve gotten it totally right. Tiger lives in another world. Period. That he’s been revealed as untrustworthy, while disappointing, isn’t terribly surprising and doesn’t impact the rest of us at all. Let’s move on to more important things like the economy, creation of jobs, the war — and oh yeah, and whether HR is dead. (she wrote, with her tongue firmly planted in her cheek….)

Didn’t Tiger learn anything from the Wire? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PojAnXG9wwU (Language NSFW)

I’ve spent a total of 5 minutes on the Tiger drama. When I first heard about it, I spent 5 minutes trying to understand if he was OK and how serious it was. Once that mission was complete I moved on with my life.

There is nothing to gain from this story that I, or anyone else shouldn’t already know. Good post, Lance!

If you truly believe that privacy exists in the Internet age, you’re, well, ignorant. Sorry, there’s just no other way to say it. And while I’m at it, the phrase “Internet privacy” is an oxymoron.

That’s the cold, hard lesson Tiger’s learning at the moment.

As more of this story is leaked/released/reported/overplayed, the only thing I can think of as a “lesson” is that we have to stop putting our athletes, politicians and movie stars on pedestals believing they are perfect. They are human. And apparently are perfectly capable of screwing up their lives royally, just like the rest of us.

And to Ms. Thompson – whoa nelly. Trying to think of another athlete who was at some point considered the “best athlete in the world” and then #failedspectacularly in their personal life? Jordan would have been one of the first to come to mind because he’s JORDAN. No need to read any further into that. You are right, infidelity doesn’t know race or gender, for that matter. The point of that last line was “top of the game” not “cheater” though.

That’s what you got out of the post? Really?

Well done Lance. I didn’t get a slant this post at all except “enough already” which believe me, living in Orlando, I share wholeheartedly.
