His personal life doesn't matter and there is no-one big enough to replace him...

there are plenty of people to replace him, and yes his personal life matters. He is a celebrity. He is presented as a role model for young children. Which is rather horrible.

He didn't ask for that though. He can't live his life based on what other people THINK he should do. Nobody is justifying his actions, but many humans walk this Earth able to escape from things they did that were far worse than adultery. Why shouldn't Tiger be able to continue to live and make money?

yes he did.  He asked for it when he signed 900 million dollars in sponsorship deals, 9 times more money then he made by actually playing golf.  The sponsorships are buying him for his image, not for what he does in golf (although i know the 2 have a lot to do with each other).  If even a tiny percentage of people stop buying something because of tiger woods image being tarnished then it is costing the company money, people may start losing their jobs.  If he wanted to be recognized as a golfer, he should just play golf and not sign 900 million dollars in sponsorship deals.  The PGA tour is never gonna drop tiger even if his image becomes tarnished, but sponsors will, and they have every right to.
