He plays golf. He's a good golf player. He should be judged by what he does on the golf course, not what he does on his private time. I hate the media and press and people in general for looking down on celebrities like this. He is a human being that enjoyed/enjoyes to play golf, therefor he became a golf player. but most important, he is a human being like us all. if we want him to pay taxes and live by the same laws as us "normal" he is also allowed to do the same mistakes as us with no further consequences! GO TIGER WOODS, fuck the people that stick their noses up in your private life. but of course, sponsors should be allowed to cancel their deals if they feel that TW does not represent the same values (or whatever) that he used to. But i have 10000000000 times more respect for EA for sticking with him than the ones that just drop him... the sponsors then show their real faces, they give a shit about the sport they are indirectly sponsoring...

i agree 100%, but this is a very very naive view of a perfect world.  EA did not make the decision because they give a shit about the sport they were sponsoring, they are in it for the money like everyone else.  They sat down and decided that it was more beneficial for themselves to keep tiger, not because they hold some kind of ideals. 

The media should not poke into other people's business, i agree 100%.  Far too many people do, and there are far too many religious nuts and crazy people out there who will never look at the man the same again.  It's sad that this is the kind of world we live in, but like i have said it is a reality and businesses have to make decisions based on money not ideals.
