Tiger Woods: How I’ve Redefined Victory

Last November, everything I thought I knew about myself changed abruptly, and what others perceived about me shifted, too. I had been conducting my personal life in an artificial way—as if detached from the values my upbringing had taught, and that I should have embraced.

The physical pain from that car accident has long healed. But the pain in my soul is more complex and unsettling; it has been far more difficult to ease—and to understand. But this much is obvious now: my life was out of balance, and my priorities were out of order. I made terrible choices and repeated mistakes. I hurt the people whom I loved the most. And even beyond accepting the consequences and responsibility, there is the ongoing struggle to learn from my failings.

Give me a break. It was not a “car accident”, your wife clobbered you with an iron.

The “pain in your soul”??? What’s that a euphemism for? His burning passion for pornographic film stars?

Look, just build your 50 million dollar house and live your life. No one cares.
