Tiger Woods life has changed dramatically ever since that fateful night at the neighbor's tree. He's stepped aside from the PGA Tour (for the moment) and his sponsors have all either dropped him or rearranged his "duties." We probably won't hear directly from Tiger again for some time. His own personal domestic issues have ruined his career and killed his reputation. Why did David Letterman get a pass? I would argue that Mr. Letterman's actions were a lot worse considering the circumstances. He abused his position of power over young, ambitious females to gain control over them in a sexual...

A porn flick of Tiger Wood’s X-rated escapades will be released in January, heaping yet more embarrassment on the golf superstar. An adult film company made the tongue-in-cheek film – called Tiger’s Wood – with roles for jilted wife Elin Nordegren, celebrity lawyer Gloria Allred and alleged mistresses Rachel Uchitel and Jaimee Grubbs. Self-proclaimed “A-list porn star” Tyler Knight plays Tiger .............

There's more money and less intellectual effort in judging, vilifying and diminishing Tiger Woods than in providing the public a lens to understand him and a sports world/culture that long ago was perverted by television's money and fame. It takes no courage or thought to recognize Tiger's personal failure. He, as far as we know, shamed his wife and family. We can assume Tiger's Swedish wife adopted our American marriage value of strict monogamy, and she is mortified and shocked that her ridiculously famous, handsome, billionaire husband gave in to the temptation of road beef.

A weeping blonde model claimed yesterday that she ended her affair with Tiger Woods after she woke up in the middle of the night to find him texting other mistresses. Cori Rist, 31, who has a seven-year-old son, said she initially believed the billionaire golfer when he told her his marriage was on the rocks. And she thought she was the only 'other woman' in his life - until she caught him secretly sending texts while he was in bed with her. 'I would wake up sometimes in the night in hotels with him and hear him text messaging,' she...

Tiger Woods's multiple infidelities have been dismissed as a "minor blip" by the chairman of Nike, the golfer's biggest commercial sponsor. Phil Knight, the co-founder of the sports footwear and clothing giant, said the scandal surrounding Woods's private life was "part of the game" in endorsement deals. But he acknowledged that his company's checks on the sports star's suitability had failed to uncover evidence of serial philandering.

I don't know Tiger Woods. And as a rule I avoid public comment on the private travails of others, even when their fame or notoriety inevitably makes them the subject of public attention and comment. For a long time, though, I have pondered the significance of the publican's prayer, the simple prayer Jesus recommends by contrast with the self-righteous conceit of the scrupulous Pharisee (Luke 18:9-14). As we come to know the dark passage of such an admired and popular public figure, the thoughts it inspires seem particularly timely and appropriate. The Pharisee thanks God "that I am not as...
