“Tiger has always been driven and disciplined; the first-guy-up-last-guy-home type. People like that tend to be highly cautious about anything that might threaten their success at work. They keep a clean nose and don’t take unnecessary risks. I see a conflict in him that (maybe) also led him to hang out with the sort of celebrity “friends” who attract trouble like peanut butter draws mice - right into a trap.”
But didn’t Tiger sell pictures/access of his wedding to the media for mucho dinero? Celebs have to realize that there might be follow up stories, especially if they make what passes for news today. And that the media are ANIMALS. It’s like getting in a bear cage and being outraged that the bear mauls you, or chumming the water, going skinny dipping, and then being scandalized that a shark attacks.

Nonetheless and given Tiger's upbringing and early success, it is out of character for him. The lure of celebrity is powerful; with it comes a form of universal adoration which is not the same as love: the latter completes the soul while the former has been known to empty it.
