I hope he finds comfort in his Buddhist faith.

I enjoy reading The Teaching of Buddha and The Way to Freedom.

I’m Christian but I enjoy the Buddhist teachings— there are some good lessons to be found.

I think that this headline badly needs to rephrased.

[Poe White Trash]

I hope Woods grows up and finds Jesus.

[Sarah-bot]

I don’t have a problem with Buddhists; I have a problem with Communists.

[Venturer]

I hope his rehab works , but I expect the first good looking whore that rubs against him will feel his wood.

If Tiger ever visits the White House again he just ensured that he’ll be using the garbage door.

Useless POS.

Enough of Tiger Woods. The world should be concentrating on our “RULES OF ENGAGEMENT” in Afganistan...

[Phantom4]

I respect parts of Buddhism, too; and I do not doubt that it is possible for Tiger to “feel” redeemed by his Buddhism. But the real question in pursuing a philosophy of redemption is not whether it makes you feel the way you want to feel, but whether it is based on TRUE TRUTH, and not just a warm fuzzy assurance that “I feel better now,” or, “I am once again at one with the universe,” or some such subjective assurance. No matter how much Buddha and his mother admire Buddhist teachings (many of which may be simliar to Christianity, or even pre-date it), Buddha is still in his grave, while Christ rose from the dead in real time-space history, vindicating his claims to be the exclusive Way, the exclusive Truth, and the exclusive Life—competitors excluded. Buddha himself humbly told those who would follow him to forget him and focus merely on his teachings. That is, remove Buddha himself from his teachings, and you still have a nice, quietistic method for coping with our own anxiety; but you do not have true truth, as in a history book. But in this regard there was nothing “humble” about Jesus. He not only forgave sins against Him, but claimed to forgive the sins of one person against another! And he backed it up by the great Miracle on which all of history pivots, second only to the Creation itself.
Remove Christ from Christianity, and you have nothing, because Christ placed himself at the middle of his teaching in such a way that he had to be a madman if He really is not the God Incarnate He claims to be. It’s too bad that Brit Hume did not put it to his viewers this way on TV when he said what he did. The real question for all of Brit’s viewers is: The question is not which philosopy, religion, or “approach to self-fulfillment” is BEST. The questions is: “Which one is TRUE?”

I gave up my former agnosticism when I found that I prefer True Truth—notwithstanding all its sharp edges and unanswered questions—over merely religious truth. To those whose names are not written in our sovereign God’s Book of Life, such talk as this will always sound like arrogant folly. To the rest, it is the Water of Life.

Where he to truly step away from "attachment" it would be a good start

The Noble Eightfold Path
the fourth of the Buddha's Noble Truths—is the way to the cessation of suffering (dukkha). It has eight sections, each starting with the word "samyak" (Sanskrit, meaning "correctly", "properly", or "well", frequently translated into English as "right"), and presented in three groups known as the three higher trainings. (NB: Pāli transliterations appear in brackets after Sanskrit ones):

Prajñā is the wisdom that purifies the mind, allowing it to attain spiritual insight into the true nature of all things. It includes:
-- dṛṣṭi (ditthi): viewing reality as it is, not just as it appears to be.
-- saṃkalpa (sankappa): intention of renunciation, freedom and harmlessness.

Śīla is the ethics or morality, or abstention from unwholesome deeds. It includes:
-- vāc (vāca): speaking in a truthful and non-hurtful way
-- karman (kammanta): acting in a non-harmful way
-- ājīvana (ājīva): a non-harmful livelihood

Samādhi is the mental discipline required to develop mastery over one’s own mind. This is done through the practice of various contemplative and meditative practices, and includes:
-- vyāyāma (vāyāma): making an effort to improve
-- smṛti (sati): awareness to see things for what they are with clear consciousness, being aware of the present reality within oneself, without any craving or aversion
-- samādhi (samādhi): correct meditation or concentration, explained as the first four jhānas

“Believe in me again”.....YUK! Who says that crap???

[scoobysnak71]

Ya know, all I can say to Tiger is it’s a good thing your father had passed on. He would have been SO disappointed in you as a son and a man. A real man doesn’t risk his family and livelihood just to fool around with a handful of floozies.

And, stop treating it as if its a medical condition. Each time to made an informed decision and decided to throw out your vows to God. While you might obtain forgiveness, you certainly deserve NO respect ever again.

[Larry Lucido]

I hear chicks dig Buddhists.

[Jack Hydrazine]

Does Buddhism require you to be faithful to your spouse? I don’t think so.

[ClearBlueSky]

I like TIger as a golfer- I still do. As a man, I think he is an alley cat with no idea of what marriage means.
Tiger’s main problem is STUPIDITY.
You’re the #1 golfer on the planet and you think you can cat around and NO one will talk or find out? This is the age of the internet, camera phones, instant communication- and he really believed he could get away with a string of bimbos?
He has enough money to buy anything but he couldn’t have a staff competent enough to protect him and cover his tracks?
He RISKED LOSING his children( maybe he no longer cares for the wife, but two babies??) for sex?
He risked millions in endorsements- for sex?
He got married and thought he could have the image and the wild life too?
Stupidity on so many levels its pathetic.
He’s a brilliant golfer- maybe its a savant thing- but a STUPID man with no morals and no control over anything but a golf club.
That he screwed around on his wife didn’t surprise me. Hell, regular guys do it every day- and their wives put up with it for far less reason than Elin has. That he has the cognitive reasoning capabilities of a turnip did surprise me.
Tiger isn’t unique in his immorality- but he may be unique- as a celebrity- for his combination of arrogance and sheer,mind-numbing stupidity.

[Caipirabob]

He confessed: "I was unfaithful. I had affairs. I cheated."

LOTS of affairs! LOTS and LOTS and LOTS of affairs!

And FLOOZIES out the WAZOO!

Yup, it's his private business but let's not act for a second like we'd accept this sort of thing in our own lives.

Buddah? Shah...yeah...wuddevah. You must seek a balance: Equal blondes and brunettes he's got covered.

Anyway, he didn't have to do this but it's still not worth much. Maybe to his sponsors.
