The man screwed up. It happens to the best of us. And honestly, the only way he will clean up his image is to start playing golf again and stay out of trouble. It will take a while, but this is the only way.
"I'm sorry," he says in public. In private this equates to, 'Now can we get back to signing some more lucrative sponsorship deals now that an apology has been made.'
If he pays back the money he received for endorsements based on his squeaky clean, family man image, then I might start to believe he is sorry.
Here's a pre-Tiger tidbit: CBS anchor Katie Couric posted on her Twitter account this morning:
"Getting ready to cover tiger's statement. Being at the epicenter of such humiliation, and judgement must be very painful."
ABC reporter Jake Tapper, a much more frequent Tweeter, wrote back:
"@katiecouric i assume you're talking about the pain his wife and children feel, not him."
Surely you are being sarcastic. No, nothing this extremely sleazy happens to the best of us. Tiger Woods is a sociopath. He conned his wife and mistresses, including alleged group sex and a porn actress, and had some of these women in his home when Elin was away. He practiced unsafe sex with no regard to his family and mocked his wife.
Maybe he used steroids, as the LA Times implied.
