    I didn't see the public apology, but I feel it wasn't necessary.  He did it to save face and try to reclaim his image.  IMO, the only person he needed to provide an explanation to was his wife.  Breath wasted.

    i'm with you on that. And is it just me, or did he have serious robot-face while he was doing it? I only saw clips after the fact, but what I saw looked like he was just blankly reading his script. If his wife wants to stay, sure, but what was the point of that thing today?

    I thought it was a waste of breath, too.  If you look at it from a PR point of view, it was done so that he could still have fans when reentering golf eventually.

    But I think we have all seen that apparently, no apology is really needed to reenter professional sports. Michael Vick may have "apologized" but I don't think it would have mattered since people just keep on paying him to play. 

    The same way they will keep on paying Tiger when he gets back.

    I don't think he needed to appologize to anyone in a public forum. I am sure his handlers thought it would be a good idea, but I personally never understood why people interlink private lives and professional lives. He may be a crappy husband and father, but that doesn't mean you can't lovehim as a golfer. IMO.

    I agree with Lucysloved. He can be a terrible person, but you can still admire his talent as a golfer. Personally, I don't really care. Doesn't effect my life either way.

    I wonder if Prince William and Kate are registered at Target?

    Tiger has to tidy up his image to get his multi million dollar sponsors back on track. And Elin is going to get a HUGE chunk of change if he doesn't work things out with her. I think these things were the ONLY reasons that he checked into a sex clinic and made the apology.

    I have heard that his father was quite a ladies man, and Tiger's mom just put up with it. So Tiger may have had a bad childhood that preconditioned him to do this.
