Okay, so I'm a day late with replying to this but unlike the rest of the free world the Tiger Wood's apology wasn't the most important thing on my agenda.
However, since I did post a previous blog about this story I felt it deserved a follow up - sans humor.
I'm probably going to be the only person to go on record to say this, but I actually felt sorry for Tiger. Not because he was making a public apology but because the few months of self imposed exile haven't been kind to him. He's a balder, fatter, broken version of his former self. In a few months, he managed to age 10 years.
I lied, I said this would be without humor. I can't help but to giggle when I hear people say "poor Elin". Poor Elin?? Poor Elin is about to get $300Million dollars because her husband decided to live his own version of Stepford Wives.
Then there are the other women in this saga that say they didn't know he was married? Um, okay. Let's go back to the 'most famous athlete in the world' plug. Come on man. It's sad how we managed to paint Tiger as the bad guy in all of this and he's really not. The other women, they knew the deal. His wife had a clause in their vows which paid her in the event this happened. It's business and everything happened the way it was supposed to.
As with all things Tiger, this will in some way spark interest into the formerly boring sport of golf.
