#2 Ohfergodsake - leavethepoorbuggeralone. There really is no worse trouble than the kind he's gotten himself into at the moment.

#3 Tiger should know the rules of golf:

1. Never ground your club in a hazard
2. Never play out of turn
3. You cannot improve your lie
4. Penalty for playing the wrong ball
5. Penalty for hitting out of bounds
6. Cannot practice putting on a hole not yet played
7. DQ for playing the wrong hole

#4 Tiger gotta try to patch this one up or it's gonna cost him a helluva lotta money. Makes it difficult to discern his purpose for reconciliation. Must be a tough spot for his wife to be in with that potentially making it more difficult to judge his sincerity.

#6 The man never tried to tell me how I should live my life, so I don't figure this is any of my business.

#7 Agreed G, The guy has a life and its his to live. Its none of my business. Those that get pleasure from a public shredding of a family are the same gawkers that race to crash scenes, not to help, but to see others misfortunes.

#8 A law blog I looked at recently (can't remember which one so no link, sorry) noted that Tiger had to remain quiet: if he had told the cops what had happened Florida law would have required the cops to arrest his cop. Apparently the no-excuse law in domestic assault situations requires the cops to arrest the person responsible for the violence even if the spouse doesn't want them to.

So that's why Tiger's statement to the cops and media until today was 'no comment'.

I agree with Glenmore; I'm sorry to see the situation and wouldn't dream of trying to tell the man (or his wife) how to manage their affairs.

#9 Hope Tiger has another SUV to crash. I don't think a Kobe Bryant size diamond is gonna get him out of this.

Too bad. He once seemed like one of the few celebs who publicly had his head together.

#11 "how to manage their affairs"

Very funny, Dr. White.
We have our own Dr. White down here. Dr. Michael White. Nominally a dentist, but now an outstanding jazz clarinetist.

We also have a Senator who spent a lot of words telling people how to run their personal lives - until his name turned up in some madam's little black book. People like that I WILL condemn for their personal behavior.

#12 I do have to give Tiger a little credit--if those facial injuries were actually caused by Elin and not the accident, then it would seem he took his well-deserved beating in stride without raising a hand against his wife.
