I think Tiger is screwed.

There aren't that many certainties in life, but here are two. Hot women get away with more than ugly ones and guys with "I'd like to have a beer with that guy" personalities get away with more than assholes. Tiger is an asshole. He has gotten away with it up until now because he's a great golfer and the media has bent over backwards to cover for him. He throws tantrums like a 3-year old on the golf course and the mental midgets at ESPN say it's "Tiger being Tiger". You can bet that the media will be a whole lot less forgiving now, and that means Tiger is screwed. Think about it. This guy makes 90% of his money from endorsement contracts, but he's always been too arrogant to even stay 20 minutes after a tournament to do a simple interview. And while other PGA pros like Phil Mickelson walk along the ropes and sign autographs, Tiger walks down the middle of the fairway and looks down his nose at the fans who pay is $100 million+ salary.

How many times in the '90s did you hear someone say "I don't agree with Bill Clinton but I think he'd be a cool guy to have a beer with"? It helped Clinton get through the Monica thing. There is something to be said for being seen as a decent guy...even if you're not...and Tiger is no Bill Clinton. The guy is a great golfer, his dad groomed him for that. But he's not much of a man, and I think men and women will agree with that, even if for different reasons. Maybe dad should have spent a little more time teaching his son lessons about humility and honesty, and less about pursuing the next conquest. But what do I know?
