I feel bad for him also. I mean a LOT of pro athletes cheat on their wives on the road and it never explodes like this. Though given his wife was hotter than anything else he tagged I don't blame him for wanting to do a porn star, but he should not have cheated on his wife.

The DUI thing I feel will get sorted out. Though one or two drinks with some meds can be like being drunk and it's not legal excuse if you're not driving right.

Plus, as the first golf superstar of color he faced more challenges than let's say Phil Mickelson or Bubba Watson. And if you consider he was the first Todd Marinovich it's a miracle that he ended up with such a great career.

I feel bad for him because he seems to be profoundly unhappy, and I'm not a big enough a-hole to take delight in a stranger being miserable. The one thing he was good at was golf, and now he can't do that anymore. He can't even just play the Senior Tour and be decent. he literally can't play, and that's awful for one of the greatest golfers ever.

He's also a cautionary tale: when all you care about is winning, you better hope winning fulfills you. Because if it doesn't, when the winning stops as it is guaranteed to do, all you will have is your trophies. He's Bondsian in the way he is toxic to the sport at large. The difference is, Bonds DGAF if baseball hates him. He seems happy. Tiger needs people to love and adore him, and no one is doing that right now.

I hope he eventually finds an elder statesman role in the game that brings him some solace.

Tiger was the biggest d*ck in sports.
No capacity to deal with adversity.
