Tiger Woods Comes Back

As I'm sure many of you have all heard that the PGA is putting on their annual Masters tournament this weekend. Also you have probably heard that Tiger Woods will be making his return to professional golf in this tournament. Of course with him coming back the media will be all over it, like they have been for months. The media loves scandals and this was a huge one. Tiger Woods had this good guy, clean, family man image that was tainted when he was involved in a sex scandal for the ages. It came out to many media outlets that he has had sex with numerous other women who are not his wife. Not to mention a good amount of these women were pornstars.

Now I understand that media is attracted to controversy like a fly to shit, but honestly when is enough, enough? What Tiger did was very wrong. I do not condone cheating on a spouse in any way. He has done a serious wrong here. He has been taking the steps to make things right. He recognized he had a huge problem and went to therapy. He is trying to make things right with his marriage, but that is an uphill battle to say the least. Everyone likes to talk about how insincere his apologies have been. They want him to show over the top emotions, but that just isn't Tiger Woods. The only time he ever shows emotion is on a golf course, and that is usually limited to a fist pump after a big putt. He is not a guy who will show emotion, if anything he is more like a robot who was only programmed to play golf.

People complain about what he did, and the media loves to talk about him every chance they get, but the fact is Tiger Woods puts fans in the stands at any golf tournament he shows up at. Why do you think he wasn't suspended from the PGA when this all came out? He took time away from golf on his own. He was not necessarily told to, he might have been by publicists because it was the best idea to step away for a while. Now that he is back, whether you love him or hate him, there will be millions watching him. They will tune in to see the reaction he gets when he finally steps up to that first tee. Golf needs him which is why they would never get rid of him. The media is all over for his indiscretions, but they are still focussed on him.

The media needs to back off. The man made a huge mistake, multiple times. Let him do what he has to do behind closed doors to fix his personal life. This constant coverage is not helping either side get through this.
