On another topic, why has he been so silent? The hits just keep on coming and other than releasing statements about his infidelity written by a team of crafty lawyers, Tiger hasn’t said a word. Recently talk show host David Letterman beat the media to the punch and blew the whistle on himself admitting he has had relations with woman that work for him. Yes, it took someone to threaten him with blackmail, but Letterman didn’t hide from it and after a few days of it being all over the media, it’s pretty much over and we don’t really care anymore. Tiger should have done the same thing and talked about it right away. It would have been all over the news and tabloids for a week or so and most people probably would have moved on from it pretty quickly. Instead, he is silent and the stories of Tiger keep multiplying and we have now seen his first sponsor part ways with Eldrick, that being global consulting firm Accenture. He still has plenty of the companies he sponsors standing by him, but who is next to distance themselves from Tiger? AT&T and Gillette have announced they will limit his role in their promotions and I think more are coming.

Tiger has put himself in the public light, he is a role model for so many people in this world and has never had a problem with that before. Because of that, he has an obligation to be accountable to people who look up to him. Having said all this, it’s easy for all of us standing on the outside looking in to give advice and say what is right and wrong about how he is handling all this. I really like Tiger Woods and still do, he is fun to watch and I look forward to him returning whenever that may be.
