When Your personal Life goes to Sh*t no matter what profession your'e in,it has to seep into your professional life somewhat.I am not Dr.Dru,Dr.Oz or any other Dr. for that matter,but Eldrick is going through some serious Sh*t.It HAS to have some sort of impact on His game and it has showed.

Tiger screwed up royally and his wife is going to extract a pound of flesh.

The sooner he can finalize the divorce, while making sure that he has access to his children, regardless of the cost, the better.

Actually, he'd be better off spending every last nickel buying her off and moving on.

He's got plenty of talent and the sooner his mind is clear enough to use it, he'll be back.

He's browbeating himself for being cheap and stupid. Wealthy men know that you pay a "little" bit of money now to avoid these big payoffs later. Tiger should have insulated himself from all women with a trusted buddy/assistant handling all communications, scheduling and "hush money". This would have eliminated the incriminating texts and voicemails, which were the proverbial nails in the coffin for Tiger's marriage and image.

For $1M/year, Tiger could be merrily banging tons of women while still having his marriage and public image intact. Instead, he's paying out over 9 figures to Elin and add'l millions to other women to maintain confidentiality, all while losing a solid 8 figures annually in endorsement income. When the dust settles, the economic impact to him will be at least a quarter BILLION dollars.

Cheap and stupid.

But, it's only money and stuff.

He can't change the past, so he should give her as much money and stuff that she wants and get on with his life and career.

You'd think a Buddhist would understand that and maybe that's what he's doing now.

Who knows?

I'm not saying that he won't feel guilt and pain as a result of his actions when he's finally divorced, but he won't have to have it thrown in his face by his wife who will never forget.

The media will get distracted soon enough.

Sponsors are going to look at this photo of about six people in the stands watching Tiger tee off this morning and think twice about his value as an advertiser. His indiscretions are costing hims hundreds of millions in the long run.

You're right, of course, but America loves a comeback kid.

If he can recover his game, which is questionable, I think he has a chance to recover his career.

No, she didn't. There was a pre-nup in place before all his shenanigans came to light. Tiger is worth way more than $200M, both in current dollars and with future earnings (even with his reduced endorsement income).

I don't think Tiger will regain his Mojo until he starts playing regularly in Tournaments like the other top 50 golfers do. Phil Michelson said in his postmortum interview that he had to start playing more. Phil hadn't played competitive golf since the british Open and it showed on Sunday.

A comparison:

Hunter Mahan - played 20 of 22 events to date (won this week)

Phil Michelson - played 15 of 22 events to date

Tiger Woods - has played 8 of 22 events to date.

Tour top 50 average is 18 of 22

I agree with this. I firmly believe that once he comes back 100% and can get his personal business taken care of he will be even better. When Michael Jordan came back the 1st time he was not the same until the next season. Then they won 3 in a row. And Jordan did not have the same personal issues and such a powerful media spotlight on him like Tiger does.

I think he will come back better.......next year

Yeah they said Tiger Woods net worth is over $600 million dollars and his career earnings top 1 billion. I do think he will get it together once his life stabilizes. Tiger said in interviews yesterday he has been juggling a lot including spending more time with his children which hasn't allowed him to practice like he used to. If he can find a way to balance his new life he will be back.
