For a fellow who ruled the world, few will be able to grasp the mental implosion that he has, is and will continue to face. He may well not have been able to 'think, speak and be capable of doing' the question time circus yet.

Plenty of sports people, polies etc have been in his situation but none have fallen so far. Guilty as charged all of them.

Critics can go him for his past behaviour but guessing where his is in terms of dealing with his personal crisis, if he meant it or not, is just that. Everyone who listened to his speech will have taken a 'view into the how they heard it.' That is a human trait of 'how we know what isn't so' and as such means no matter what or how he said what he did, our perception of his words will have been that of 'he meant it' or 'what a put on.' Glass half empty or half full?

To hell with golf. His kids need him to grow into a better man and be a real role model. Recovery from stupidity is not for just Tiger, it's for his entire family. Let's hope he has great help and the resolve needed. If he succeeds there is hope for ALL families who fall into an abyss.
