He seemed sincere to me too, but I don't think he knows what he's up against. Tiger is "spoiled" with the ability to learn every trick in golf and invent some new. But changing personality and life style is much harder than changing the golf swing.

I don't share the pessimistic view about his future though. If he pulls it off he will get a better life outside the course. People will respect him as they used to and love him even more. But this will not happen overnight, and it is not a given that he succeeds either.
