No Longer a Fan
This thread will likely bring up a debate about infidelity so I'll take a pre-emptive strike on the subject.

Some will argue that what happens between consenting adults is a private matter and shouldn't be anyone's concern. Others may argue that Tiger's talents, status, and money overshadows his indiscretions and it just proves he's human after all. Forgive him and move on. Along these lines someone will undoubtably say, who are we to morally judge the private lives of others? Remove the plank from your own eye before you remove the speck from your brothers eye.

My issue is that Tiger is a huge public figure with millions of fans. He has done more for golf in the last 10 years than any other single person. Until now his "image" has been squeaky clean so his charm, personality, humor, wins and mental toughness in competition have vaulted him to hero status.

The problem is he is married, has children and broke his marriage promises. Message sent to millions of fans and young aspiring athletes - Its OK to indulge in extra-marital affairs, just don't get caught.

But at the end of the day - Infidelity tears families apart, and that's why I care.
