It was the hypocrisy, not the immorality, that brought Tiger down for so many.
Ah ok. I stopped following golf after Happy Gilmour retired, so I didnt know about all of this.
I'll reiterate something I believe deeply - the only sportspeople worth admiring are hockey players. Tough SOBs and for the most part, a good dose of humility and no pretensions about trying to be heros.
