I hesitate to attempt a psychoanalytical profile of Tiger Woods, if only because it is very hard to understand how a clearly intelligent person of great physical talent and essential discipline can nonetheless have been so damned stupid.

Here we have a handsome man, at the very pinnacle of his profession, famous and celebrated, wealthy beyond reason, married to a young, gorgeous supermodel - and it's still not enough? A better question, I think is: what was it not enough for? To assuage fears or uncertainties that he has long kept carefully hidden, even from himself? Perhaps.

Perhaps when Mr. Woods can talk about these things, he will be truly ready to take responsibility for what he has done and move on, but I suspect he is nowhere near that point yet. In the meantime, he surely will be ensconced in a legal bubble preventing him from talking about - or dealing directly with the storms he must now endure.

None of that will assist him in the manner he needs, which is to get to the root of whatever made him veer violently off the fairway he so carefully groomed for himself. Or perhaps, it was his father who did all the grooming, and he who did all the straight-and-narrow driving. Somewhere in that relationship I suspect, might lie answers to the questions Mr. Woods may now be asking of himself.

Probably something much simpler: Woods has surrounded himself with those for whom this type behavior is accepted, if not encouraged.

He’s John Daly with a better swing.
