Tiger Woods: How I’ve Redefined Victory

Last November, everything I thought I knew about myself changed abruptly, and what others perceived about me shifted, too. I had been conducting my personal life in an artificial way—as if detached from the values my upbringing had taught, and that I should have embraced.

The physical pain from that car accident has long healed. But the pain in my soul is more complex and unsettling; it has been far more difficult to ease—and to understand. But this much is obvious now: my life was out of balance, and my priorities were out of order. I made terrible choices and repeated mistakes. I hurt the people whom I loved the most. And even beyond accepting the consequences and responsibility, there is the ongoing struggle to learn from my failings.

Looks like Woods is on the rehab trail again. Not sure I agree with him blaming golf for his infidelities. There are plenty of pro golfers out there in happy, stable marriages raising families who didn't feel the need to bang porn stars. But then they probably weren't surrounded by sychophants telling them how great they were every day of the week.

Golf’s tan man sounds remarkably like our tan president. Both would find silence golden.

You redefine victory as not making cuts?

A lot fewer than you think. Professional athletes are notoriously unfaithful. Travel, money, adoration form an intoxicating cocktail.

From Newsweek? Or is it now The Daily Beast? Or is there any difference?

With these ‘celebs’, it always ends up being a ‘more money than brains’ situation.

You could hand me a tiny fraction of that kind of $$$ and I wouldn't go off the rails.

What's with these people?

Nike may be bringing out a new line of merchandise. Don’t worry, the same jock-sniffers Nike and IMG bought before are still on the beat, so we’ll see plenty of positive Tiger news.

Good for him. It sounds like he’s discovered humility, not a bad thing for anyone. I wish our dear leader would take a lesson.

He is losing on the Golf Course just like he is losing in the bedroom. The only thing he can get now is a blow up doll, and even they are asking for him to sign a prenuptial agreement before performing any type of sex act.

biggies on the tour now and in the past ain’t all faithful husbands just like other pro athletes that travel a lot and away from home cooking

But before the TV spotlight with all the endorsements etc etc —it was not a big deal and the press ignored it

But when you create an image to sell yourself it is a two edged sword especially in today’s high profile world

It sounds more like he's channeling Buddha.
