It always gets me how this man and Jack Nicklaus can even be mentioned in the same sentence. The only time this should ever happen is for golf achievements but that's where it ends. My opinion of Tiger Woods wasn't affected by this incident, it was cemented long ago and once again it staggers me how anyone could ever defend this man.
In Jack Nicklaus' day people and society generally had higher standards.
In today's post-Christian western world anything goes and the results shouldn't come as a surprise.
It's unfair to judge Tiger by the moral standards of another era. I don't think anything he did is particularly shocking today.
What a load of bollocks! The West may have become multi-cultural in recent decades, for better or worse, but it is still working upon Christian laws, values and holidays, even if those actually attending church is in decline. The Queen remains the head of the Church of England.
Almost everyone I know is at least nominally Christian, or has at least some belief in a 'supreme being' and the vow of HOLY MATRIMONY is hardly 'of another era' is it?
Adultery is just as sinful today as it ever was. It's an absolute betrayal of one's spouse, and always will be. To even suggest otherwise is to indulge in self-deception of the worst kind.
How can you even begin to condone Tiger Wood's behaviour, on any level? To suggest that morality somehow belongs in 'another era' is frankly, absurd, and actually indicative of the selfish me, me, me mentality that is causing so much damage to wider Western society. God help us if you and others genuinely have that attitude, Superfrank. I'm both shocked and disappointed.
