Opinions vary widely on whether Tiger Woods was being sincere or arrogant in his press conference on Friday. But it really doesn't matter. Because, in the long run, actions speak louder than words.

Actually, I was pleasantly surprised by the overall tone of his statement. While I had written that I wished Tiger hadn't read from a prepared statement , I was happy to see that he only blames himself and that he knows he has a long way to go.

But the bottom line will be what Tiger does, not what he says. Look, it's his personal life that needs to be repaired; we as fans shouldn't give a damn whether Elin ever forgives him.

I agree that the press should leave his kid alone, and that they shouldn't be speculating on whether any of this is Elin's fault. This whole charade is Tiger's fault and he made that clear.

Critics of Tiger's statement on Friday point to his somewhat stoic expression as indicative of arrogance or even defiance. But I saw a weary man who knows he is beaten. Something he hasn't had much experience in, by the way, until now.

But again, it doesn't matter what I think and it doesn't matter what anyone thinks. Tiger did what he did, and the past cannot be undone. All he can do is strive to live his life in a better manner going forward.

And all you or I should concern ourselves with is how he performs once he gets back on the golf course.
