Most of you will find these comments either absolutely ignorant or in some way biased.  Tiger Woods win no more majors!  How dare you say.

Yet for some time I have been getting this feeling that he will not win another major.

The reasons strike at the heart of what is good about golf, and bad about Tiger.  And they say nothing about money or fame.  For these, Tiger is assured the No. 1 position, perhaps of all time.

But what is enduring and lasting is not money.  It is reputation.  If you are without reputation, your position in history is tainted.  And for all of his wonderful play, his enduring reputation will forever be mass adultery on a scale unknown from any married player in any sport. 

If those of you who support Tiger Woods point to his defense of a "sexual addiction" or to a whole host of other excuses, most notably the fact that other athletes do the same thing, please provide me with medical acceptance of the one, or evidence of the other by married athletes.  There are of course worse excuses, like that his wife did not perform well, or that she was hard to live with.

The life of a sneaky, unembarrassed mass adulterer is one that leads to inevitable problems.  It leads to social opprobrium, and properly so, especially when children are involved.  The idea that despite the adultery, a man or woman is entitled to sympathy for their wrongful—at times, disgusting—acts, is beyond the pale.

Of course, adulterer as victim does have one saving grace.  In order to get massively self-absorbed, egotistical people back into a relationship, the better advice is to treat them as the victim.  This gives them support when needed and at times allows the relationship to continue.

But in the end, the adulterer ends up quiting the relationship.

Woods benefitted from an adoring public, amazed at his feat...
