Tiger has faults, no doubt about that. I don't condone or defend his bad language, but I do understand it. It's not uncommon in professional sports. Tiger is caught a lot more because he's on camera a lot more than most players. And lately, he's been hitting a lot more bad shots than he's used to.

Jordan Spieth is a fine player and a mature young man. He conducts himself very well. Most people said the same thing about Tiger before the incident with his wife.

I can tell you that I don't know of anyone that works harder at golf than Tiger. I can also tell you that I've seen him around groups of kids doing clinics and signing autographs and he's great with them.

He sought and received help for his sex problems. From what I understand, he is very sorry for what happened and has mended his ways. Lindsey Vonn would not be around for so long if she didn't think that he was sincere about that.

Maybe he should seek some help in controlling his emotions and not using foul language. But I don't think that even that would deter some people from hating him.
