So am I a fan of Tiger as a golfer? No. I just can't...and don't wish to...separate enough what he's done on the golf course from what he's done off the course.

That doesn't mean I wish him any ill-health. Get well, Tiger. While not a fan, I will admit it would be very interesting to watch another comeback attempt.

(And never in a million years would I think the phrase "Poor guy can't catch a lucky break" applies to Tiger.
Do you know what a backhanded compliment is? Look it up. I don't feel pity for Tiger but concern. And he deserves points for being a good father. Reportedly his own father wasn't a particularly moral role model and, you know, the apple and the tree.
