Sorry, but nothing can take away from his talent. He is, was and always will be a golfing great.

To me, his personal life is just that -- his personal life. What happened between he and any consenting adult is between them and, of course, his wife and family. It is none of our business.

I truly miss the days when it wasn't necessary to report every transgression made by someone famous. In fact, it was kept quiet. Washington was known to sleep in several beds other than his own and the beds were rarely used by just one man. Jefferson not only had sex with his slaves, he fathered children with them. FDR had affairs. So did Eisenhower. Kennedy was notorious (well after the fact, of course). Think Nixon was pretty clean in sexual matters, but not much elsewhere. Bush #1 had been known to stray. Have no clue about Bush #2. Clinton got caught and it besmirched a pretty good presidential run. And, of course, Carter strayed in his heart.

Kareem bragged about sleeping with thousands of women. Magic Johnson caught aids from a woman (he has no clue which one). And so on and so forth.

Being sexually promiscuous does not make you more nor less of a politician, athlete, actor, etc. Now, tell me Tiger cheated while playing golf and I'll happily get on the bandstand and jeer him, as I do Conseco and MacGwire and the other steroid users. Cheating in your sport is wrong and should negate any talent you have. Cheating on your mate is morally wrong but has nothing to do with the talent of the person.
