I'm for Tom Watson, Fred Couples or anyone else approaching senior citizen's age. I think Phil Mickelson is a golfer to be admired for standing by his family in their time of troubles. These type of golfers should be promoted more.
Before the story broke of Tiger’s adventures, I have an uncle who is 97 years old. He always said he didn't like Tiger/Eldrick as he didn’t conduct himself like a gentlemen on the golf course. Obviously, he didn't conduct himself like a gentleman off the golf course.
I hope his recent troubles have humbled him into turning his life around and treating his loved one's with more respect. Only time will tell.
Having been a sports fan for a long time, I hope he doesn't turn out to be another self absorbed celebrity jerk who thinks he is above living a moral lifestyle. I hope he is sincere as everyone's entitled to make a mistake in one's life and certainly, no one is perfect. There is something sad to see a person with so much talent that comes along every fifty years to experience a fall from grace.
Money is a big factor in this equation as it pertains to revenues of other golfers but money shouldn’t be an issue for him as he is almost a billionaire. I would like to think he should be forgiven until he proves that he not capable of any meaningful change.
Only GOD has the right to judge him at the end of his days.
Just my two cents worth and I'll probably have to give back a penny.
