Woods is on a pedestal for his golfing acumen, and he belongs there - for his golfing acumen. Attributing heroic stature to most human beings is tricky business. If we knew everything about many of our sports heroes personal lives we might be naseous. Enjoy and try to emulate how they hit a ball, or throw a ball, or use a racket, or box or wrestle or drive a car etc., etc., but don't hope to emulate their life or you may become sorely disappointed. And that is true of any public figure, not just sports celebs, John Edwards, JFK, Giuliani, FDR, Nixon, all were worshiped and adored by millions.
