Cheater Woods : Is he out of the woods?

Seemingly spotless Golfer, Tiger Woods made headlines in the newspapers and media because of his series of transgressional stories. The issue hogged media’s attention and was tossed up like a tornado in a storm. Only a few felt that it is only human for someone as successful and rich to step outside his marriage to find an extramarital affair. But to indulge in as many as 20 affairs would call for extreme organizational skills. Had he shown the same dexterity and discerning abilities as in golf he could have gotten away unscathed from the messy situation he architectured. Obviously his championship in golf does not extend to save himself from the mishaps of adultery .

The whole episode cost him dearly as he had to pay 60 million dollars to his wife in damages just to stay with him, a split would have probably cost him even more. But the whores were slicing him like a turkey on a thanksgiving day, looking at the this as a chance to profit from. They showed proofs of his illegitimate affairs with them through permanent and wildly incriminating messages left on the telephone through voice mails and text messages. It seems quite naive of him to think that mistresses would at his request delete a solid proof of damning evidence of their affairs with their multi-million boyfriend  just out of goodness of heart. He obviously didn’t take into account the impact all this will cause to his marriage and kids. His inexperience and carelessness risked his family life to shake the roots of his career and family. His caddy would have come with a better strategy to resolve an issue than that.

And then confiding about his affair to a  friend from media was like adding fuel to fire. Had he confided to a friend who had been in a situation similar to him, he could have had a sympathetic ear. But handing over a juicy story like that to a media friend seemed like he offered himself as an ideal fodder to a hungry fish who would in time would hog on him and tear him him down. So he may be a champion in golf but in dealing with real life issues he proved deficient.

Now as a part of crisis management strategy from a reputed PR firm, he had to give a public apology for his misconduct and announced his decision to take an indefinite break from golf to focus on becoming a better person, a husband and a father. Here is how his latest statement was: “I am deeply aware of the disappointment and hurt that my infidelity has caused to so many people, most of all my wife and children. I want to say again to everyone that I am profoundly sorry and that I ask forgiveness. It may not be possible to repair the damage I’ve done, but I want to do my best to try.” Whether he wants a break to be treated of his sex-addiction, or whether he wants to save his marriage, his invincible expertise in the green battle fields of golf is all anyone wants to see. Outside of the golfing, his life issues have been blown way off-limits.
