That led him to the world of alcohol and drugs (which is pure speculation). He will enter a rehab clinic to try to fix his troubles and when he comes out he wants to reconcile with his wife and try to be the father that his children deserve. People are forgiving and eventually some other celebrity/athlete will screw up and everyone will forget about Tiger. It may be 100% BS, but it might buy him sympathy with some people reguarding his endorsements. As far as the golf crowd goes, I still really believe that most of his fans (which are probably older males) couldn't give a damn about his extra activities. We all have all heard stories on golf courses, hell I know they always have knock outs judging those closest to the pin contest when I golf at outings. Personally I dont agree what he has done, but I really couldn't care less. It's none of my buisness.

I agree with you that he's going to come out and say that he has a real problem. However, I don't think he will blame anyone or make any excuses. If he tries to make excuses, it won't go over well. He's just going to have to come out and say: 1. I have a problem. 2. It is solely my fault that I develpoed this problem. 3. I have completely humiliated myself and my family. 4. I apologize to my family and my fans. I have let alot of people down. 5. I apologize to the girls that I had the affairs with. I put them in a bad situation. 6. I'm going to get help and I'm going to make sure that this never happens again.
I think those will basically be the talking points. He's going to have to take full responsibility. If he tries to blame others or make excuses, the apology won't be nearly as effective.
