Man you'd think with all his $$$$$$$$ he could at least find a ride home or use Uber or something. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/golf/2017/05/29/tige...

OMG! Some of you folks are just unreal! When a guy admits the genuine truth and current status of their relationship you question his "credibility". Can't win with a few here...

Oh, btw Weirfan, in you much more thoughtful and long post/reply to me, one thing: I never questioned TW's "veracity". Why you choose to address issues I have not and attribute to me I don't understand.

sorry if that wasn't clearly written , I was referring to me .....why I questioned his veracity , thought you asked why for those of us have

It's sad.

Barkley is the one that said TW cut him off in 2009. When you have not been around someone for 8 years do you really have much credibility about their current conduct. Is that so difficult to understand?

The reality is the tests that TW was submitted to because of the charges will reveal the drugs in his system. So with a bit of patience (approx 2 weeks) additional factual information will be forth coming. It is funny how many now wish that all this information was kept private, but only a few years ago demanded in Florida that all of this type of information within police files be made public. Now it is what it is.

I think a couple of you need more middle school.

Go back and re-read the post about Barkley. How does his 'credibility' figure into what he said?

I have trouble believing Barkley is credible when he opens his mouth.......

"Martin Kaymer has seen the online reaction to Tiger Woods' recent troubles, and he doesn't like it. Not one bit. The former world No. 1 from Germany took to Twitter to express his feelings about "so many comments, so many opinions, they're so unfair and very disrespectful in my opinion."

"Everybody who's involved in golf was changed by his legacy, by his play, by so many things that he has done."

"Yes, he's in the public eye, he's in the spotlight a lot, so of course people will talk about him, but why (are they) so nasty? Why don't you try to do the opposite and help him now, the way he inspired us?"

Reasonably sure he's even talking about us hacks!

No doubt.

Original post removed by your's truly

Well... there comes a time when one needs to man-up and apologize. I used entirely too much profanity this morning while also being way too sanctimonious. It's not going to change my opinion of what I perceive to be a very serious challenge for Woods, and I truly hope that he can find a sincere friend to tell him some things he probably doesn't want to hear, but needs to hear, and he gets the help he needs.

My apologies to those of you who might've felt offended by my unwarranted commentary. Everyone is entitled their opinions!

Cheers. 🙂

Can't even tell who you might be referring to! Par4QC merely qouted Kaymer. Nothing changed in this thread in the past day save for a side 'conversation' about Sir Charles and whether he's more credible about TW than Jack.

Oh, that and the usual sdandrea equivocating; that he doesn't care but, he thinks TW's "children seeing this might give him the wake-up call he needs". Not there's not judgment there either. LOL

All joking aside (hard for me), I stopped caring about the story the same day it came out. Tiger has been irrelevant to me for years. The world has much more interesting topics. However, this thread is of interest because of the furor in it. TW still stirs the pot. You guys are hilarious getting so spun up over nothing. Where's the popcorn smiley?

Laugh all you want professor. My comment was not judgemental. My opinion is that Tiger needs help and the situation is sad if his kids see this. You seem to be judging me, however, and like Tiger, you don't really know me.

I'm just speculating but Tiger rocking the NIKE garb in jail isn't what they had in mind when inking his contract.

I don't know... Some folks seem to think that bad press is better than no press. It sure ain't a commercial!

Some people feel that having an opinion that Tiger might have a problem and needs help is wrong. The irony is that it's no different than the people who are of the opinion and are making the assumption that he doesn't .

Like or dislike Tiger I doubt that any member of this forum would wish and hope that Tiger has an addiction problem, I want to believe that we are all understanding of how terrible that can be. However, we all have the right to formulate our own opinions on what might be going on with him.

Oh geez... Laughing whenever I so choose. I believe we're all judgmental - just a matter of degrees.

He may need help. But, it's usually best to clearly define problems before seeking solutions. We are not gonna know what the problem is.

As far as my equivocating comment, it might actually be more compliment than insult. Since FGI I've noticed you typically take the high road and when offering opinions, yours are usually more measured and conservative. I think we all fall on a range in terms of our reactions - sentiments, some being more opinionated and reactionary and some less.

Agreed.
