Look at what Kobe did and it seems to me that it has been TOTALLY FORGOTTEN. Funny in sports that Championships seem to shut up all the talk about the other stuff these guys do. Tiger is more recognized than Kobe ever was or ever will be and it will take him to win more championships than it took Kobe for it to be FORGOTTEN and Tiger will win MORE championships than Kobe ever thinks about. It won't be today or tomorrow or even next year but after 10 or 12 more Majors and 5 more PGA Player of the Year awards plus all the money that all the OTHER Pro's are making solely because of HIM, Tiger will be forgiven and all will be well again. Never condoled what he did and never will. I would not blame Elin or whatever her name is if she left him last month, today or next year even if he never does a single thing wrong but face it, America is a fogiving society in the long run and no matter what you do, eventually all will be fogotten and forgiven. In the mean time, he is still the best golfer ever, best athlete in his sport versus other athletes in theirs, and name 1 other athlete that has done more for his sport overall than Tiger. My guess is Bird / Magic for the NBA is probably the closest when even the finals was tape delayed and all that before they came into the league. Ali / Jackie Robinson maybe splitting hairs on some of these but just to consider him with these is enough for me. Golf has grown expanantially in all phases because of 1 name and one name only, TIGER. People watch more when he plays, Pros make comments when they win that Tiger was in the field, Commentators make comments when Pros win that Tiger was not in the field, Tiger could change his name to GOLF and nobody would question it. Not on his jock strap and I have not swung a golf club since I shot 73 at Sportland in Winchester about 7 years ago. Yes I was fairly decent at one time but 25 abdominal surgeries will make you give your clubs away, which is what I did. I can't wait to try and teach my son to play and I will use Tigers golf swing and what all I know about him on the coarse to teach him the best that I can.

From a money standpoint, I say on ESPN that Tiger was making 4 Million a MONTH on his endorsements before all this. Grant it many left but just sit and watch how many take their place begging for his endorsements in a year. 2 years from now and he will be making 8 Million a MONTH and those that did not stand by him now will be WISHING they had because if they come crawling back, and they will, it will cost them PLENTY. Tiger is the only BILLIONAIRE athlete per ESPN, People will pay, Build it and they will come, People will Pay - seems there is a movie there somewhere and "Field of Dreams" could be named "Fairways of CASH"
