Why would anyone take a small, grainy photo of him, and why not more than one?

If you read the article, that's supposed to be a teaser. NE has more to to come. We'll see.

That's true. Most paparazzi have cameras that can take 8+ photos per second. But maybe there's only really one where Tiger was looking up? If that's even Tiger. Edit: see safetrip's post about a teaser. But, at this point, I'm inclined to think it's him. As for how much I care, well, that remains near zero. To those who will try to paint "sex addiction" (if this is true) as some sort of cop-out, well, I suppose you should ask yourself how much you truly know about addiction. I know next to nothing about it but I've heard from enough people who are knowledgeable (either by being an addict or by studying it, scientifically) to know that it's a very real thing. But I'm also cynical enough to consider the PR of being able to blame something on a "disease" that you don't actually have. But I still don't really care. It's his life, and the only laws he broke resulted in his $164 fine. Wake me when he plays golf next.

I read somewhere that typically, it's a 6 week program at that particular clinic. So I'm guessing he will have a press conference before long, trying to clear the air before taking on a warm up tournament for the Master's. I originally thought he might sit out most of the year. But it looks like he is getting some pr work done rehab behind him, early enough in the year to make it back by the Master's. Time will tell...........

Exactly

His personal life is up to him...which is still undecided since he has said nothing. WHO CARES!!!! As Rodney King once said "Can't we all just get along?" He will play the Masters as his first tourney back.... and I will get a few extra rep points. PS. I'm a Phil fan

From the photos I saw he looked like (if it was him) he might have been coming out of a gym.

God, not a sex addition clinic, i'll give him 6 months and anything remotely approaching Lady GaGa before he's back to his best , not sure on the golf front.

Besides clinics are for quitters! ;0)

I thumbed through the Vanity Fair pictures yesterday and they had a very staged feel to them. Ithought they were supposedly taken randomly by one of Tiger's skanks. Now, I didnt buy the magazine or read the article, but the pictures did look like he was posing on purpose. Curious if anyone else noticed that?

[Tiger Spuds]

Are those the pictures where he was lifting weights etc?They were taken 4 years ago by a Vanity Fair photographer and they just decided to use them last month.To my knowledge, none of his mistresses have released any personal pictures of him, yet.. Besides, who'd actually want to see pictures like that.?

[iacas]

Yeah, Annie Leibovitz took the pictures several years ago. Y'know, Annie Leibovitz. If Tiger was schtooping her then his sex addiction really was out of control.

Good for Tiger? Yes

Good for golf? Probably Good for her? I don´t know

CNN is reporting "Elin Nordegren is hoping to save her marriage to Tiger Woods."

Tossing aside money, fame, and any other stupid reasons and looking at these two people (in other words, speaking generally about marriage in general)...

I think far too many people give up on marriages these days because it might take a little bit of effort and they see the short-term gains of not putting in the effort but don't consider the long-term gains of having a long, eventually successful marriage. Your vows often include "for better or worse, in sickness and health." If someone has an actual illness and is getting treatment for it, well, that falls under "or worse" and "in sickness." The right thing may be to stick to the person and help them. That said, sometimes people stay in marriages because they want to believe in something. There is no long-term upside but they think there is. None of us have any clue which of those situations is most likely a fit here. That's for them to figure out. And every marriage is different. I just hope, regardless of whatever happens personally, we get to see the guy playing golf sooner rather than later.

[sean_miller]

They should make every effort to save their marriage, because they can always get divorced later - if it doesn't work out.

Tiger's kids will eventually be aware of what happened, but they'd probably still be better off having him in their lives. Maybe a new improved less-of-a-jackass Tiger will be an even better father, should the marriage turn out to be unsalvageable.

[FHopper]

Having been married for 40 years I can only say figuring it all out is sure worth it.
I wish we were going to see Tiger at Torrey Pines.

[colin007]

Good for Tiger? Yes

from a selfish perspective, tiger would prolly be better off professionally if she divorced him...he would then put this behind him and play golf all he wants and chase all the poontang he wants. of course, the price of keeping the family together happily outweighs any of that.
