Don Wassall said:With the future President of the World now done for the year with continuing knee problems, it's a win-win situation for the Caste media. Updates and speculation on the sacred knee will be constantly discussed as the number one topic for the rest of 2008 and beyond, while the winner(s) of the final two majors will be "tainted" because Woods isn't participating, as the announcers and pundits are sure to incessantly remind everyone. Maybe Tim Finchem will decree that an asterisk be placed beside their names.
Interesting isn't it that in this revolting era of media hounding of celebrities, Woods' personal life is left totally unscrutinized. No papparazzi waiting outside his estate to follow him, no photographs of him ever except on the golf course. His wife is similarly left alone. The hounding of celebrities seems to be pretty much a whites-only phenomenon.

The above paragraph by Don is especially pertinent now:
"Interesting isn't it that in this revolting era of media hounding of celebrities, Woods' personal life is left totally unscrutinized. No Papparazzi waiting outside his estate to follow him, no photographs of him ever except on the golf course. His wife is similarly left alone. The hounding of celebrities seems to be pretty much a whites-only phenomenon."
In yesterday's Washington Post, Leonard Shapiro had a column in which he wrote:
"I'm stunned, and maybe that's why I've also been feeling somewhat uneasy ever since Woods's run-in with a fire hydrant on Nov. 27 became public. Plainly put, I'm also a little embarrassed that I did not have a clue about Wodds's bizarre double life in what has become one of the most shocking free-falls from grace in the history of sports."
I recall Shapiro having a column in Pro Football Weekly in the 1970's when he covered the Redskins. The gist of his Tiger column is that the media had no idea of Tiger's "extracurricular activities."

Tiger Woods named Athlete of the Decade by US sports editors
Woods voted top athlete of the decadeTiger Woods was named Athlete of the Decade by US sports editors, despite three weeks of sex scandal headlines.
Even after a shocking sex scandal that tarnished Tiger Woods,
...
Woods was selected Wednesday as the Athlete of the Decade by members of The Associated Press in a vote that was more about 10 years of performance than nearly three weeks of salacious headlines.
Just like so many of his victories, it wasn't much of a contest.
Woods received 56 of the 142 votes cast by AP member editors since last month. More than half of the ballots were returned after the Nov. 27 car accident outside his Florida home that set off sensational tales of infidelity.
Lance Armstrong, a cancer survivor who won the Tour de France six times this decade, finished second with 33 votes. He was followed by Roger Federer, who won more Grand Slam singles titles than any other man, with 25 votes.
...
A new image emerged quickly in the days following his middle-of-the-night accident, when he ran his SUV over a fire hydrant and into a tree. He became the butt of late-night TV jokes, eventually confessed that he "let my family down" with "transgressions" and lost a major sponsorship from Accenture.
Even so, AP members found his work on the golf course over the last 10 years without much of a blemish. Woods took an early lead in balloting, and continued to receive roughly the same percentage of votes throughout the process.
