It's important to remember that none of us really know Tiger Woods, the man. We know what the press have told us of him and some of that is unpleasant. However I would suggest that if many of us were followed 24/7 by sensationalist, gossip hungry press maybe some unpleasantness might be revealed. What cannot be denied is that he is a sporting masterclass. His determination and will to win is I believe without equal. We should also consider how well thought of he is by his peer group. I've never heard a top pro golfer say anything derogatory about him. Woods made no excuses for his behaviour and has always been an honourable man on the golf course. Let's hope he's learned a little humility during his years in the wilderness.
Contrast his return with that of Smith and Warner to the Australian world cup squad. Two men who in advance planned and carried out an act of deliberate cheating and then stood back while someone else took the flak. Australian cricket has no moral scruples or backbone.
