I had always been a fan of Tiger but it has become clear that the Tiger we knew is just a mirage in the desert. He’s just not worthy of our admiration, only some polite golf claps.

From his creepy news conference to the ultra-creepy ad using his father to revive his pocketbook, Tiger has been pushing my buttons from the night he was found snoring in the street. Now we are told we cannot criticize him, even though not a shred of truth has emerged here – except that of his many mistresses, including now a neighbor of his in FLA.

Or how about the $10 million he allegedly paid to Uchitel? Where is the integrity in that? And why her and only her?

You see, despite all the effort, nothing but questions remain and until he comes out of the bubble, he’ll be hounded by the snickers and giggles, the jokes and the punchline that he has become. If you sponsor Tiger, well, you get the scandal too, hope you got a discount.

In the end, does anybody like what they’ve heard enough to continue to heap praise on this guy, who turns out, will do anything to save his image, like a politician caught with a six-year old boy? Will winning a frickin’ golf tournament really absolve him? Not in my eyes.

So go ahead, win the Masters, just know that a bunch of people who used to root for you are now hoping you pull a Vandevelt on the whole thing.
