Scott 5Tiger Woods set to return to golf!!!!!

Well this topic has undoubtedly been done to death by everyone but I thought it was time I put my two cents worth in on the Tiger Woods Scandal.
I had the great privilege and fortune to attend the Masters in a volunteer capacity when Tiger Woods was playing. Little did I or anyone else realise that this would be the end of Tiger's squeaky clean image.
A car crash metres from his home set off the most bizarre chain of events anyone could possibly imagine. There were stories that wife Elin Nordegen had chased him from the house swinging a golf club. There was talk of false ID's needed to get Woods into the hospital and that he was apparantly unconscious.
All we know for definite is that he crashed his car into a tree and fire hydrant.
Then the story started to emerge.
He had alledgedly cheated on Elin with some random girl. For someone squeaky clean, this was a massive blow for Woods but there was much worse to come when some 13 other women claimed they had an affair with him.
By this stage the jokes were running freely with the following claims:
Apparantly Woods couldn't decide between a wood or iron (referring to crash)
He's nearly played a full round of golf with these ladies (14 out of 18)
Each revelation shocked everyone and wife Elin had had enough, taking their children away and making plans to file for a $300 million divorce. This is one very expensive and ugly divorce.
Ever since, no-one has seen Woods in public and no-one has a clue where he actually is. Some say he was seen with one of his alledged mistresses. Others say that he's staying at someone's hotel. Either way he's lost credibility and sponsors.
The other day it was announced that he has plans to return to the PGA Tour once he completes rehab for sex addiction.
This is great news for Tiger but also huge news for the PGA Tour. The question that undoubtedly remains is What's his state of mind?
As a male, I was shocked by these revelations because it now means that no woman would in their right mind be able to trust men as much. If Tiger (used to be squeaky clean) is capable of cheating on his wife, what's to say other men are cheating on their partners? This coincided with the increase in hire of private investigators to check on the fidelity of men everywhere. Clearly we men cannot be trusted anymore.
In any such saga and scandal, there can be no winner and the biggest loser undoubtedly is Woods himself. He's lost sponsors, the respect of many people and a reputation which he prided himself on. Not far behind in the loser stakes would be wife Elin Nordegen who now has to raise their children away from Woods but she'll walk away with a huge settlement.
It's been an extraordinary couple of months in golf and hopefully Woods can come back and show everyone why he's number 1 in the world.
