In what other sport or branch of entertainment is a star required to be a posterboy for middleclass morality? If Tiger were a movie actor or a rock star or a footballer we'd shrug at these revelations.
Just one more aspect of our celebrity-obsessed voyeurism. Tiger's just the flavor du jour. The bigger question to me is why there's a cultural addiction to this sort of escapism - are we really that bored/anxiety-ridden?
