I distinguish between Woods the husband/father and Woods the brand -- admittedly this is a fine line to walk. He can be transparent about the issue, his transgressions and admitting that he has a problem that he is attempting to work out. He can stop at that point without further involving his family - especially if they are attempting to salvage the marriage. If this is not the case then everything else could be fair game, unless they have a pre-nup and then the parties would have to live up to the contract as agreed upon.

I am in general agreement with your thoughts about Woods but felt let down near the end of the article. You advise Tiger to "be as transparent as you can afford to be." I hate to be picky but one is either transparent or not. It's like advising a woman to be as pregnant as you can afford to be. Either you are or you're not. If what you mean is for Woods to appear to be transparent than that's stonewalling and would contradict your earlier advice. You seem to be more rational when the topic is removed from politics.
