That was great.
Sincere, direct, believable.
The man has sinned, but he came clean. Forgive him.
The best part to me was the emphasis on the fact these are issues between him and his wife, NOT the rest of the world. And she must be some woman, to stand by him through this.
And if she can, who are we to cast stones at him? He was earnest, looked straight into the camera and powerfully honest.
Yes, cynics can say he'd still be at it if he hadn't been caught (like a virtual ton of pro athletes past and present as we all surmise). But he did, and he knows he screwed up, and as a forgiving nation of people, we should accept his mea culpa.
I DO wonder why the camera angle changed on both Golf Channel and CNN, and I assume everywhere on pool camera from straight on to angle showing his mother and friends -- but not Elin -- because his straight-to-the-camera approach rang clearest to me.
Leave him alone, TMZ and your ilk. He's got his problems and so do we. He's rich and famous and a fallen idol, but he'll be back, and I, for one, am behind him 100 percent.
Oh, and nice blue curtain exit at the end ...
