And I suppose members of the public 'demanded' an apology?

The only person he needs to apologise to is his wife, if he so chooses. It's no one elses business. Why does he need to apologise to his fans, they don't like him because of his relationship credentials do they? They're GOLF fans.

If this was his publicist's idea, he should've told them to **** off. Let the man enjoy his penis. He doesn't have to explain himself to the nosey ass general public.

Took the words right out of my mouth.

This is so absurd. I'm not condoning Tiger Woods' sodomy behavior, but is it really anyones business? He doesn't owe the public an apology. For what? What has he done to us? His issue is between him, his spouse, affairs. American press is always sticking their noses in celebs' private business.

It's mostly for his image. He has endorsement deals and he wants and/or needs to get back on the public's good side.
