So what? Everyone realizes the impertinence of the media. I believe more people would be on Tiger's side if he were to ignore them and return to either rehab or golf without a word a public word in his own defense. But really, he's no smarter, cleaner, wiser or dedicated than any other sleazeball out there
because he gave a statement. He's a mockery.
Secondly, at the outset, it was Tiger's choice to make Tiger a public figure. He participated in a multitude of traditional and internet media to increase his public personae. By his actions alone, he became one of the most visible athletes on Earth.
