Well, we don't know if the drama is over or if it's just beginning. Either way, Tiger Woods' time in sex rehab has come to a close, and he has reunited with his wife and children.
Woods has allegedly left the Mississippi sex rehab clinic that is designed to help him keep his urges under control. His wife, Elin Nordgren, believed by some to be the primary victim in all of Tiger's exploits, accompanied Woods to his home after meeting with him in Hattiesburg.
Media reports are that the couple plans to spend some time together with their children as they attempt to repair their marriage. The drama all unfolded back in late November, when Woods went to the hospital after a car crash. Woods' wife was reported to be a "hero," after she busted out the window of his SUV to pull him out of the truck. That led to an unleashing of all of Woods' dirty laundry, as one mistress after another was unveiled to us like a living, breathing Sports Illustrate swimsuit calendar.
The drama has been costly to Woods, who lost tens of millions of dollars in endorsements, as the world became disappointed that Tiger cheated on his spouse. What is most interesting to me is that we behaved as if he is the only celebrity in history to ever do such a thing. What is also interesting to me is that somehow, Tiger's wife, has not been seriously investigated for domestic violence. I hardly think the world would have been sympathetic had it been Tiger Woods chasing his wife through the yard with a golf club "trying to save her from a car accident."
Tiger Woods will emerge again as the superstar he once was. In many ways, this experience will be liberating for Woods, who will no longer have to go through life pretending that he is perfect. Congratulations, Tiger, I look forward to getting to know the real you.

you have got to be kidding me. She should be investigated for domestic violence. He's a cheated, I wouldn't want him around my children. The only thing he can teach them is dishonesty and trashiness

What he did is wrong.
I can only assume you think you are perfect and make all the right decisions. You are overreacting with strong opinions! In his case, it's called being human with lots of money. Some get away with it some don't. She's in control now let's see what happens, it's not our business! WISHING THEM THE BEST.

You have to be white or a damn fool to think that Tiger should never be able to see or be around his own children. Well listen to this for a minute, first of all you can't punish the children and this is exactly what you would be doing since these children know their father and love him very much. In these children eyes, this is daddy and they love him besides this is all they need to know because they are babies, babies that need their daddy. How about the bible verse that says "He without sin cast the first stone". Oh hell I don't see you ducking so you must have some sin in your life too.

you'll understand positive comments once you've been in a mature relationship. I wish Tiger and his family a healthy recovery...and pray he doesn't lose sight again...he has much to lose...his family.

I didn't know Tiger was teaching classes on cheating. He never said what he did was right. Give the man a break. He made some mistakes and has said he was sorry. What else can he do, I have been there, it is not easy to be strong each and every time. The flesh is weak sometimes.

He's not gay, he just married a woman that is boring in bed. Like I always say to my male friends: If the woman you're interested in is NOT into what you're into, its not going to work; you're going to cheat on her with trash. Any man that cheats should be told to sleep on the floor like any other dog...
