See the story on the main page. The US is only getting the Tiger Woods bundle, and it will be $60 (the game by itself will be $50). Europe will get both the Tiger Woods and Grand Slam bundles.

Man, I have to ask... what the hell are we pay and playing in Tiger Woods? While new courses would make sense, they don't really make sense when you consider EA releases a new game every year.

New clubs? I guess ths time it sort of makes sense (stressing the sort of) because newer clubs would have different weight distribution, hit physics etc. So P&P is for the real golf fan....?

I think in the PS3 and 360 versions there are new courses as DLC.

Ugh it's pretty terrible. Sometimes it's costumes, extra levels, or extras weapons. The other DLC is you pay for CHEAT CODES and/or unlocking things(which can be unlocked by actually playing the game).

To be fair, EA isn't the only company selling stuff you can unlock. Some people are too lazy to actually play the game and are willing to buy a save state rather than unlock it themselves.

I don't usually click on internet ads, but the new Tiger Woods ad (http://wii.ign.com/index/release.html) is very creative. I'd say it even tops the Warioland/Youtube ad awhile back.
First click on Tiger, then click the golf ball.

Title: Re: Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 w/ M+
Post by: D_Average on June 08, 2009, 08:10:26 PM
First off I haven't had a Tiger game since 07, on Wii. As soon as I started up I got a sponsor bonus for being a previous customer, since the save is on my Wii. 8)
So I got the Motion Plus, of course. Ran through the standard difficulty tutorial. First couple shots were no problem. Then you have to naturally draw/fade, twisting your wrists. First one I shanked way left into the water. No problem after that, adjusted aim a little better. Only other shot I missed was the putt. Hit it a little too soft. With regular swings I tend to look down in my normal golf stance, and not at the screen while swinging. With putts, I had to work to keep my head on the screen, looking at the putting distance %. Can't just do it on feel alone yet.
So I hit quick play, 18 holes at Banff Springs (par 71), as Tiger. Of course playing as Tiger is hardly fair. I reached all the par 5s in two. Speaking of that, there's a nice pulse-pounding moment when you're going for the green. Wiimote shaking in your hands, it's fun.
So I bogeyed two holes. Both times were 3 putts, where I just barely got on the green, didn't get my long putt within 8 feet, and missed the medium putts for par. The putting meter is clearly labeled, the putt preview thing is accurate, etc... I just couldn't quite get the feel. Sometimes I would take it back too far, and try to soften through the swing, which ended up being too soft. I later remembered that letting go of B cancels swing, so that helped me start getting my distances right.
I still can't quite get the feel of drives, mostly hitting between 80-90%. I think I rush my swing, and don't take a complete backswing, which is a real-life golf problem for me... I don't get the distance some of my friends do. So at least it's consistent. :rolleyes: I did have some luck with pausing at the top of my backswing and then following through.
Anyway, my putting all came together at the end of the round, and I finished with 3 birdies on 15-17, and an eagle on the 18th for a 29 on the back, and a 62 overall.
Feels very good so far. I expect more challenge as my created self that can't quite hit as far as Tiger. But the swinging and putting feel great. No problems like the old game of accidental swings, or mishits. And much better at gauging my distance than in Wii Sports or previous Tiger. Some of those 50-70% shots I did on chips I got within 10% of what I was aiming for, and had reasonable putts to try.
So very fun first round. Now I can't decide if I want to create-a-golfer or try disc golf next... ???

Post by: Stele on June 09, 2009, 03:19:03 PM
Yes, just finished my first round, also on Banff Springs. Double bogey and bogey to start my first two holes. Ended up 2 over on the front, so mostly that first hole. Shot 6 under on the back, so 4 under for the round.
It's interesting... I think I only missed ONE shot with the putter disc. So the challenge is really getting within 20 yards as quickly as possible.
Seems a bit annoying, in that I will throw the 150 yard disc 90%, but it will go 125 yards. 125/150 = 83% ??? ??? ???
I think my best throw the whole time was a 99%, which went 143 yards, which is only 95%.
Perhaps it's my angle of release, tilted too high, too low, something? Can't quite figure it out, but I also can't remember the last time I threw a real frisbee around. ;D
Either way, it's fun. I can still see it being a good party game, a la Wii Sports bowling.

Would you say the way you tilt the wiimote when you throw accurately reflects the curve you see in the flight of your disc?

Would love to play if the darn thing would connect. Not seeing any other complaints on gamefaqs or easports websites though, so it seems like it's just me. But why would the in-game online store work and not the other online features?
Anyway, I had a friend over to play disc golf and he had similar results to mine, but more drastic. He bogeyed the first 5-6 holes, but then on the back shot 6 under. Seems like it gets pretty easy to birdie once you get the hang of it.
And I've just been playing tournament challenges. I like the short bursts of a few holes here and there, moreso than the long tournaments I think. I did set my PGA season to only play 2 round tournaments. It said there was no way to change that, which seems a little odd. But I figure I'd rather play more courses and get through a few more seasons and less rounds would help.

Well, picked it up last night, couldn't wait for the reviews, just had to try the new lotion.
Anyway, here are some quick impressions:
+ Tons of stuff to do, 20+ courses, disc golf, lots of mini games + M+ works great for draw and fade shots + Its a great relaxing experience to play a round while listening to music or a podcast in the background. + The swinging isn't glitchy at all as it was in 07 at least
- Disc Golf is a cool addition, but its just that. The Frisbee physics are a bit inconsistent, but hey, its their first time out. - Some of the wacky costumes must be purchased with Wii points. Lame.
Overall, I'm glad I picked it up, especially with the discounted lotion. As a PS3 owner, I just can't see why anyone would just the 360/PS3 version over Wii if you have both systems. The HD graphics are really not that far ahead of what I'm seeing on the Wii, and the game play on the other versions is so MUNDANE. Essentially, you stare at a moving line and press X at the right time. This Wii iteration of Woods has the potential to be one of the best sports gaming experiences in gaming thus far.

The M+ attachment actually makes the wiimote just long enough to actually use the 1 & 2 buttons on the remote comfortably when holding it with one hand.

But don't start you tournament today if you have the forecast channel active. Bethpage Black is raining and I'm having a hard time doing what I want to do since I got used to playing with Tiger :(
Not sure if the Tourneys are random, but I'm starting off on Bethpage Black and was 4 over par on the 4th hole. Not starting off all that good.

Now that we have M+, why did they not include the ability to break clubs over your leg? Seems like a no brainer. Just turn the wiimote sideways and apply a hard, downward, thrust.

Actually there are 2 or 3 animations that you can select for your player in which they do exactly that. There's also 2 where they rip the head off the putter, one with their teeth and one with their hand. :o

Well in the created player, you have 8 custom animations to choose from for good/bad reactions. So 16 total. But you don't have to select all 8. So if you wanted you could just set the 2 club breaking ones or the 2 ripping the head off ones for your only bad reactions. Then pretty much every time you missed a putt or got a bogey or worse, your guy should do that. ;D

Post by: Stele on June 10, 2009, 07:49:27 PM
I'm still working on challenges. The easy ones are doable with low stats. And some of the medium ones as well. Now I'm at 50-60% on most stats, and have finished all easy and 10/16 medium challenges. After that I might finally start tournament play, or I might do the hard challenges. Probably will try a round and see if I shoot well.
When I tried playing a tournament round right after creation I got really frustrated after the first 2 holes and decided to quit. :rolleyes:
So looking forward to trying it with some more skills now.

My problem is not only is my arm sore from trying to hit 100% power on my shots, but trying to hit 100% on my shots apparently is making the blood rush down to my hand and it really f'n hurts.
But I was juiced last nite when I made a long ass putt on a sloping green last nite, and then on the challenge right after it I was jumping up and down when an even longer putt (45ft?) landed right on the lip of the hole. I really felt like I am the one golfing, but damn does it make my hand hurt from the rushing blood. Is that normal?

F that Pebble Beach Challenge final hole on easy.
How hard do I have to swing to get 100% and why is there such a big difference between where it said the ball would go @ 100% and where it landed when I actually hit it 95%? I was was no where near the marker. I even got stuck in the freaking sand trap for 3 strokes and on the ocean twice. WTF.
The 3 holes before that went beautifully, but that last one has got me all messed up 2 times now. I go from being -1 or Par to Quadruple Bogey in one freakin hole.
Title: Re: Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 w/ M+
Post by: Stele on June 11, 2009, 07:30:14 PM
Well the target zone is where the ball ends up after the shot, not where it lands. Your woods and generally 1-5 irons have a very low trajectory, and to end up where the circle is will land several yards in front of the circle. You lower 6-9 irons, and all of your wedges will have a very high trajectory, and generally land pretty close to the front of the circle.
So if you're driving the 18th at Pebble Beach, you should be aiming to the right side of the fairway giving your ball plenty of space to land.
Or you could try all-play mode, which actually is supposed to show your ball's flight path. At least that will help visualize what I'm describing.
Anyway, I got eagle that hole last night in one of the challenges with my created golfer. So it's not that bad. ;D

EA Support responded with the usual bull about checking my ports and stuff. I ran the Nintendo tool they suggested as well and it says my network is fine. And since Mario Kart, Smash, Guitar Hero, and Rock Band all work online, I'm really annoyed with their basic support so far.
I mean the online store in career of TW10 works! But the Online button on the main menu will never connect. They could at least tell me what the difference is between the two connections so maybe I could figure out what's wrong. >:(

To be honest, I don't really know, but I doubt you would be golfing at the exact same time as someone else while playing on the same Wii, so I think 1 wiimote multiplayer would be obvious. But EA did leave pointer controls out of GST, so who knows.

Post by: Stele on June 12, 2009, 02:52:11 PM
Yeah I wonder who they had playtesting this thing. As soon as I started challenges, when there was one I realized I couldn't pass part of the way through I wanted to restart. But having to quit and reload the same challenge is annoying. Not being able to choose frisbee color on disc golf seems like another no-brainer. Just a few little annoyances like that that bother me and keep the game from being perfect.
As for pass the wiimote play, yeah it works in all normal modes and disc golf as well. And I think in all the arcade modes, and the T-I-G-E-R mode. It does not work in the specific "party" mode mini games. It tells you you need more than one wiimote. It sounds like the party thing is more like a collection of minigames that you earn points for and some simultaneous ball tug-of-war thing in there.

Anyone figure out the save issue? I have autosave turned on buts it definitely not saving progress in matches. There seems to be only a quit option. I hope I'm just not seeing it as not including the ability to save your progress is a huge oversight in a golf game. Whoever missed that one deserves a dick slap. Having to set aside enough free time in your schedule to play 18 holes is the furthest thing from convenient.

Finally got the time this morning to dedicate some time t Tiger 10 and I really hope that EA is promoting this thing heavily. The pure intuitive perfection of the M+ for golf is astounding. I played through my first full 18 hole game in Career Mode and came in at 25 over par.. just about what I would expect were I actually out and about playing golf.
After spending some time tweaking my clubs I feel more confident in my accuracy (Oh, and I used some XP to improve my character too) and I'm not slicing every single time I hit the ball any more.
Most of all I'm just having a lot of fun. My right arm aches from playing though.
If anybody want to laugh at my ineptitude my EA persona is Tanatoes. Naturally.

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on June 13, 2009, 04:18:34 PM
I played my friend that is a TW veteran (PS2) and he hung with me in the game, but ultimately my putting skills beat him in both games we played.
His approach was pretty good since he knows golf, and using the clubs, which clubs to use in which scenarios, when to go up or down a club, changing the angle on the ball and all that. I was impressed with how much he could do while taking all that into effect, but I would still win since my putting skill was f'n amazing last nite. All he could say was "Your putting is f'n ridiculous!" & "do you ever miss anything under 15 feet?"
either way, we had a good match and now I have a headache from driking too much while playing.
Interesting Fact(?) that I learned last nite: Do you know why Golf is only 18 holes? Well, it used to be 23 holes, but since a bottle of scotch has roughly 18 shots in it, they would run out of liquor after the 18th hole. So they shortened golf to just 18 holes to compensate.
Thats what my friend told me, but I have no idea if its true or not. Interesting either way,

I haven't played too much actual golf on TWPGA2010, but I've got to admit, the controls are phenomenal. Disc Golf is an absolute blast, it's just so realistic. I might have to go get a second WM+ soon. I've never played any actual golf (besides miniature), so there's definitely a learning process, but I'm not going back from the advanced controls. I'm really looking forward to Wii Sports Resort after playing this title.

Play through as many challenges as possible before you do your next tournament. Your create a character will appreciate the help for not destroying your resume before your ready to play with the big boys.
So that's what I did wrong...
After playing some exhibition stuff with friends, I jumped right into a tournament after I made my character and I got really annoyed with the fact that my guy was awful compared to everyone else. After roughing it through the first two tournaments and getting my stats and actual skill higher, I won the third tournament. I now like this game a lot more after I got the hang of it.
I have to agree with Brandogg. I'm looking forward to Wii Sports Resort a lot after playing this.
After playing some Disc Golf, I realized what bothered me about the regular game. It's a tiered sports game where you have better players and worse players due to statistics. Stuff like Wii Sports and Disc Golf don't have that barrier, so everyone has the same tools at the outset. There's no mode in Tiger Woods outside of Disc Golf that captures that Wii Sports feeling. The All Play mode basically plays the game for you and there's nothing between that and Standard, which is a pretty big gap. The controls are fantastic, but I still think the barrier for entry is too high.
I read some of the reviews and am I the only one bothered that 1UP referred to Disc Golf as Frolf/Frisbee Golf. As someone who also reviews games, it bothers me when outlets don't refer to the game as the game refers to itself. That'd be like referring to Sega Soccer Slam as Sega Football Slam because you're European or something.

Post by: Tanatoes on June 15, 2009, 06:48:59 PM
I finally nailed my swing today. In the end I had to turn up the sensitivity of the remote to improve my game.. strange that. And my Tiger '10 swing is NOT a good golf swing. For a perfect hit every time I have to separate my swing from my follow-through, so now I swing down hard, sort of jerk the remote where contact with the ball would be expected, then follow through as a separate movement. Sort of like I'm throwing down, then after hitting the ball jerking back up.
I still have crappy stats because I haven't completed all the challenges, but now that I'm birdying every hole (and eagling the par fives) everything should come together pretty quickly.
I missed an 8 foot putt for eagle on a par five earlier though.. man was I kicking myself for that.

Well still no dice from EA Support. They are worthless. I think it's a TCP issue with my campus ethernet. But EA can't even tell me which ports the one part of the game uses.
Of course since I can play Rock Band 2, also an EA game, and both manuals list what ports are used... well there's only one range of ports different between the two. So I talked with campus IT today and maybe we'll get something worked out later this week with those ports.
Meanwhile, I'll just keep on winning and probably be at 80% or higher on all stats by the time I get to play you guys. :rolleyes:

Good Morning America is on at work right now, and Tiger Woods is playing his latest game along with the cast of the show. They have a nice big screen up for the display, the cast all have their likeness crafted in game, they even have a little green playing feild set up on the floor to look like they're on the green.
Whats wrong with it all thought?
They played the PS3 version and are all standing around pressing buttons.

Tiger should have known to take the Wii version with M+, & EA should have known too. Shame on both of them. No real fault to Nintendo on this one, but Nintendo could have insisted they use their version.
My only guess is that the Wii version already sold soo much more than the PS360 version that they needed to hype that version on live TV.
And for the record, TW10 & GST are two sports games that are perfect for casuals players with an interest in the sport. Not only do the motion controls work, but its very pick up and play & designed to be enjoyed during short & long play periods. EA should be pimping both of these games on every TV show that would take them, as that is how they are gonna tap into that massive Blue Ocean market that Nintendo has made all other publishers aware of.

So I decided that my character was good enough to quit doing nothing but challenges and hop into the tournaments. I jumped into the London Invitational (day 1) & i killed everyone. They must think I put in a cheat code or something.
I got my 1st double eagle, just barely missed a hole in 1 twice, I got 6 trophy balls, set 4 new records, finished 13 under par and was 7 strokes ahead of the closest competitor.
Both times I missed the hole in 1 was because it bounced off the pin & I was jumping around my livingroom with excitement & disappointment. Tiger Woods on PS2 was never this fun (being drunk made it fun, but not this fun), but damn if I don't think I got Golf Elbow (is that a real affliction?). I'm lovin TW10 but I can't play more than a few challenges or a front/back 9 before something starts to hurt. Am I doing it wrong?

Yeah, I get really emotional and jump around celebrating for this. I went in and changed it so my on-screen character was the same way.
LOL. Me too. I find myself telling my on screen self to "Do that dance!!" as I do my own version of it too. We celebrate in synchronism.

I think I got something ridiculous, maybe a 40-60 footer. I hated the putting at first, but once I got the hang of it, I fell in love with it.

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on June 29, 2009, 12:26:43 PM
well my current best is 59ft, but I still believe my 63footer should have fell instead of practically hovering above the hole. I stomped on my carpet hoping that the vibration would make it fall, thats how close it was to falling in.

Post by: NWR_Neal on June 29, 2009, 02:05:03 PM
I've had that feeling before. The putting is freaking aces in that respect. That's also why I like the mechanic of applying spin to the ball. I usually be shaking it anyway being like "C'mon! C'mon!"

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on June 29, 2009, 02:14:02 PM
Have you experienced any input errors? especially while putting?
On more than one occasion, mostly during the same play session, I would have a putt that was inches from the hole and I would go to barely tap it in like I have done so many times before, for it to somehow register 90% and knock the ball off the green and most likely into the nearest sand trap. Moments like that are enough to make me quit and restart whatever I'm doing unless I have a tremendous lead.
Or when you set up your chip shot from the around the green very carefully, then you go for a practice swing or two, and then you goto tweak your grid positioning only to find that it has been reset and you have to start all over again. It a really minor issue, but kinda annoying at the same time.
Am I the only one to experience this?
My account of some problems I posted in the WiiSpeak thread (http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/forums/index.php?topic=26839.msg526647#msg526647)

Before I made my Character I actually made a 63 footer with tiger. I almost made a 62 footer today, but I just cruised by the hole about 3 inches from a direct line in shot. But I wasn't really feelin it today because my house was too damn hot, even with the AC & fan on.

Is it because I was in challenge mode? Or maybe the putt was actually on the fringe, and didn't count as a putt? ???
It showed up in course records as a 61-foot putt.

Short Game: I've been killing the putting game since the beginning.
Long Game: Landing on the fairway from the tee was never a problem either.
Mid Game: My main problem has always been going from the fairway to the green.
I've been working on that, and I can go into any tournament with confidence now, since I have seen vast improvement. My biggest issue has been swinging inbetween the 50%-80% range with accuracy. & going for the green while avoiding trees, sand traps, deep grass & water hazards. I got the hang of my slice and fade, so wind blowing side to side doesn't really affect me that much.
I got alot of stuff to work on, but I'm ready to do some online tournaments. The Hole in One still eludes me though. I've been so close soooo many times. inches to the hole, off the pin, hanging on the edge hoping for a breeze to knock it in. But no luck so far.
Title: Re: Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 w/ M+
Post by: Stele on July 10, 2009, 07:44:38 AM
Yeah I thought I had a hole in one last weekend... par 3, tee shot, goes to the heart beat thing, shows a weird % in the power, like 81, which I read about on gfaqs I think that was supposed to signal it was going in... and then it just rolled by, ended up 2 feet away. ???
I would agree iron approach shots are the toughest ones. Which also makes most par 3s a pain in the butt. >:(
Anyway I'm winning without much trouble in standard mode, and halfway through the 1st year now. Could do Q-school but I figure I'll keep playing the tournaments all the way through. Then as my stats are nearly maxed I guess it will be time to switch to advanced... :o

He also illustrates the fact that if you play, you could lose...
It's downright pathetic really: he was rich, successful, super popular, married to an extremely beautiful and appealing woman -- and yet decided to play around with skanky cocktail waitresses in vegas?! Christ man, if you're going to risk it all, at least show a modicum of taste in the process! AFAICT, he was basically just humping anything that moved...

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on December 09, 2009, 08:17:10 PM
Do you have any idea who Tiger was (in the social pecking order) before he was THE Tiger Woods?
I'm sure he's acting out on all that pent up sexual energy and the want to be promiscuous from when he was younger. I don't know how he got along with the ladies in his teens, but I'm sure he wasn't exactly the ladies man and was often way too busy with his golf practice to ever really learn to spit game at a female and was probably even ridiculed by them for his obsession with the sport.
I mean he is Tiger Tiger Woods Ya'll, and he get vag thrown at him all day every day no matter where he was going or coming from. Men are weak and can only say no so many times before you just stop fighting it, and it only takes slipping up once to slide all the way down that slope.
I haven't seen the women in question(I hear there was like 8 of them) and I'm not saying that Tiger didn't **** up, but I ain't mad at him. I'm sure you know that a large portion of men are able to separate love and sex, and just cause he satisfied certain urges outside of his marriage, doesn't mean he doesn't love his wife. That may be an unpopular opinion to take, but it's not like women don't do it too. Once again I agree it was wrong and he messed up big time, but at the same time, I don't see this affecting his career all that much.

I don't approve of any married person (famous or non-famous) cheating on their spouse, but I hope D_Average was just joking. Woods didn't do anything illegal and his infidelities have nothing to do with the game. Why what Woods does in his personal life would have anything to do with how you enjoy the game is beyond me.
BTW, bumping a 6 month old thread for a useless comment like that? I don't know if it's ban-worthy, but it's definitely frowned upon.

I thought about starting a new thread in the gen chat, but then I remembered how active this thread once was. I've seen a few others resurrected recently so why not, as it does relate to this game, at least from my angle. Personally, I've got nothing against what he did, its just sad really. Dude is definitely acting up on years of having little opportunities. He should of just stayed single, ain't no shame in that.
To tie it back to the game though, whatever your stance is, it will be different playing it point forward since he's the face of the franchise. There is a reason a single Tiger commercial hasn't aired since around Nov 27th. Its just going to be hard over the next year or so to look at him and not wonder why he risked so much for a Perkins waitress and a few others. And in un-Tiger like fashion, he was totally sloppy about it. Theres a reason why Arnold Palmer was known as "The King". Wasn't he taking notes?
I wonder how Tiger Woods 2011 is coming along. I'm sure the dev team was pretty shocked. My guess is they'll still working on the game as usual and may just remove him if things take an even worse turn over the next few years. In all likely hood though, he'll step back onto the links in Jan and start the ball moving the other way and we'll see another Tiger game next year. Should be interesting. Has EA said anything?

This whole thing will blow over in a couple weeks. Everyone that is not directly involved is just trying to lay low until the dust settles. This will not affect any sponsorships or endorsements as everyone will have forgotten about this after Tiger wins another World Tour or 2.
If anything I respect relate to him more for being a human being and less a Golfbot. It shows that he isn't perfect and is just like an other person.

This will not blow over in a few weeks. And they pulled every add of him on tv since thanksgiving. He cheated with at least 10 women, I hope he goes down in flames. But like Koby, he will be back on top the moment he wins another championchip.
EA said they support him in his troubled times and their relationship has not changed, so his games will keep coming out I assume.

They pulled every ad because they don't want to drag this controversy on any longer than it has to be. No need to throw yourself in the line of fire at this specific time. There have been no canceled contracts that I have heard of and it's unlikely to affect his career in any meaningful way. He will lose a few fans, but fans come and go.
I know your joking, but that is completely unrelated since his whole career is based on whether we the people buy his album or go see his concert. If we hate him as a person then we can actively choose to cut off his revenue stream, which happens to be our money exchanged for his presence or product.

I think if Tiger had "transgressed" with one or two girls, then people would be giving him a lot more slack -- "he's only human", "it's hard to live up to the image of perfection we've assigned to him", etc, etc.
However, as things have turned out, the sheer scale (as kotaku says "it appears he's slept with every porn star and cocktail waitress north of the Mexican border") makes it a lot harder for people to just dismiss; it paints him less as a flawed-but-still-basically-good-boy, and more as kind of a jerk. And given the general audience for golf games (older, a bit conservative), companies selling them really don't want a philandering jerk as their figurehead (it's not just his golf game that made him so popular).

You're obviously not paying attention. A quick google search for "Kobe ads" gave me more than three different American ads with big companies like Nike and Vitamin Water (I even searched on Chinese google). Some of the ads are even with Lebron James, another huge star that wouldn't sully his ad name with an unpopular player. I can certainly tell you he is in a ton of overseas marketing first hand as well.

Why does TAG Heuer, Gillette, Cadillac or Accenture need a black golfer as a spokesperson? Tiger's not likely to lose his Nike sponsorship, but there are lot of others that are likely to be on shaky ground.

A sponsorship doesn't count for much if there aren't any ads to go along with it.

There's a difference between having an affair and cheating on your spouse with over a dozen partners.
EDIT: OH HAY, LOOK AT THIS
Quote
As a result of his infidelity, Woods' U.S. popularity has plummeted according to a USA Today/Gallup poll taken in December 2009. The poll found that his "favorable" rating fell to 33 percent in December from 85 percent in June 2005, and 88 percent in 2000, and his "unfavorable" rating climbed to 57 percent in December from 8 percent in 2005.
Granted, this is public over-reaction, and the after things calm down his image will improve, but it will never return to where it once was. Once you lose the respect of the public at large it's not easy to get it back.
