He's not only accountable to his golf game. His image is worth just as much or more.

In a perfect world I'd agree that his private life should be kept private. Unfortunately the real world is far too nosy for that.
His sponsors pay him because he is the worlds best golfer. This isn't going to change that at all. Especially since he is taking the smart route and keeping things private. Just because he's in the publice eye doesn't mean we have a right to know everything about his personal life (despite what TMZ might have you believe). If he doesn't want to talk no one can make him. Nuff respect. Most imbecil celebrities would setup a one on one with Oprah and get a good amount of publicity out of it.
