So what is the purpose of the media releasing text messages? Is it the pursuit of the truth? Is he being investigated for a crime? We already know he cheated on his wife. Its nothing more than to release more to grab the attention of a public that has an insatiable thirst for gossip. These text messages are not news, they do nothing other than further inflame the situation and cause more embarrassment to those involved. So we can sit here and point fingers at Tiger all day long, but I think the way this story has continued to unfold makes me more disappointed in society than in a golfer I don't know.
