You don't honestly believe that do you?
Tyson is a pariah, a convicted rapist who has been accused of beating his wife. The guy is bankrupt and can barely make a living, he is generally considered to be a freak show and really only gets paid when he acts as such.
Are you seriously arguing that could be the end result for Tiger? Sure he's going to take a big hit here, but he's not going to become a person that people will shun like the plague simply because he screwed around on his wife.
If you're just talking about the overshadowing of sporting accomplishments I think you're still going a bit overboard. Tyson's whole legacy involved violence, it's almost impossible to talk about his in ring violence without thinking about his personal life violence. Tiger's legacy and his indiscretions don't share that parallel, in 20 years you can tell Tiger's story without this period dominating it (assuming he comes back and plays like he did). With Tyson violence and craziness runs throughout the entire story.
