Does anyone believe this? I think he's sorry he got caught.

(CNN) -- When Tiger Woods invoked his religious faith during his public apology on Friday, he readily acknowledged that a lot of people would be surprised.

"People probably don't realize it," he said, "but I was raised a Buddhist, and I actively practiced my faith from childhood until I drifted away from it in recent years."

But Woods said his Buddhist faith would be a key part of his quest to put his life back together after revelations of his marital infidelity, which he admitted for the first time. Buddhist experts said Woods' summation of the tradition's beliefs was accurate -- and that his remarks likely will bring more attention to the faith in a week when its highest profile leader, the Dalai Lama, is visiting the United States.

I didn't listen to his TV apology but then his personal life is really none of my business.

I only posted it because we needed posts, to be honest. He is an idiot.

I don't know if I would call him an idiot. Foolish, yeah, big time.

He has done an awful lot of damage, and knew what he was doing was wrong to begin with. That's why I said he was an idiot. He has a wife and family and a very public career.
What was the guy thinking?

lol clearly he was thinking with the wrong head.. hard to imagine blowing an awesome carrer and marriage to a smokin' hot woman.. yeah idiot for sure

He knew better. He knew what he had. And he got caught at it -- he didn't come forward with this before he got caught. Now he's sorry....yeah. Let's see.

Whether you like Tiger or not, whether you understand his commitment to the path he has chosen or not it still took a tremendous amout of courage to stand up and make statements as he did on Friday. I commend him and wish him well. Deep down inside of us all we want happiness. Each and every one of us knows what it takes to make ourselves and others happy and peaceful.

To fix a situation you can not go back and undo what's been done. You need only find the path you strayed from and get back on it. Tiger is right, we only have to "believe" in him for the path he is now taking, not forgive him for the path he was on.
