I was in a public place when the Tiger Woods address came on TV on Friday. I had missed it but the announcers were doing a wrap-up of the event. Then I heard the words that captured my attention. The TV announcer said, “Tiger should have apologized to us long before this.”

I looked at the woman behind the counter and asked her if Tiger Woods owed her an apology. She said, “Honey, I’m 67 years old and they were doin’ that kind of stuff long before I was thought of and will be doin’ it long after I’m gone. Ain’t nobody’s business.”

Amen!

The only apologies that I believe are necessary are to his wife, his family, his business associates and to me. The rest is PR.

I’ve watched Tiger play golf and I’ve seen many of his press conferences since he came on the pro tour in 1996, and there was a marked difference when I saw the replay of this address. His confident, assured demeanor was absent and he appeared sincere in his remarks. I felt for him.

I was interested in what he had to say but as hard as I listened, I didn’t hear his apology to me.

I thought for sure he would have included me but he left me disappointed.

I envy the other people who received his heartfelt sorrow and can only hope that my apology is forthcoming.

You hate to tell people what to put in their apology because when they say what you just spoon fed them it doesn’t ring true. But in Tiger’s case I’m going to make an exception. Here’s the apology I want:

“John, I apologize for taking excitement away from your Sundays when you normally follow me on the back nine and I will try and make it up to you when I come back after I put my life back in order.”

That’s the apology I want. Anything else, “Ain’t nobody’s business.”

All the best,

John
