SHOULD we feel sorry for super-successful American golfer Tiger Woods whose life has temporarily come crashing down around him?

Sorry, but no. His admitted indiscretions are all down to a man thinking with his trousers and being financially able to do something about it, in spite of having a loyal wife and children at home.

He may have stepped away from public life and competition for a while, but he’ll be back.

As another high-profile sportsman David Beckham found, public memory of such scandals eventually fades, and the talent is allowed to shine again.
