Tiger Woods does not live in a vacuum. He is a celebrity with little to no privacy. He also has young children. Whether the world approves of his actions or not is of no consequence, but I hope his children\'s perspective will have some bearing on his future behavior. He cannot undo the past and the time will come when his kids learn the painful details of their parents\' split. I don\'t give a damn about Woods or his golf game. I reserve my sympathy for his children.

I think the biggest impact on his children following the divorce will be a congenial relationship between their parents. Tiger did the right thing: joint custody and an extremely generous financial settlement to Elin. It is his life, but I actually think that Tiger entering a monogamous relationship now will make it more difficult to establish the new relationship with Elin and the kids because it brings another party into the discussion. Elin may be jealous. The new person may be jealous. Probably, the best thing he can do is remain single for a while and keep his romantic/sex life separate from Elin and the kids and that is easier if he does not have commitments to someone else, at least for awhile. Then he can still spend Christmas morning with Elin and the kids, for example. Sure the press will show photos of him "out with someone," but the kids will not read the tabloids for a long time. By then the press will be bored. He isn\'t married anymore so it is not a "story" unless the person he dates is famous. Single and divorced sports and movie stars are constantly dating people. It is a non-event. It is life. Again, it is HIS life and I wish him and his family well.
