I think pre-Elin's-driver-to-the-windshield Tiger did have, for him, a mind that seemed to be straight, in an ultra-compartmentalized way.  Maybe even the discipline required to keep the various parts of his life separate somehow fed into his focus on the golf course.  The problem came when that driver-through-the-window totally destroyed those little walls in Tiger's mind/life, and everything came crashing down.

Even before his drama, Tiger was perhaps the single most compelling figure in sports, IMO.  The fall from grace has, in some sense, made his story more compelling, whether one is pulling for him to get it back together, or is rooting against him.  Somehow, I still find myself in the pro-Tiger comeback camp.

I suppose I'm just compartmentalizing his golf icon status from his personal louse status.
