Arnold Palmer has a Suggestion for Tiger Woods....

Golfing legend and this week tournament host Arnold Palmer had some advice today for on Eldrick "Tiger" Woods and his attempts to re-enter the golf world. The short version "Open Up". Let down your guard a bit and be real.

Yes, Tiger agreed to do 2 "Speed Interviews" and they were a bit more revealing than the very nervous sounding Tiger did last month reading his "Statement". But the reaction to those interviews while generally positive for the people conducting them, didn't nor were they able to go into detail.

Said Palmer who is absolutely beloved by golf fans because he was very up front and didn't hide from his fans "It's up to him to do and say whatever he feels he needs to do to redeem the situation, put it in the proper place". He added "My opinion, as I said I was going to keep to myself. But I suppose the best thing he could do would be open up and just let you guys shoot at him. And that's just my thought".

We have been somewhat vocal on the subject here at the OSG Satellite HQ. We do agree to an extent with the King, but really, think about it. If Tiger so chooses, he really doesn't have to explain himself to anyone but his family and friends. Is what he did wrong? Sure it is. But he did what elite athletes do. Is the general public that pissed off at Tiger? I'm starting to believe no. Have they made him a punchline? Sure, that's what happens in these circumstances. But think about this for a minute. When did it become more about the personal lives? Does it matter what the athlete does on his own time? Do you need to know? Do you have to tell a reporter about what you do when you aren't at work? Think about that one for a minute....
