If Tiger behaves himself and wins like he used to, he'll be even bigger than he was before and ironically it'll be due to this scandal. With the possible exception of the POTUS, no one has been getting more press than Tiger. His name recognition is bigger than ever and in the future if winning is again associated with his name instead of chicks, nearly everyone will be back on the bandwagon. Most people realize that sports heroes aren't the same thing as spiritual leaders. They're athletes, not saints.

Of course, prior to that the Internet was out of reach for most folks, and to access Usenet you had to at least have enough of a clue to navigate a UNIX commandline. It was great.
