He can line up a putt. Can he put the accident behind him?
Press Association/AP ImagesThis headline in the Boston Herald sums things up nicely:
"Experts To Tiger Woods: Come Clean."
For his part, the world's best golfer says only he is to blame for the car accident outside his Florida home in the early morning hours of Friday. He's put a statement on his website saying "this is a private matter and I want to keep it that way," and that "the many false, unfounded and malicious rumors that are currently circulating about my family and me are irresponsible."
But the experts quoted in the Herald aren't the only ones saying Woods needs to do more to get ahead of this story and the many Internet-fueled rumors about what happened. As public relations expert Ron Sachs tells the Orlando Sentinel, he thinks that Woods:
-- Needs to talk to police. Three times so far, Woods has turned away efforts by Florida Highway Patrol investigators to speak with him about the accident.
-- Disclose "the real story and the basic facts."
-- Get on with his public schedule, including a charity tournament scheduled for this week.
Until something along those lines happens, it's likely Woods will be reading more headlines such as this one at FoxSports.com:
"The Key Tiger Question: Do You Believe Him?"
