The best thing for Tiger Woods right now is to come clean: Describe what happened and what led up to his SUV accident in the early morning hours on Friday, Nov. 27.

It’s also the saddest thing.

Why should we care where he was going at 2:25 a.m., as many news reports — including print, Web posts and broadcasts — wonder? Maybe he was on a diaper run. Maybe he was getting out of the house to avoid an argument. Maybe he was geeked about the Black Friday sales.

Either way, not my business.

Woods has apparently cooperated with authorities as much as the law requires, and so far, it doesn’t appear he broke any laws.

Good by me.

That Woods isn’t playing in his golf tournament this weekend is news we can use.

Helicopters hovering over Woods’ house, showing us photos of a smashed fire hydrant and damaged tree are a little much.

The incident/accident has even spawned Web sites devoted exclusively to the topic.

And still, even though it will bring more hype and scrutiny to his life, Woods should tell the world what happened.

Is he having an affair? Couldn’t care less. But it would take some heat — and maybe some paparazzi — off his back. The public is rather forgiving of celebrities who come clean and confess.

How do you know what's best for him? Are you his parent? His friend? His spouse? What if i said what was best for you? You're just on board with the rest of the media trying to jump on the bandwagon b/c he showed he was human.

You said it's not your business, so why are you commenting on what he should do? I think you should stop writing. How's that?
