Total BS, I'm sure it was so easy for him to leave, I bet he wanted to leave to get away and figure out what different chick he was gonna ware out that week.
The Dude is a Joke and I have no sympathy for him what so ever.
I took the below blurb from his website in a segment he does called Ask Tiger.
My answer is it probably wont be that hard for you now Tiger, you screwed this up so bad that unless Elin is now just in it for the $$$ there is no repairing this.
Do you enjoy playing so far away from home? I can imagine that, now that you have children, it's got to be hard to be so far away from them.

You're exactly right, Rupert. Now, it's very difficult to leave Elin and the children, and I'm sure it's only going to get tougher. Once Sam and Charlie start school, it won't be easy to take them out of class for a week-long trip. A veteran pro once told them it's tough to leave them as babies, but once they ask you not to go, it breaks your heart. That's something I'll always remember.
