He needs to control his mouth better in front of the TV cameras and adoring fans.
He has to learn to stay competitive, but keep his anger more controlled. He is now in his 30's and has gone through 10+ years of intense scrutiny. He knows better. It is unfair, but he is held to a higher standard.

I disagree with him being held to a higher standard in respect to morality. His golf yes, but not morality issues. He's a competitive person just like many of us and most all the other pros. I can't remember seeing one pro I haven't seen curse. Maybe some don't swing their clubs at the ground or throw them at a bag or whatever someone thinks might be poor manners but I've seen Jack toss clubs angrily and swear as I've seen with most others. Tiger just has the camera on him most of the time. I don't mind him showing competitive fire because he is human.
