As Tiger Woods prepares to play in Quail Hollow this week, the first non-major since his troubles began, we're finally reaching a natural closing point to this saga. So let's take a look at some of the major questions that still surround Tiger and the golf world. Today: what can Tiger Woods do to continue to repair his tattered image? We're all at the point of Tiger fatigue, aren't we? The guy has played exactly four days of competitive golf in the five months since his little accident, so that's left us with all kinds of time to speculate, pontificate and joke

It's really, really simple. All he has to do is, keep playing golf, and win a tourney every now and then. It will never go away fully, but so what, he is a golfer go out there and play. Tiger cares much more about his place in golf history then his contermporaries views and feelings on him, he never cared so much about being liked as he did being the best. He can still be the GOAT, which was what he wanted all along.

Usually in this five month strech he would have played maybe 12-16 days of competitive golf, so he didn't even miss that much time. Besides one of the nice thing about that sport is you can work on your game, even at a high level without actually playing in a professional event.

agreed...just get out there and play golf.

and just to add, if i were a peer of his on the pro circuit, i would be shivering in my shoes of a phenom like Tiger, with nothing to lose and the determination to focus on golf alone...

Very happy w/ TW's level-headed response to not making the cut this past weekend. He's seemed to have changed his demeanor for the better when playing poorly. I like him much better this way - I'm sure he'll recover his game. Hopefully he can continue to be mellow on the course whether he's playing good or bad.

He doesnt have to do anything. What happened is his personal business between his family and himself. It is none of our concern. He just needs to go out and do his job which is to play golf to the best of his abilities.

The best thing he can do is keep playing golf and win often. That would probably help to some degree, but it's not likely to totally repair his image.

I think he has a lot of work to do both on and off the "golf-course" and leave the other ......."course"(s) alone.
Repair his family life if it's possible and take care of his children for their futures sake.
He doesn't really need to go to work everyday.
