Conflict of Interest in Golf

Every sports reporter looks past some big sports stories every time it threatens to ruin the sports popularity. This happens a lot in golf. For example this happened with Rory McIlroy with his drunk driving incident, and most common issue is Tiger Woods. Tiger Woods was caught with the affairs, but the story did not come out immediately, it was delayed to save the sports popularity. If sports reporters ruin and expose the biggest stars career, the sport is just asking to struggle. The PGA tour is not the same without Tiger Woods. Also Tiger has been accused of cheating many times on the course. Tiger has been accused of moving his ball and improving his lie. No sports reporter has ever really been serious of getting Tiger banned or publicized for his cheating. I know he has been accused for cheating, but no one wants the star of the game to get in trouble. The popularity of the sport would decline if Tiger was exposed for everything he does. To maintain the sport and keep the sport alive, the main thing to do is keep the stars active and have them compete on regular weekly basis.
