***official tiger woods presser thread***

The point I was making is that has nothing to do with what this was supposed to be about. The media's mistakes are a discussion for another time and place. This was supposed to be an apology, not a blame game.

I would just say that it is never ok in my book to ever go after someones children no matter what the parent does. That was the one thing in the whole press conf that I actually agreed with Tiger about. Kids should always be off limits and people that go after them are some of the lowest scum on the earth. I think Tiger has the right at anytime to go after people that are going after his kids. I was glad to hear Tiger tell people to leave his kids alone.

...and that will never change.

Why? How do you know?

10 years from now he will have won like a dozen more majors and we all will have forgotten about this. but right now he is a tool

I am not so sure about that. You don't mess with the recipe for success. Tiger was winning tournaments at will, majors, etc... while he was banging every chick he could get his hands on. Take that away and I think his golf game suffers tremendously. The guy looks like GMAC now.... totally defeated. His golf game may never be the same again.

The speech was obviously written by him and was all over the place as he kept thinking of new things and adding them, instead of keeping things in order and rewriting.
His legal team had to edit to keep him from getting specific and admitting things that could be later used against him in a law suit, or a divorce proceeding.
This speech in a way sounded like what would be required as part of a 12 step program, and as such made me very uncomfortable, and might be why many of you think of it as a "tool" or phony. That is one of the requirements to face up to the wrongs and admit to the wrongs .
A very hard place to be put in, even worse in public on national t v!

Seemed like a State of the Union address.

He chose not to say:" I came, I saw, I conquered."

I've not seen him recently w/o his hat. Looks like he could get a sponsership with Rogaine or Hair Club for men.

Pretty much any Golfer or Baseball player. unfortunate side effect of wearing hats so often. You have to choose between hair loss, or skin cancer.

Not a lot of people are shocked but it was definitley the wrong way to go about it. He is not the president of the united states, he's a golfer. Get up there speak from the heart and apologize for what you did if you genuinely are sorry. You don't need a prepared speech for that.

It will be Kobe Bryant 2.0. It will be a huge deal for a while, he will start playing well again, win alot, wife will forgive him, everyone will forget.

Or being a middle-age man?

Halo comment: Too much heat under the hat or too many male hormones at work.

He wants the media to stop following his family....sorry dude....you accepted 100 million from nike...you asked for it.

Agreed 100%. He sold out.. end of story. Got to take the bad with the good.

He doesn't owe an apology to anyone but his family, because they are the ones he hurt.

Anyone who thinks he owes an apology to his fans and/or fellow golfers is crazy.
