Reading a prepared statement in a closed room with a select group of pre-approved reporters who will not be given an opportunity to ask questions sounds like a control freak who hasn't learned a thing.

Who cares what he learns. Is he coming back for the masters? His personal life is none of my buisness even though the media is trying to force it to be my buisness. Him playing golf and winning championships is all I care about. Will there be a tiger woods 11 golf game?

The ever-irascable Phil Mushnick, legendary sport media critic of the New York Post, rips the media a new butthole for its bending over on Tiger. Well said.

Looks like the press conference is just starting and it's on the ctvolympics live feed.

Aside from his own wife, Tiger Woods does not owe anyone an explanation for what has transpired. This is his personal, private life...
What are people expecting here? A detailed account of all the freaky things he did with the pornstars? He will simply apologize for his "transgressions" and move on..
I'm not sure why the media feels entitled to such intimate information.

he does if he wants the sponsors to keep throwing money at him and the public to buy those products, nevermind if he wants his foundation to continue to receive the millions it does from the corporations that support it.

Nope...but they want to know that their support moving forward wont be for not. Right now, he is not a very good guy to most.

Elin deserves PRAISE. She never hit him. It's all his fault and he let everyone down.
Blah blah blah.

I'm sorry. I'm bad. I let you down. Wife and I are are talking about the hurt. I have caused my business partners worry.
Look at the good I do on the educational/charity front.
I hurt you all. I'm sorry.
Elin has never hit him that night or anyother night; angered at the rumours surrounding. She deserves praise not blame. Its my repeated irresponsible behaviour; I had affairs, cheated. Unacceptable and I am the only person to blame.
Convinced myself that normal rules didn't apply even though I knew what I was doing was wrong. I felt I was entitled; worked hard my whole life so should get all the temptations that go with it. I must make amends; no repeating mistakes. Live life of integrity. Achievements on golf course only part of setting example - character and decency are what really count.
Apologies to families for being a very poor role model. I need help; have been in inpatient therapy for 45 days. First steps. Every question and answer surrounding issue are between husband and wife. I don't use PEDs. This is false.
Protecting family - wrong for media to stake out wife, pursue mom, follow children. Leave wife and kids alone.
Will make myself a better person. Buddhism; raised it but has drifted away from it in the last years. Has lost track of what was taught. Will continue to receive help. Will leave for more treatment and therapy tomorrow. Need to regain his life balance and be centred - family most important.
I will return to golf one day, not sure when. Perhaps this year. I need to be more respective of the game. Apologizes to everyone. Asks everyone for their help - find room in your heart to one day believe in me again.

The one thing he did say that I do appreciate, was that he admitted he had a sense of entitlement that he simply didnt admit to until now.
he was somewhat genuine towards the end. Its a first step.

I'm amazed that he doesn't have Dan Quinn as his caddy. Now thats a guy that knows how to protect his meal ticket.

Is there a "How to show contrition" checklist? If there is I bet he had a lot of checks.
