Today, many people, whether fans of golf or any other sport, as well as those who have been following the downward spiral that is Tiger Woods’ life these past three months, had the chance to watch for 14 minutes as the top golfer in the world apologized and went after those who have been bothering his family. A lot of sports television people have said they felt the apology was sincere and from...

The reaction came in fast and furious from all sorts of media outlets following Tiger Woods’ press conference this morning. What was the opinion of those in sports, the tabloids and the general media? The results are so far mixed. Some feel Tiger did what he had to do. Others felt Tiger left much more to be desired. Either way, it didn’t stop many from offering judgments via Twitter,...

Tiger Woods aced his press conference this morning. This recovery shot came from his heart and soul. It was a beautiful swing with perfect contact–better than the 6-iron out of the bunker over water onto the green at the 2000 Canadian Open. Maybe his father was right to an extent that even he did not comprehend? His greatness like most great golfers will come off the golf course not on...

This article was originally published here. We’ve had months to speculate, spread rumors, read tabloids, and talk trash. Tiger Woods did some bad, bad things and deserved every bit of criticism directed his way. Even he admitted that. He admitted he was selfish, irresponsible, and foolish. He admitted everything. He spoke in front of cameras, in front of a room full of people, and he came prepared....

A tinge of satire? Probably. The Special Theory of Relativity ranks among those few that sent all physicists scampering for cover. To say that time doesn’t “flow” equally for every person in this world (universe, to be precise) with or without a watch, would cause anyone to shake his head in frustration at the guy who said it. But gladly we had enough smart people at that time, to...

As I’m sure everybody knows by now in this age of instantaneous communications, Tiger Woods has addressed the media for the first time since his November 27 car accident. Over the course of the 15-minute apology, he addressed his wrongdoings, admitted to being in therapy, and left open the door for a return to golf within the year. “Every one of you has reason to be critical of me,”...

Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto, domo…. It’s over for now. Tiger Woods made his major act of contrition in Jacksonville Friday. He stood there, without much emotion, he read, and read some more and read some more. He was not at ease. He was robotic and obviously uncomfortable. Methodically, he covered all the bases. And he confirmed that he is who we thought he is. He admitted he has been a self-centered,...

I hadn’t planned on watching one second of the Tiger Woods press conference apology—but in all honesty, it did manage to find its way onto a TV near me. However, nothing changed the way I think about the whole situation—and there’s one reason why that is…puppeteering. Behind every legendary athlete there’s an individual (or team) of PR folks that treat the person like a complete puppet....

In a prepared statement, Tiger Woods faced a room of invited media, close friends and associates and sounded no different than he would after a golf tournament. What most of thought would be an emotion filled, tear dropped, press conference became a rehearsed speech. At one point, anger came out of Tiger’s voice when describing the rumors that his wife hit him with a golf club the night of his...

Oh, that crafty Tiger Woods. Only he can snap a 4-iron around a pine-tree while simultaneously carving a ball out from the woods, which was sitting on pine straw, and yet somehow save par at the difficult 11th hole at Augusta National in the 2007 Masters. And only he can conduct a staged press conference while simultaneously acting remorseful for what he put his family through, which was due to...
