Top 20 Things Tiger Shouldn't Say At His Press Conference
20) " I am deeply sorry for my irresponsible and selfish behavior I engaged in even though this is rehearsed. I thought the rules didn't apply to me. But they do. I strayed away from Buddhism and went straight into hard core Bootyism. " 19 ) " I am sorry that I was caught and now have to apologize to so many women that I will never have sex with."' 18) '' When hearing my caddy scream hole in one. I had no idea how man holes I could get into off of the course." 17 ) " Yes, I AM TIGER. I AM TIGER. I AM A SEX MACHINE. I AM A GIGOLO. I AM MAN. THEY ARE WOMEN. I AM A SEX ADDICT. I'M NOT ARROGANT. I'M TRYING TO APOLOGIZE. '' 16) '' I apologize to my wife and my fans. Because I had so many women on my TO DO LIST.'' 15) '' My 9 clubs are usually saved for the golfing tour and not for my head. Elin never hit me. Whenever I say foursome. I mean FOUR! '' 14) " It was never my intention to engage in any lascivious behavior with any Disney Characters." 13) I am sorry that I didn't know about the settings on my I-Phone before this happened to me." 12) '' I do believe that all fire hydrants should be safe for the fire departments and dogs to use.'' 11)'' Yes, I was sex-texting before I had my crash." 10) I don't need racial diversity training like people think. Yes, I know some of them were s****s and weren't black women. But somebody had to hit it. 9) I received no personal consultation from Congressman Joe Wilson and his white supremacy group Sons OF The Confederacy on the rules of lying. 8) '' I NEVER had sex with that woman!

Top 20 Reason No. 1
'' Look! The rumors about me being booked through out the summer at the Bunny Ranch in Las Vegas are false."
WHO CARES? Could switching to GEICO now save him 15% or more on his car insurance? Are his girlfriends also insured? WHAT? Is he crying?
This apology was wrong on SOOOOO many levels....it's ashame that it even occured.
Is this problem he has personal? Yes, and he needs to deal with it personally.
Is this in a large extent between him and his wife? Yes, and he needs to deal with it between him and his wife.
Does he owe the general public anything? Yes, he does because for his own personal gain he has placed his "T" on paraphanaleia and then placed himself out there in the most tailored way to adult and kids as a hero and a model. And when you have taken things from people's pockets, you owe them more than a "I'm sorry and leave me alone now go away" statement.
That works in a parent-child situation where the parent IS acting responsibly and the child is too young to understand. But he has not acted responsibly, so he has no right to treat the world as children of his.
Not alowing questions once again means he is not trying to "control" the situation, but rather he is trying to continue to play the world as "fools".
Outside of the personal questions, the man and wife questions, the how is it effecting his kids questions there are VERY REAL questions that he OWES the world answers too....here are some of them....
Tiger, you have held yourself up to the world as a role model....beyond "sorry" what very real things are you planning on doing to make restitution to those whose lives you effected beyond the personal?
Tiger, in light of the great wealth you've amassed through the imagery you've created, do you feel that people should ever trust you again?
Those are all VERY real questions that don't use the words "Elin" or "your children" or "domestic violence" in them. But all questions that involve "general public", "past adoring fans", and "people around the world" that have a right to be asked and a right to be answered.
You don't turn on the public engagement spicket in and out of your life when you are receiving personal gain to your pocket at their expense. It's part of what they are puchasing and part of what you are selling when you take that gain. It's sort of the "warranty" that goes with what they are buying. It's in the fine print. You owe them more than a dismissal. A dismissal is just poor customer service.
The mere fact that you held this at the PGA headquarters makes them part of this manipulation. Tiger trying to save his wealth empire, PGA trying to save their viewers that have miserably dropped off since this whole thing has taken place. It is just the beginning of the next "set up" of the people to be taken in. Since you all are in Florida...maybe you should have held this with a PT Barnum statue in back next to a plaque....you know the quote....."....is born every minute". Have compassion for the man people, but boycott the enterprise!!!!
Why do people think that Tiger Woods owes them an apology? He does not owe an apology to his fans or to the public. He owes an apology to his wife. The media also owes an apology to the Woods for invading their privacy and getting involved in their marital problems.
"...Of course he will be forgiven and like the iconic fallen hero before him, we will re-learn to appreciate his vast physical talent and continue to confuse it with the carefully chosen traits of integrity and responsibility that he referenced in his speech...."
Except this won't happen because his physical talent is pretty much gone. He has had too many injuries and he is never going to play at the level that he did a few years ago. Tiger taught a generation of young golfers how to treat Golf like professional football and they are out there doing it now, and they have surpassed him.
This is why this whole thing is so sad. Nobody would care about his womanizing if he had stopped doing it when he got married. He's at the time in his life and career where he should be laurel-resting and basking in his fanbase adoration, and enjoying his family. Now he doesen't have any of that. And he really doesen't have his golf game, either. All he really has is a fat bank account, with little chance of replenishing it.
I listened to part of his apology. It sounded like a disingenuous sales pitch. I think that if he truly is sorry, he would want to speak from his heart, and not from a prepared statement.
Listen - this guy has been annoyed having to talk to anyone - press - fans - other players. Everyone has been to his distain - this speecj proves he is still annoyed having to live here on earth with the rest of us mortals. He may be talented on the golf course - so what - how about being a father? how about a husband? - guess that doesn't mean as much as how perfectly his red Sunday shirt is pressed, his fingers are tapped, how much everyone kisses his back side. Hope his wife takes more than half while he is in his seat hut praying to Budda. Good luck PAL - hope the green jacket keeps you warm when your out in the cold.
