Hattiesburg! If ever there was an incentive to want to "recover" from whatever ails him.

A question: Would he have donated $3 million prior to his need to rehab his image? Does it matter?

Tiger Woods will be speaking to a small group of friends, colleagues and close associates at 11:00 a.m. EST on Friday at the TPC Sawgrass Clubhouse in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla. Tiger plans to discuss his past and his future, and he plans to apologize for his behavior.

While Tiger feels that what happened is fundamentally a matter between him and his wife, he also recognizes that he has hurt and let down a lot of other people who were close to him. He also let down his fans. He wants to begin the process of making amends, and that's what he's going to discuss.

His remarks will be open to a press pool for live coverage. It is NOT a news conference

While Tiger feels that what happened is fundamentally a matter between him and his wife,

going on now

what, even with the midget?

Gloria Allred has one of Tiger Woods' alleged mistresses in tow, and is saying Tiger needs to call her and apologize to her for making her fall in love with him.

this is all so very stupid. let a ho be a ho. i feel bad for is kids and all (and to a lesser degree his wife), but screw all this rehab and apologizing to golf bs. respect your family and yourself, dude. get a divorce, see your kids as much as possible, and try not to catch teh herps.

his kids

get a divorce, see your kids as much as possible, and try not to catch teh herps.

Seriously.

gotta say, that was the most non-blame-shifting apology I've ever seen from a pro athlete. also, I liked the "I need to get back to my Buddhist faith" and not "my Christian faith".

haha yeah, waiting on all the wingnut commentary on that one

Full video here: http://www.cnn.com

i thought he did pretty well.

kinda robotic but i sorta get the vibe he is just kinda dull and uncomfortable with public speaking in general....

but yeah the text didn't really duck anything i thought.

I was at the gym this morning and was furious to see this fool walk out after the ABC NEWS SPECIAL REPORT banner popped up like some serious shit went down.

My dad got misty at this, which kind of blows my mind.

Tiger Woods will be speaking to a small group of friends, colleagues and close associates

No one find this a really odd set up? That small group of close associates and family, and tv companies broadcasting it all? That's some really weird PR.

Also, don't think his 'friends at Accenture' (or indeed fellow pros) were too pleased at him scheduling this during the WGC Match Play.

listening to this is kind of wow btw

like this is the most self-aware "my bad" press conference ever

I just got to the "this is because I stopped being a Buddhist" section and holy shit

Tightly Controlled Televised Statement

9.0 - Best New Apology

I didn't and don't want to give this guy more credit than he's due but I think Dan's hearing what I was hearing. Actual contrition, what a concept. It's worth hearing instead of just reading a transcript.

I don't know if I was more impressed with "going back to Buddhism will make me a better person" or "despite this, my family is still off limits, assholes"

in the office we were wondering if he chose today to apologize because all the late night shows + nbc are on hiatus right now (except ferguson and kimmel)

think it was cuz hes due back in rehab tomorrow iirc. plus yea, think accenture dropped him & he may want 2 stick it 2 them and steal attn from their tourney (tho i dont really buy that)

XP - and Ferguson doesn't tape a show on Fridays

why is it that when celebs get contrite and talk about finding god or whatever i'm like "you're so full of shit" but when Tiger talks about going back to Buddhism i'm all like awww

'Cause it will make Britt Hume squirm?

cuz buddhism is a less full of shit religion than christianity?

cuz we are conditioned to believe Buddhism is a less full of shit religion than Christianity, even though it's not

so i'm the only one not really feeling this?

Less that I'm not feeling it than not giving a shit.

there is no salvation outside of scientology

Oh look! A flying pig!

'Cause it will make Britt Hume squirm?

^^pretty much this

but yeah, otherwise keep all this shit to yourself. you're still richer than balls, with or without Accenture. and you still slay on the golf course. you're just not really cut out for marriage imho.

cuz we are conditioned to believe Buddhism is a less full of shit religion than Christianity, even though it's not

^^this. i <3 buddhism but one of the best books on it i've read thus far (Zen At War) basically puts the lie to the idea that it is somehow less full of shit than any other spiritual practice

i dunno... the japanese context/syncretism with warrior nobility is pretty unique and not really enough to make the case imo. still may or may not be true, but Buddhism does seem fundamentally less well-suited to command/control/holy war.

lol between this and the other thread not to be named i'm convinced a bunch of dumb jocks took over all of your bodies...people other than retarded sportwriters bought this BS?

this was one of the worst press conferences i've ever seen

it's like he's NEVER spoke in public before

i kinda buy the "he's not a great public speaker" argument but this was so painful to watch, idk if it was "insincere" as much as it was just so clueless..."self aware" nowhere near the money

ha xp
