I think so far he has been very open, honest and has came off as far more genuine than he did in his first public interview. He didn't have anything pre-prepared, and he seems like hes answering every question the media has asked him very openly and making direct eye contact, and not making any excuses.
Thoughts?

I really think getting to play golf has eased his mind a ton. It will be nothing but good for him to get back to playing every week.

^He says that people were pretty supportive and clapped and/or cheered for him when he came out...now if that's true I'm not sure, I didn't see it. But that's what he said.

According to ESPN, he acknowledged the crowd at every opportunity, thanking them and conversing with them. They said the crowd was largely supportive of him Freddy, and Furyk (he played with those two guys).
Pretty good PC actually. The media didn't lay the weapons down, and they pretty much addressed all questions people might have.
It will be interesting to see if he is able to control his negative outbursts, and if it will limit his positive outbursts as he says it will.

Was watching the Indians during the PC. Did the media ask tuff questions?

He never claimed that addiction caused his actions either. He said that he takes responsibility, and that his problems were caused by his poor actions and decisions, and getting away from the values that his parents taught him.

Yes, very tough questions. Everything from PED questions to questions about every little thing that happened.

I think Tiger's PC went well. I heard he requested to reenact this classic scene from the Police Academy which was frowned upon by his handlers.

I thought the five minute interview and the earlier PC were bogus, but Tiger seemed much more open and available today. He answered all of the questions, was talking to the gallery, we'll see if this keeps up in the future.

I want him to win this weekend. He messed up, hasn't made excuses and is trying to fix his life. I feel bad for Elin but as for what happens in his personal life is none of my concern. His wife, family and god is who he needs to apologize too I just want him to play and win. What matters now is how he lives from here on out.

Tiger was very open and honest yesterday, I was very impressed unlike his previous interviews.
He won all those tournaments while leading a double life, imagine how bad he'll demolish guys with 100% focus on golf.
