He says "There has never been any domestic violence in their relationship". He sounded pretty pissed off about people saying she attacked him.

He pretty much decided who was there as far as press.

Everyone who was invited and attended was patted down and searched for wires or any recording devices.

Watch live here.
Or just turn on any other damn channel on the TV. This thing is on more channels than a freakin' State Of The Union address by the President!

Searched for wires or any recording devices? Why? It's being shown live everywhere.

Play golf or don't.

I don't give a shit about your personal life.

Pretty impressive speech. Seems to be coming from the heart. Time will tell.

This is really put on.

I would love to hear what he really has to say instead of a prepared speech and sounding full of crap.

I was thinking quite the opposite.

To me, it did seem genuine. Notice I did say time will tell.

Seemed genuine to me too. He spoke about "entitlement" He felt he deserved to get what he wanted. Right there sais alot. That is what I have been saying all along. He got so powerful he couldn't see past himself. He controls everything. Tiger has people but Tiger does and sais what Tiger wants to do and say. I would bet he had people telling him he better be careful and he didn't listen because he was Tiger Woods. Sure he is sorry he got caught but I also think he is sorry he did what he did. Now it is time to take care of what he needs to take care of so he can get back to being Tiger.

I still want to be a fan of Tiger Woods the golfer and someday I might be a fan of Tiger Woods the man but that will take a lot longer. Actions speak louder then words. What I as a fan want from Tiger is to make things right with himself and his family.

That would have been less awkward if he bent a Perkins waitress over the podium and railed her from behind for the 15 minutes.

I buy what he said, but the manufactured setting and the length of time it took to come out hurts his credibility a lot.

I like the fact he admitted to having all of these affairs and he did it because he thought he could get away with it. That's pretty honest IMO. I was half expecting him to come up with some theory that he developed an addiction due to depression or something.

I will say I did not like the format of the apology but I don't think he could have just walked in unprepared and shoot from the hip. If he walked in the room and said, "Yeah I slept with them all because I thought I could get away with it" he would have came across as an arrogant SOB (which he is). Being prepared softens that.

No mention about all these sluts that swallowed the loads of this married guy. A lot of women are pigs..and are never held accountable for their actions.

It would have been a lot better if Tiger rattled off all of their names, facebook accounts, email addresses and their cell phone numbers.

There should be accountability for these pigs for sucking billionnaire cock and wrecking marriages for it.

I disagree.

I've always thought that when a single person sleeps with a married person, it's the married person that's the scumbag.

If some married chick throws herself at me, and she's attractive and I'm single, it's ON. I didn't take any vows to anyone -- SHE did. I didn't decide to limit myself to one sexual partner -- SHE did. I'm not obligated to make her marriage work -- SHE is.

Tiger Woods is the guy who screwed around on his wife. He's the bad guy in all this. Yes, it's much harder when you're rich, powerful, famous, and good-looking, because chicks just throw themselves at you, but that's why they're called VOWS. He's not a victim. If he wanted to screw a bunch of different women, he could have stayed single, and no one would have had anything to say about it.

As for the press conference... I didn't watch, and I couldn't care less. He didn't do anything criminal; this is just his personal life. All I care about is when he comes back to the PGA. And even before this, I was tired of hearing about Tiger Woods.
