[Banedon]

Tiger to make a public apology at a press conference on Friday. No questions, just a statement/apology.

you beat me to it

[E.J.]

See this is what I don't understand. Why does he need to apologize publicly? He didn't do anything illegal. He's a sex fiend. Who gives a [expletive]?

He makes his money based off his image. He doesn't need to do anything. But if he wants to continue the life of a professional golfer with tens of millions of dollars a year in non-golf tournament winnings, he should strongly consider doing something.

[Soul]

Yeah, this isn't really about the legality of his behavior.

[biittner77]

Do you think he'll be able to recover the way Kobe Bryant did? Kobe was cleared of the charges but he did at least cheat on his wife. Was what Tiger did worse? He got caught more times but nobody is accusing him of rape.

He's probably lost some people forever, but if he returns to dominate he will be more or less where he was before in terms of awe of his ability and earning power.

The difference is that there is much more detail about Tiger's "daliances" is out than there was with Kobe though. The number of women, the possible porn star pregnancies, and other lurid details that have come out are going to have an affect.

 

It's not that it's worse...it's just that there more stuff out there...it just doesn't seem to end.

 

Wait till people start yelling stuff at him on the course. Tiger's gonna lose his cool for sure.

[Guest]

Haha. Yeah. Instead of yelling "get in the hole" after his par 5 tee shot, they'll be yelling "crawl back into your hole" just prior to his tee shot.

 

Good times!

They'll still be talking about getting in the hole.

The Kobe Bryant police report on Smoking Gun is always a good read if yoo want more detail.

[Soul]

If he comes back and wins, people will find a way to like him again. They'll reconcile it in their minds.

 

If he can't stop being a male whore, and keeps getting caught, and can't win tournaments......then he's going to fade away as a cautionary tale.

[biittner77]

The PGA is not going to allow people to heckle Tiger Woods. He's way too important to golf. The PGA Tour will take him back and he will win. There's not much doubt about that. The real question is will he ever get his endorsements back?

 

Maybe he could do an Enzyte ad.

What are they going to do? People are gonna heckle him. Yeah, they'll get ejected, but heckling is gonna happen.

And it only takes one well-timed heckle to make it over the airwaves. Sure they won't allow people to chant "whore monger" like they chant "steroids" at a baseball game, but you can easily get away with being a little cruel. And people definitely will.

Tiger's statement supposedly has somehow leaked:

 

Directly to the point there is no one to blame but me for the mess I have put my wife and family through. I accept total and complete responsibility. My wife and I have been trying to work things out but sadly things have not worked out.

 

Again all the blame is upon me. We have decided to live apart with me having mutually agreed upon times when I can be with our children. I know that the world wants all the details of what transpired in our marriage but that is between my wife and I and will remain that way. I have to get on my life and that means playing golf again.

 

I have contacted The Masters and have informed them that my plan is to resume The Masters and they have said that they would welcome me with open arms. For that I am most grateful for I deserve nothing.

 

Finally I want to thank all my fans around the world for standing by me when I let you down horribly. I failed all of you about as badly as a person can. I apologize to everyone of you. I promise all of you that you will see a new Tiger Woods, a better Tiger Woods and I will not let you down.

 

Now I'd like, by the grace of God and with His help, to get back to what I do best and that is playing golf. See you all at The Masters. God Bless you all. Tiger Woods

 

I'm not sure I'm buying that though...cuz why would you sign a read statement? And why would he not deserve to play at the Masters?

[SpongeWorthy]

That sounds like it was written by someone who got caught cheating on his high school girlfriend. I don't buy it.

[Soul]

I love the title of this thread. It's so unassuming. Not a hint of what this thing was going to eventually turn into for Tiger.

I'd also assume that he would have proof-read the statement:

...

I apologize to everyone of you.

Yeah, that's fake.

[Soul]

That's horribly written. If it is legit, someone needs to let another person handle the speech writing duties.

[17 Seconds]

i knew it was fake before i even read it

Listening to the Score this morning, there was a sequence in which callers, if given the chance to ask Tiger one question, what would it be? Heard one fellow ask why 32 mistresses Tiger? Given you're sex addict and your resources don't you believe having only 32 mistresses is slacking?

[Wilson A2000]

On the radio I heard, Tiger, why wasn't 18 holes enough for you?

[Banedon]

Doesn't know when he'll return. That might be the only thing people were wanting to hear out of this thing.

[Wilson A2000]

He was initially emotional, more than I thought. I didn't think he would miss the Masters, but I think he might now.
