Tiger has often been accused of never caring about his fans, and this morning was no different if you ask me. The invite-only press event where the troubled golf legend took center stage -- allowing no questions from the media -- will do nothing to help him recover from his infidelity scandal."Tiger and his team are so arrogant. They think that if they hide their head in the sand all this drama will go away. It won't," said one insider about the golfer's apology, which seemed targeted at his sponsors and not his fans.
"His preaching speech about how much he does for charity and focusing on his wife and kids will not make anyone forget that the Tiger we thought we knew wasn't the real Tiger," an insider tells me.
And while Tiger admitted during the press conference that he mistakenly played by different rules than everyone else, he was doing just that once again by not letting people ask questions and having it be a true press conference. Even the President takes questions from the media, Mr. Woods, whether he wants to or not. Or, maybe he's just waiting for the questions to come from Barbara Walters in a fancy prime-time interview instead.

You know what they say, "Once a cheat, always a cheat", Bet he does it again!

NOT once a cheat, always a cheat. You cast stones over your shoulder so easily people. This world is so mean and cruel at times. Always looking for people to fail. DRAMA QUEENS to the max.
Leave Horney the Tiger alone! All the chicks he's banged says he's Grrrrreat!! Although, all by himself he is not part of a ballanced diet. FOOD ALERGY WARNING: Product processed in a facility where nuts maybe present.
People crack me up. They are all in an uproar because they weren't given the opportunity to get all the sordid details. It's none of our business. He's human, he made mistakes, and then he had to make an apology to the entire world. Some of you people won't be happy unless he is given the death penalty. Tiger, I hope your wife and family forgives you. But it's certainly none of my business.
I love it. Most of you folks say forgive and forget, he did nothing wrong, he did only what all men do...etc. Every other public figure, (and make no mistake Woods is a public figure) gets ripped apart for similar, but significantly less behavior. Talk about your double standards! I wonder why......yeah right. As much money as people pay Woods they have right to expect just about anything they want from this guy.
HE DID NOT MAKE A "MISTAKE". THAT IS TAKING THE EASY WAY OUT AND GIVING HIM WAY TOO MUCH CREDIT FOR BEING HUMAN. A "MISTAKE" IS WHEN YOU DO SOMETHING UNINTENTIONALLY, EG: ADDING 2 + 2 AND GETTING 5. HE MAD A CONSCIOUS DECISION TO BE AN A-HOLE AND CHEAT ON HIS WIFE. HE IS AN ADULT AND IS HELD TO A HIGHER STANDARD FOR THE DECISIONS HE MAKES, AND THEY WERE HIS DECISIONS, NOT MISTAKES. ONCE YOU MAKE A "MISTAKE" YOU LEARN FROM IT AND DON'T DO IT AGAIN.
HE IS NOT A SEX ADDICT. A SEX ADDICT WILL HOSE ANYTHING, ANYTIME. HE HOSED WHITE, BLONDE WOMEN. THIS IS NOT AN "ADDICTION" IT IS A PREFENCE. AND ALL OF THE WOMEN OUT THERE WHO ARE SUPPORTING HIM SHOULD BE ASHAMED AS WELL AS THE MEN WHO STILL THINKS HE IS AN IDOL FOR DOING IT.
PEOPLE CHANGE! I suppose you think you are perfect and that you have never sinned? Got news for you...you are a hypocrite!
I don't think he's sorry. He just wants to rub up against Oprah Winfrey to get some credibility. He can't say he's sorry because he isn't sorry. He liked they way things were going back then.

I don't see what the big deal is. People keep saying "he's not the Tiger we thought we knew", none of us personally know Tiger Woods. And people like him b/c he plays golf. His personal life is nobody else's business. The issue of infidelity is between he and his wife and kids. The apology needs to go directly to them, for they are the ones suffering the most. The fans aren't suffering anything because of his actions. yeah, you may not be watching him swing a golf club for a while, but hey, no one loses oxygen over that. So I think ppl should get over it and stop feeling like they reserve the right to pry into people's personal life. He's an athlete, and ppl like him for golf, that's pretty much it. So to everyone out there who is hating on Tiger, I say get over it!!!!

BRAVO! Well said! He needs to be privately working with the only people that matter. His wife, his children and his immediate family. The public needs to butt out and let them move on in whatever direction is best for them. It's done. Let it go, and find another icon.
I agree with you Steph. People seem to think that just b/c these someone;s famous that makes them less suseptable to temptation and trials. We can care less about our neighbor who cheats on their spouse, yet we get all up in arms over someone we've never met. I undertsand he was an "image" in the public eye- but it's our misconception for putting him to such a standard as being faultless and pure. He doesn't owe the public anything! He and his wife need to work out their issues in private- just like any other married couple! He is a HUMAN, enough said.
Well said, Steph.
steph it sounds like you been spreading the pink for Tiger too?
Well said Steph. I tottally agree.
Tiger Woods owes me nothing, I am not married to him & he did not cheat on me. Famous or not, he is human.
