VIDEO: Tiger Woods First One-on-One Interviews
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Sports, Videos,
Operation “Repair Tiger’s Image” just entered its next phase.
Nearly a month after addressing the public for the very first time, Tiger Woods granted his first one-on-one interviews. Tonight, both ESPN’s Tom Rinaldi and the Golf Channel’s Kelly Tilghman aired their exclusive chats with the embattled golfer.
During both interviews, Woods, who intends to make his comeback during next month’s Masters golf tournament, made references to his 45-day stint in rehab. Although he declined to specify what he was receiving treatment for, he did say that he was forced to take a “brutal” look at himself. Asked why he never sought help earlier, Woods stated: “Well, I didn’t know I was that bad. I didn’t know that I was that bad.” (Uh, how many women do you have to sleep with before it’s considered “bad”?)

Missed the (scripted) apology heard around the country today? Well, here’s your chance to watch all 13.5 minutes of it.
During Tiger Woods’ highly-controlled speech, the golfer addressed a number of topics. No - His wife, Elin Nordegren, did not hit him on in the evening of Nov. 27, nor has she ever struck him. Yes - He does plan return to play golf some day, he just doesn’t “know when that day will be.” No - Woods didn’t think “normal rules” applied to him; he thought money and fame “entitled” him. Yes - Tiger has already been in rehab for 45 days and, starting tomorrow, will go back for more treatment and more therapy.
After watching the video, let us know what you think. Did his rehearsed statement come a little too late? Do you applaud him for making a step in the right direction? Or would you prefer to see this all go away so you could get back to watching golf?
(For more, you can read a full transcript as provided by the New York Times after the jump.)

UPDATE: You can see a new picture of Tiger Woods spotted in Florida here.
Better late than never, right?
Nearly three months after his car ran into a tree, Tiger Woods has finally decided to speak out. The golfer - who has been in hiding since news of his multiple affairs leaked out - will address a “small group of friends, colleagues and close associates” this Friday.
The event, which is NOT being considered an official press conference, will be open to all media via a pool feed. During this gathering, Tiger - according to his official website - plans to talk about “his past and his future, and he plans to apologize for his behavior.”
