I'm betting he will come out of sex rehab & then do a sympathetic "exclusive" interview talking about his "problem" & how he is now "cured". He will shed a few tears begging forgiveness from his wife & fans. It will be nauseatingly FAKE, and he will then get yuned up for the Masters.
Anyone want the other side of this bet?
illegal square grooves in the trash. I hope he doesn't. His first interview should be with Stephen A. Smith. At least Smith has been honest in his assessment of Tiger. He has a lot of money and he can is Smith's view. The demographics of those who watch golf will give Tiger a pass, because they want to see him play, and yes the demographics are male between the ages of 35-70. It will be the PC crowd that will want a pound of flesh.
After March Madness, it's pretty much the Master's, US Open, and the occassional Basketball game at the Oracle Arena. I don't particulary care for watching basketball on TV.
I real think the media is artifically manufacturing a controversy. The controversy is fueled by people who don't play golf. Every golfer in the world, wants Tiger to play. I don't understand what is the big deal.
If he opts to address OPRAH with a half-assed tear than i'll agree with you; Bad decision.
I'm all for personal responsibility though. I wouldn't require a pound of flesh to acheive that. Keep in mind i never cheated on my wife,or thought about it. I don't give 'passes' to people who do. They simply need to take whatever 'lumps' come their way for that transgression.
Tiger does not need to interview with the trashy tabloid media types.
He needs to continue what he is doing and ignore the media about his personal issue.
He needs to get back and play golf, without the circus atmosphere of the incompetent biased mainstream media.
I, for one hope he does not fold and cave in.
his first golf tournament will be outside the US.
To gauge reaction and to be in an environment where adultery is not as big an issue. (Probably not Sweden!!)
about all this. The sooner he does that, the better for both him and us. This "thing" has carried on for WAY too long!
and also a philandering sleazeball-it would be a good PR move for him to do Oprah and face the music-the sooner he does, the better off he'll be-and while I wouldn't want my daughter to marry him, I admit I could care less about watching golf unless he's playing-Golf needs him, IMHO, and the sooner he gets back, the better-

But he does not need to stand around and take questions from the egotistical media. They have already demonstrated that a circus is all they care about.
Everyone knows what happened, and Tiger fielding questions from the peanut gallery is not going to do him much good as they will spin and twist anything he has to say in order to benefit themselves and their ratings.
or any other tournament this year.
I will say when he does address the media, it will most likely be at an event of golf such as the Masters, that has a controlled media presence.
I think the first we hear of when and where he will address the media will probably be on his blog, which by-the-way I think is a horrid way to deal with things. I am sure he watches the media though, and when he does release things on his blog, it is to guage the response and sentiment of the public. He is a smart guy in that way.
That would be a PR disaster for him and the PGA tour. He would not subject his peers to his personal problems and take everyone's focus off a PGA Tour event.
That would be pretty low.
will charge an appearance fee from the networks for his mea culpa?
Quite frankly, I hope he keeps it a private family matter. He needs to work on his demeaner between the ropes and how he interacts with his fans if he wants to earn some brownie points. Beginning to sign autographs for the crowds would go a long way to earning respect and forgiveness from the people who support him.
I agree Cynic. It helps him on the golf course, but hurts him off the course.
