Tiger Woods: I have sinned against you. I'm sorry.

Cry me a river.

It's too little, too late, pal. That ship has sailed.

How the mighty have fallen.

I am impressed that so far posters on this thread are intuitive enough to know his heart and whether or not he is sincere.

"that he got caught"

Wow, I was thinking the same thing, did a refresh and there was your comment.

I read that next time he sticks his salami into another bun, he will be extremely careful.

Elin deserves praise, not blame.

How big of him to absolve Elin of any blame... I don't think too many people are blaming her for his affairs.

I also don't blame the tournament golfers who are, in my opinion, justifiably angry that coverage of a major tournament has been hijacked by Tiger's need to make this statement today. He couldn't have waited? He couldn't have chosen another forum? Seems to me like he still wanted attention from the golf world.

I find it interesting that he claims to be a born-again-Buddhist. That's a first; must be fall out from the Bret Hume call to repentance.

As an apology/PR rebuilding, I'd give this a B+. Certainly better than Clinton's numerous non-apologies.

I'll give him some credit: I expected the statement to say "I'm cured - I'll be playing in the Master's in 7 weeks." Most of these ne'er-do-wells don't bother to finish the therapy and declare themselves healed. Sounds like he recognizes that there's a problem.

And hey -- it's certainly cost him big time. Kobe (for instance) got off easy.

Tiger voted for and supported Obama, I believe his heart parallels his politics.

No mention of GOD. That’s his MAIN problem.

Brit Hume was right!

I know you can’t separate his private and public life completely, but to me, his private life is his own. He screwed up big time. On the other hand, I love watching this guy play and will always admire what he can do with a golf ball. I love the game, too, and hope he returns to it as soon as possible.

Sorry, NOT buying it! This is nothing but a SCAM, SHAM so-called “confession”; This totally controled, accepting NO QUESTIONS, “press conference” is just a lame attempt at salvaging the “Tiger Woods” brand. The only reason and purpose behind this “confession” is Tiger needs the dough, needs the sponsors, needs the cash, needs the moolah. That is what this is about, period. He is a whoremonger who can hit a little white ball into a cup better than anyone else. But he has screwed the pooch and his money stream has dried up. This is just a poor attempt to get that stream running again.

“I had sex with those 7 to 10 women and lost ALOT of money when I caught...for that I’m really sorry...otherwise...who’s business was it what I did”?

Good job Maestro. Judge the way he handles temptation.

That’s like me vowing to never throw an interception in the Super Bowl. I vow to never put someone into the wall at Daytona. I promise to never sign a federal budget that is not balanced.

Wow! I’m a pretty awesome guy!

A rather bizarre venue. Aside from his mom, I think they should have had captions of everyone in the room, and exactly how their income (or entree to a billionaire lifestyle) depends on Tiger.

Shorten it from 13 minutes, or whatever it was: “Sorry I got caught, and I’ll bet you are, too!”
