Tiger Woods is scheduled to give a "statement" at a press conference he's announced for Friday at 11:00 a.m. ET.

No doubt he will issue the obligatory apologies and then suggest everything be put behind him, as he's now cured and wants to on with the business of playing golf.

The advertisers and sponsors are apparently already lining up for their $hare of the take.

I plan on being anywhere BUT near a TV or radio at that time.

Tiger can take a long walk off a short pier, as far as I'm concerned.

I pray for his true humility.

I think he's doing all this damage control for the same reason he married Elin in the first place - because he thinks it'll be good for his career. I don't think Tiger does anything, ever, that's not 100% for Tiger.

I'll bet that underneath he's mad as hell that he's being "forced" to do all this and honestly cannot understand what anyone is upset about, including his wife. Money is enough for him, because he can buy anything he wants. Why isn't it enough for her, too? What on earth could anyone want that money can't buy??

Like most waywards, now that he knows how he got caught he will just move farther underground.


BS - me 56
XWH - 57

12/25/06 - Dday - WH promised NC. Plan A in effect. Thought we were in recovery.

9/07 - Dday #3. Still lying and sneaking around. Plan B implemented
WH wants nothing to do with me

The local news asked a question last night concerning Tiger and his imminent press conference. The question was "What do you want to hear Tiger say?"

The number 1 answer, by a substantial margin, in the open ended question poll was...

NOTHING!

Most people pretty much don't care what he has to say, it seems.

Unlike most waywards, he placed himself in a well respected treatment center for sex addiction, for 6 weeks.

I wonder what the treatment consists of.

Electrodes?

I fully expect him to say only the bare minimum that he thinks will get everyone to shut up and get off his back. Of course, that won't work, and so he'll get even madder and start looking for someone to blame.

That will probably be Elin. It's clear that he saw her only as another employee to help the Tiger Woods Moneymaking Machine. This only came to light when SHE finally had enough, so I would expect he'll blame her. I think he would have filed for divorce already except that it would have made him look even worse.

Tiger cares about no one but himself, and probably never will. I think that tomorrow we will see nothing but a pathetic display from an active cheater who honestly believes nobody matters as much as he does and can't see any reason why they should.

I hope he sees just how badly he messed up but I'm not holding my breath. He probably learned a thing or two of what NOT to do from Mark Sanford. I wonder if OW Jaime Grubby is going to go with round #3000 of mouth flapping afterwards. MrRollieEyes

Many a good man has failed because he had a wishbone where his backbone should have been.

We gain strength, and courage, and confidence by each experience in which we really stop to look fear in the face... we must do that which we think we cannot.

I think it is a lot like AA.
Not a cure.
Just keep on "showing up".
Life long attending meetings.
Learning how to think differently.
Learning how to deal with uncomfortable emotions, such as anxiety.
A true narcissist would never stay 6 weeks in a treatment program where he was obliged to make daily confessions. (without a court order)

Well, he might stay if there were literally millions of dollars in endorsements at stake, especially if he is already a master at telling people whatever they want to hear so they'll give him what he wants. Which in this case is the freedom to go back to golf and money and money and money and more money.

Six weeks of telling people what they want to hear would be a small price to pay for all that. Just sayin'.

It is a good thing for Tiger that Mulan does not live in Florida when Tiger shows his face on Friday. laugh
