A News Conference Without Questions


When I think of someone having a news conference or press conference I envision someone giving a statement and then answering some questions. Apparently though things don't work that way in Tiger Woods' world. Tiger is set to give a press conference tomorrow morning where he has invited some friends, family and six reporters. Even though these six reporters were hand picked by Tiger, none of them will be allowed to ask a question. They will be there simply to observe and to somehow give this thing some legitimacy. Like someone said on a Tiger Woods message board, Tiger doesn't owe people anything. He only owes his wife and family an apology.

While I agree that he doesn't owe us anything, I do think that the sole purpose of this sham of a press conference is to come back to golf so he can start making money again and say how he has changed and to get all his old sponsors back and it really leaves me with a sick feeling. If he wants to play golf then just go play golf. There doesn't need to be some faked stage production prior to his return to the tour which is designed only to make him money. Let him go out there and answer questions each week on the tour and take his lumps. All he is doing now is being some a-hole control freak who probably can't wait to go back on tour and hit the strip clubs again.
