Woods Offers Tightly Scripted Apology

Should we care about what Tiger Woods has to say in a scripted apology before family members? No. This has been covered to death. Too much coverage about too little. The Wall Street Journal, once a serious newspaper had written dozens of stories about this topic. Just another example of how much the paper has changed since it was sold to Rupert Murdoch.- MT

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla.—In his first public appearance since a withering sex scandal that began in November, embattled golfer Tiger Woods publicly apologized for his behavior Friday, but left unclear when he would return to the sport.Standing at a lectern and speaking from a script in a slow, deliberate voice, Mr. Woods said, "I was unfaithful. I had affairs, I cheated. What I did is not acceptable and I am the only person to blame." Listening quietly to the statement were his mother and a carefully vetted group of reporters, friends and employees. Mr. Woods, wearing a black sport coat and open collar, looked purposefully into the camera and shook his head at times. His wife, Elin Nordegren, didn't attend.
