Tiger thanked his fans for the incredibly support and his fellow golfers for being nice and great to him. Tiger also said that being able to play again just “blew him away” and he is fully focused on “hitting balls and more balls.”

When asked if he had a drug addiction (Ambien and Vicodin), Tiger responded that he never used any illegal drugs and took those for his injuries and to help him sleep during his father’s illness and after he passed away. Tiger actually talked about his dad a lot, which was probably an attempt to get more sympathy from the public.

Tiger refused to answer why he went to rehab for 45 days, saying “That’s personal. Thanks!” It seemed like there were forbidden words like sex, sex rehab, mistress or affairs. No one actually mentioned any of these words during the press conference and Tiger referred to it as, “what I was engaged in”.

One of the toughest questions was about how Tiger kept winning tournaments when he was living a double life. Tiger promises to focus completely on golf and his family. Tiger also refused to answer if Ambien had a role in his minor car crash last year, saying, he got a $166 fine and “it’s all in the police report”. Tiger dodged a couple more tough questions.

Tiger knew exactly what he had to do and answer in this press conference. The whole thing sounded very carefully studied. Tiger did a good job overall. What was he suppose to say after all that we have been reading about his affairs? He can only concentrate on golf now. Tiger is quite a good actor and he had to be to maintain a double life for years.
