A few bits were a bit cringeworthy, stareing into the camera too often.
All in all, I think he's done ok. Obviously it was rehearsed, but you have to give credit to the guy for standing up and saying what he did.

Cringeworthy. Looks like a 16 year old girl write that script.
As for the sex addiction, what a load of ProV1s. Rehab is just a celeb hideaway.

After listening to that I now have huge respect for him.
As long as he's true to his word. It was certainly sincere and from the heart, and isn't it the first steps to recovery to admit to your wrongdoings?
He obviously has some way to go and I was surprised that he's not making a comeback soon. I think it can only be good for him, his family and everyone else for him to take his time and not rush back.

He did what he had to do. Showed some humility and said he was sorry , what more do you want ?
Now he can go away and get on with things with his wife and family. When he's ready he'll be back so lets enjoy a British winner of a major this year

Anybody want to join me in a rousing chorus of 'crocodile tears'
I loved the well rehearsed little 'sighs' he did.
I hate to say this but as an acting job, I think Vinny Jones does a better job, and have you seen his films?!!?

That's the sad thing Jammy, there will be some that want more than just one pound of flesh. Whatever he did would still not be enough for some.
Despite it being a chosen group in the room it was still an awful situation for him to be in. Hopefully this will be an end to the matter.

I've found myself in a very strange place after watching that - I feel sorry for him and I don't know if that's right. He's come across as the victim, someone who needs help and getting the hugs at the end. Should I feel sorry for him? Alcoholics, drug addicts - I feel apathy for them because due to their substance abuse their lives are out of control. Tiger likes sleeping with women - this doesn't make him a victim. His Wife and children are the victims here and yet I feel sorry for him. He's still in control of his life - isn't he?
I'm concerned that 'sex addiction' is being used as some form of lame excuse. He's been caught and should be man enough to take the flak but instead he cites sex addiction and gets sympathy. I suppose I need to investigate this sex addiction thing more (I was going to write "I guess I need to speak to a sex counsellor" but that'd be wrong) before I make up my mind. Maybe sex addiction is the same as alcohol/drug addiction and he simply can't help himself.
He's doing the right thing though - stay away from golf, go back to square one with the Wife and re-establish the relationship with the kids. Golf will always be there - if he plays this wrong his family may not.

It is not an illness, it is a behaviour. The treatment is to tell him to wise up and stop it. Or don't. His choice.

This is my issue with it, I think. With booze/drugs the patient is weaned off and then has treatment to sort out the underlying problems. The person then has to abstain from booze/drugs for ever. With sex addiction, what is the outcome? Does the patient abstain for ever or can s/he only have naughties with one person per week? I guess this is why I'm not too sure it's an addiction as such - more of an excuse. Am I wrong?

totally agree, he thought he'd get away with it and got caught, end of story. Happens in every street in every town and no rehab etc. lifes harsh but it's not tiger I feel for, it's his family.

when does he sue his psychiatrist - it's bound to have been his fault.

I agree, blaming addiction is just another way of saying its not really my fault and trying to remove your responsibility.

If I was his age, with a few billion in the bank and had loads of decent looking bits of stuff lobbing themselves at me I reckon I could succumb to a bit of "sex addiction".
