Back Tiger News Today

Thank you very much. and fans going in and out, those who got out there early today, very pleased that they did get an opportunity to see tiger doing this on monday now seems to have gotten it out of the way so he can be in position to, well, finish practice and be ready to head into competition on thursday. and, tamron, i think its going to be interesting to see what the fallout is maybe from those who actually saw the entire news conference but im surprised here to hear what paige said because...

On the ambien when my dad was sick and when my dad died that was a tough time in my life and, you know, so thats when i was taking some of those things to help me sleep. thats about it. >> have you ever received treatment for it? >> no. >> thank you. >> tiger, how is your knee? and is it still giving you pain on a daily, weekly, monthly basis? >> my knee feels great. the only time it doesnt feel good is when a front comes through. thats when most people realize, youritis in there and get a littl...

They look up to him and hes a good role model. im a school teacher and so i do -- a lot of my kids in second grade talk about tiger, tiger, tiger, and i think its a really good step for him. >> reporter: my question to you, paige, is youre not just a school teacher, a mother, but a woman. youre married. tiger woods has in many ways violated many of those vows that he made. what is your take in terms of what he is today off the golf course? >> i think im going to tell you what my minister said an...

To get over that hump to get out in front of the fans. did you get any sense that he was nervous as every eye was on every move? >> i did not. he seemed the same. there wasnt -- it wasnt as loud as i expected it to be like in the past but he seemed the same -- relaxed. you know, we watched him and fred and jim. >> reporter: we heard people shouting "welcome back tiger." >> yeah. we heard a couple of that. it was good. everybody was clapping for him. >> reporter: he made note today of saying he a...

About the death of his father and his mental state. i thought it was an absolute home run for him. i also think a lot of people watching at home will actually appreciate the fact that the questions were not of the salacious variety. i think most people at this point would rather play a round of golf in traffic than hear anything else about tigers sex life. i think actually people are ready at least a section of fans certainly golf fans are ready to move on from the salacious part of the story. n...

And the fact i won golf tournaments i think is irrelevant. its the pain, the damage that ive caused. you know, my wife, my mom, my wifes family, my kids. you know, going forward, im going to have to explain all this to them and, you know, thats my responsibility. i did it. >> tiger woods saying he takes full responsibility but is he a broken man or a man on the way to a breakthrough in the world of golf? lets go to nbcs kerry sanders to see what the fans have to say about tiger. he spoke more th...

Thing for tiger to bring up. >> dave brought up a good point about the questions that werent asked. one question also that i thought that wasnt asked or at least certainly wasnt addressed in a satisfactory nature was this "vanity fair" article which has come out and indicated people in his inner circle were aware of what was going on and all along those folks have denied that they knew anything about this. i would really personally like to know which is it? did they know or did they not know? al...

Have contacted some of the other athletes who have worked with dr. gallia. have they contacted you as part of that investigation? >> yeah. actually contacted steiny and will have full cooperation whenever they need me but as of right now they havent asked for my time. >> gentleman in the side? >> tiger. >> yeah. >> you said in your statement that you felt entitled over the years. how are you able to -- i assume that wasnt the first time you felt that but how were you able to rationalize that whi...

Me. >> very politician -- this is the place for politics and he certainly worked the room like a politician. he received several questions on the performance enhancing drug scandal and seemed to be ready to answer this. is that case closed? his explanation anyway? >> you know, i dont think it is. i think people will continue to ask questions. one thing that he said in his opening remarks was that he hoped that, you know, in answering these questions today that people could move on from this. i d...

Great format. i dont think, you know, the staged apology, the five-minute rapid fire q & as, those are really difficult for anybody to look comfortable. getting him back in some of reporters, familiar faces, guys hes known for years worked to his advantage. you know, the thing that struck me, he was talking about the knee and how much pain and discomfort he was in last year. we werent aware of that to the extreme that the pain that he was feeling, so my question is moving forward how is he going...
