The Tiger Woods Apology Tour 2010 stopped at Augusta National Golf Club today (April 5) where Tiger addressed over 200 reporters. Tiger, sporting a new goatee, spoke about his sex scandal, of course, but also about his return to golf, his controversial medical choices, and his Thanksgiving car accident.Woods says that golf has finally become fun again. "When you're living a life that is a lie, life isn't fun. Now that's been stripped away, it feels fun again."
Tiger apologizes to his fellow players for the increased media scrutiny of the Masters Golf Tournament. He says that he is continuing with the treatment he received during his 45 days in rehab. Though he wouldn't come out and say what he was in rehab for, he did say that he has never been treated for an Ambien or Vicodin addiction.
When asked about his involvement with Dr. Anthony Galea, who has reportedly provided other athletes with performance-enhancing drugs, Woods says "I've never taken any illegal drug, ever."
Tiger was under Galea's care after tearing his Achilles tendon and getting knee surgery. Galea performed a procedure called platelet-rich plasma, in which Tiger's own blood was put in a centrifuge to produce concentrated platelets that accelerate tissue repair.
Galea is currently under investigation, and Tiger says that the authorities "will get full cooperation whenever they need me, but right now they haven't asked for my time."
Regarding his Thanksgiving car accident, Woods says that he received stitches in his mouth and was fined $166. "It's a closed case," he says.
"I'm trying as hard as I possibly can each and every day to get my life better and better and stronger, and if I win championships along the way, so be it."

Tiger your a bad boy
F%$# you Tiger!
aka he's found a better system to keep women hidden and he won't get caught again?
As long as Tiger Woods continues to deny his infidelities he will continue to short himself of potential recovery.
He's still an immature spoiled brat that can't handle the transformation into adulthood and can't deal with structure or self-control.
Maybe if he acknowledges his faults and accepts responsibility for his actions rather than placing blame on others and living the "Oh poor me game" he may have a chance at becoming a responsible member of society.
Tiger, get over yourself and get on with the game. They disapprove of you but need you for the income. Use them as they use you. As for the affairs, big fricken deal.
Whatever ppl are so quick put there 2 cents in let him live with his own mistakes like u ppl dont have ur faults
Tiger is surrounded only by wukin wigger wuvers
