This is Tiger at the very beginning opening his presser to the world's media.

Here we go.

That is highly manipulative to say that.

I understand that covering sports isn't covering geopolitics, but great reporting relies upon journalists not becoming friends with their subjects, not being their fans, not seeking their approbation.

or acceptance, not wanting their subjects to like them.

Next, after dispensing with the pleasantries about how he betrayed his then wife and his family.

And, you know, that's really too bad.

But what the heart of this apology is, these are the people and things that really matter to Tiger.

Just my opinion.

Here we go.

There we go.

Is it?

Why would it be more important than ever?

you've just been outed as someone with like probably a drug problem and when i talk about the cheating scandal this isn't this isn't like somebody on the side okay this is not that but what like like a good a good reporter in that presser would be like tiger why is your work more important now than ever he's worried about his sponsorships and his viability as a as a piece of commerce in the marketplace that's what he's worried about

Now he's going to talk about his entitlement and how that entitlement has only metastasized the longer he's been in public life.

Here we go.

He still does.

He has not learned his lesson.

This is clear.

Take a look at that overturned gigantic SUV in a very wealthy enclave of Florida and tell me this guy has learned his fucking lesson.
