The link is the Press Conference. I guess it was more of a press statement, than conference because no questions asked. (at least none were shown).

What I meant to ask ask is where in the link is the video of the press conference.

Dunno. Not my computer. It’s not really important. Thanks for trying.

One of the Mistress links in that article is for [Joslyn Jones](http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/12/09/joslyn-james-wanted-porn_n_386140.html) (aka Veronica Siwik) who is on the State of Washingtons Most Wanted List as a Deadbeat Mom. She was the mistress in the video about the Tail of the Tiger Golf Balls which allegedly promotes violence towards Women.

I don’t know if every woman who claimed to with Tiger actually was. I wonder how many really were?

Without corroboration, I guess we will never know. 14? have come forward. Were all of them telling the truth? Probably not, but I bet most were. And I would guess there are others who have not come forward, either they have been paid off, or simply don’t want the publicity. Heck, there might be a mistress who is already dead.

He’s going to make a public statement Friday, no questions allowed

Yep, all a prepared statement.

And I thought it was the Cowardly Lion in the Wizard of Oz. Apparently it should have been the Cowardly Tiger.

You might want to wait and see what transpires before making any judgments, if you possibly can. Just a thought.

He rarely talked to the media before all of this, he isn’t going to talk to them more now.

I’m sure the reporters allowed in will be a very select group - only golf reporters. A tabloid reporter won’t get within a mile of this event.

Also note this is during the Olympics which is still a much bigger story. Kind of like John Edwards confessing he cheated the night the 2008 Olympics started.

I was making an observation that he is not taking questions. I might be sticking my neck out on a limb, but I think his statement will be carefully scripted and vague so that he admits to nothing and tells the world to stay out of his business.

On the contrary, I expect him to talk about what a slammin’ time he had bangin’ ho’s.

Actually, you were calling him a coward, which certainly is a judgment and not merely an observation. As to the rest, we’ll see.

Well, no one has actually seen the injuries. It could all be speculation.
