Rumor control, right here:
With new and improved working links...click here to see
Short version:
On Thanksgiving Day, after he and Elin and the family had turkey dinner, he spent the rest of the afternoon on the couch watching football and texting Rachel. After each received and sent text message he would clear his message box to rid himself of the evidence. Sometime in between there, one of his Orlando buds called him to see if he wanted to get together at the Clubhouse to play poker with the guys, to which Tiger said yes. Tiger left the house around 7:30 to go play poker, and left behind his cell phone….and one message he had forgot to delete from Rachel.
When Tiger returned home around 11:30 -12 that night, Elin confronted him about the text message in the phone, and the started a heated discussion to its regards. According to what I was told, there was more “incriminating evidence” than just the text message (i.e. photos). Tiger tried to play it off to Elin by telling her she was reading too much in to it, and did not know the story, etc. Tiger went upstairs to change into his gym shorts and t – shirt, came back down, and Elin confronted him again; to which Tiger gave the same story. Tiger sat down in a chair in the living room, and Elin sat across from him urging Tiger to just come clean. Tiger stayed to his guns and denied everything. At one point Tiger turned away to look at the TV, and as he turned back, Elin hit him on the right side of the face with the head of a 9 – iron. When she struck Tiger, she put a huge gash in the right side of his face next to his nose (causing his nose to bruise some), and virtually knocking two of his upper teeth out, and breaking the bone on the upper right side. Tiger ran scared as hell out of the house (which is why he had on no shoes) with Elin swinging the golf club throughout the hallway to the garage (i.e. causing the severe damage which has been reported). Tiger hoped in the Escalade and tried to leave; and as we know Elin knocked out the windows in the Escalade. When Tiger crashed, Elin panicked and was not sure what to tell the police (which is why there are two conflicting stories from her). When this happened, Elin immediately called Mark Steinberg to tell him what happened, and Mark told Elin to tell him what hospital they were going to, and he would meet them there.
Tiger is transported to the hospital with Elin in the ambulance, and as they arrive Mark is there waiting for them. The people from the hospital and the doctors take Tiger in for X-Rays etc to check out the damage caused. The doctors tell Mark there is not much they can do to repair the teeth and the gash, but the doctor knows a cosmetic dentist and plastic surgeon in Phoenix who will make Tiger look as if nothing happened. Tiger tells Mark to get the jet ready and let’s head to Phoenix to get this done. Friday after Tiger is released from the hospital, he does not return home; he and Mark board the plane for Phoenix. If you remember FHP kept showing up at Isleworth to talk to Tiger, and was told by another FL attorney (who Tiger hired for PR reasons) Tiger was not ready to talk. Well now we know why, he was in Phoenix, and did not arrive back in Orlando until either late last Wednesday night or early Thursday morning. The surgeries were more intense than what they had originally planned, which meant Tiger was in PHX longer than he should have been. Upon arriving back in Orlando, Tiger and Elin have been in intense marriage counseling sessions (up to 6 to 7 hours a day) every day! Both Tiger and Elin have told the counselors they love each other, and want to make the marriage work. The reports you are reading on TMZ and RadarOnline are about 30% accurate at best according to Mark.

FYI, the link/"rumor" DS posted has been sent around, verbatim, in various email incarnations for weeks. It was even posted on Deadspin as a Snopes-style "THIS IS NOT JUST YOUR FRIENDS SENDING THIS SHIT" thing. So take that for what it's worth.

Nope not in the least. I didn't think it was necessary for a public apology. He could've kept that ish between him, his wife, and his sponsors. I didn't see Allred's reaction, but I tend to pay her little mind anyway.

It's on here at work and everyone stopped to watch it. I could hear it in the background. He shoulda blamed it all on the Ambien.

I give him props for defending Elin, but that was the most emotion he showed during the whole thing.

I hate that they halted reality to show us that stupid announcement. How about not every cares and I would rather watch The View? How about WAIT FOR REAL GROUNDBREAKING news and events before you interrupt regular scheduled programs. For Tiger Woods? SRSLY? ORLY?
I laughed when he talked about how he got himself into this--but leave his wife and kids alone--oh and "many of you may not know this but...." he was raised Buddhist and has reached out to Buddhism for direction and strength. Yay Tiger, yay.
Also, this whole sex addict thing has become synonymous with "men who do what they can get away with until they can no longer get away with it."

The apology was probably presented as well as possible. There's always going to be a scripted element to these types of events, but I can't really complain about the way he made the statement. I don't agree with what he did, but at this point he had interests to protect and he acted accordingly. I have no idea if he was sincere, but then again that's something between him and his family.
If I were his PR/crisis management team, I would have been very pleased with how it went today. I'd be interested to hear from the PR practitioners on the board, as I know there are at least a couple who are experienced in the industry.
One interesting aspect, at least for me as a former journalist, was the fact that a number of sportswriters boycotted the event because of the "invite only" aspect. To be honest, I'm not sure what I would have done if I were in their position, although it likely would have been whatever my editor wanted for me to do.

They interrupted it because it would get ratings - the number of usual viewers who were driven away was outweighed by the number of people who tuned in just to watch the announcement.
You can call it a symptom of a celebrity-obsessed culture, but I completely understand why they did it.

It's news because it's Tiger Woods. He's one of the most famous athletes in the world, and there's a lot of curiosity about the situation. Whether we liked it or not, we're discussing it on a message board.
For those of us who don't care, we don't have a whole lot we can do other than telling friends that this stuff really isn't that important.
