Tiger Woods to Return to Continue Rehab After Press Conference Which Golf Writers Will Boycott

(HMG) – Tiger Woods is set to make his big press conference today but there are already a couple of interesting developments.  The embattled golfer announced he will face the press for the first time since his sex scandal hit the headlines last November, but representatives for Woods will choose which media outlets will be allowed to attend the conference, and they have insisted that no questions will be allowed. This has infuriated the Golf Writers Association of America (GWAA), who will boycott the event following a vote by its board.

A statement from GWAA president Vartan Kupelian reads, “I cannot stress how strongly our board felt that this should be open to all media and also for the opportunity to question Woods.

“The position, simply put, is all or none. This is a major story of international scope. To limit the ability of journalists to attend, listen, see and question Woods goes against the grain of everything we believe.”

Meanwhile, during a media briefing on Thursday PGA Tour Commissioner Tim Finchem confirmed reports Tiger was in rehab and is going back. The scandal-scarred golfer has reportedly been on hiatus from the Gentle Path Rehab Center in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, where he has been supposedly receiving treatment for sex addiction for more than two months.

Finchem said in part: “As we understand it, Tiger’s therapy called for a week’s break at this time during which he has spent a few days with his children and then will make his statement before returning. Accordingly, there was very little flexibility in the date for the announcement.”
