I agree with this, but I will say one thing bothered me greatly. There is no doubt this was an unbelievably difficult, humbling experience for Tiger, but for a guy who can come across so sincere and natural when talking with the media, the robotic reading of a pre-prepared speech overshadowed the words coming out of his mouth for me. If he really wants to save his marriage, I hope the apology to his family was a lot more heartfelt.

Yep. Had he said the same thing without a script, in his normally smooth way I would have believed him more. As it is, he said what 'had' to be said. Crafted exactly the way it needed to be, and certainly not without a lot of input from others.

In a word - artificial.
