Tiger out of the Woods with Majority of Viewers Reporting Apology was Sincere

-- Viewers split as to whether apology changed their perception of Woods --

FLEMINGTON, N.J., Feb. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Results from a national media study among 1,090 Americans revealed that the majority of viewers (60%) indicated that Tiger Woods' apology was sincere after viewing a video clip from his press conference earlier today.


The study was conducted today by HCD Research using its MediaCurves.com® website, to obtain viewers' perceptions of statements by Tiger Woods during a press conference this morning in response to his extra-marital affairs. To view detailed results go to: www.mediacurves.com.


Viewers were split on whether Woods' statements changed their perception of him, with 52% reporting that their perception of him had not changed; 31% indicating that their perception had changed in a positive way; and 17% indicating that their perception of him had changed in a negative way. In addition, the majority of viewers (64%) reported that Tiger Woods' apology was sufficient.


"Our automated response curves revealed that male and female viewers' sincerity levels were fairly consistent," commented Glenn Kessler, president and CEO, HCD Research. "The one exception occurred when Mr. Woods made comments denying the presence of any domestic violence, during which men perceived him to be less sincere than women in regard to those statements."

Now, it's your turn! With this program, you can book golf on day one, stay overnight, and golf the second day as well.
