Red Alert for Tiger Woods Mea Culpa

The golf course where Tiger Woods is expected to make a statement Friday is putting together a serious battle plan to keep spies, poachers and other no-goodniks away from the event.

TMZ has learned the staff at the TPC Sawgrass golf course in Florida has a 4:30 AM call time on Friday so they can get an early start on transforming the links into the safest place on Earth.

Sources connected to the event tell us the staff has been instructed to move all golf carts from underneath the clubhouse by 5:30 AM to clear a landing pad for Tiger's convoy.

We're told officials believe Tiger will arrive in a fleet of black SUVs sometime before 11 AM when he is scheduled to speak. Tiger's crew will drive underneath the clubhouse presumably so he can move about freely without worrying about interlopers seeing or hearing anything Tiger doesn't want people to see or hear.

We're told local police officers will be on site during the event -- some of the cops will be in plain clothes.

It seems Tiger plans on having complete control of the situation -- as we previously reported, he's not even taking questions.

His sincerity is obvious. What a bunch of BS. Sawgrass should be ashamed although I hear they are installing stripper poles on all the greens.

He's not the president. Good grief this is a golfer that can't find the correct hole. All of this is just ridiculous!

This whole story is pure shame on himself and his fans.Tiger needs to respect his young fans and tell the story how it is.If he is sick he needs to state that.This is sad so sad for the kids who look up to him.When I saw him and his wife walking the fairways during the presidents cup I was wondering wow so this is the women he picked to spend the rest of his life with.I was wrong way wrong not to say its his wifes fault.

Yah, Tiger is going to address the media on Friday with a speech. You can bet his public relations spin doctors will write it for him cuz he doesn't have the ability to convey remorse or admit his deficiencies. And there will be no questions allowed. Keep hiding Tiger...

Eldrick thinks he's in control of the situation. Now that's a laugh. He has wealth and golfing ability. Beyond that he is a world-class jerk on every level and most people see this clearly now. It goes far beyond "just" his sham marriage.

Yes, he'll have total control. Just like he did will all his women.

TIGER, YOU'RE SO IN CONTROL YOU'RE TOTALLY OUT OF CONTROL!

Saw his recent photo of Tiger Woods on TV. Looks like he had black eyes and a nose injury that are healing well. This mess is actually not just a private matter, although Tiger wishes and wishes it were. He actively took part in a "con' to convince the public that he was someone he was not. My prayers are with him and his family, but mainly with him. I hope he can accept that he has a serious problem and that he can continue to walk on a path to recovery, with the help of a higher power. He's going to have to continue to look higher for help - way beyond corporate America or corporate International. Even though Tiger was possibly traumatized by his own father's infidelity, he must remember that choices are NOT hereditary. Tiger has an opportunity now, with lots and lots of meetings and a good sponsor, to begin a life that he probably thought was only possible in his childhood dreams. He has to take this journey to a healthy family life, one day at a time; maybe even one hour at a time. This journey has to be his priority. As far as his golfing career goes; he'll be ok. As far as sponsors go, I think he's too great a risk. The public can’t be fooled again. He has to cut his loses and golf if he wants to, and confine his income to golf's winnings. He has to cut his negative ties to his father's memory and build positive ties. He has to be born anew into a healthy, spiritual, and moral life. It's his only chance for true happiness.

...battle plan to keep spies, poachers and other no-goodniks away from the event.

So I guess TMZ will be banned from this event.

The media networks SHOULD NOT give public airwaves and airspace to this jerk's PR STUNT. Since he won't take TOUGH QUESTIONS, the media should not bother to cover him. Let him put it on his website. BOYCOTT THIS PR BS.

Does anyone think most of these hookers would be slamming Tiger if he was Tiger Woods, Dishwasher? Or Tiger Woods, used car salesman? No of course they wouldn't be. But because he can direct a tiny ball into a hole 500 yards away he is a billionaire and all the girls get wet with the thought of all that money and attention. Pathetic.
