Tiger's First Real Press Conference...

Tiger Woods' first "real" press conference since his Thanksgiving accident took place at 2 PM on the Monday before the Masters, as the world's most famous golfer -- after practicing on the world's most famous golf course -- managed to make Opening Day of the MLB season irrelevant for quite a while.

The media line into the press room was described as "Disney World-like" despite Augusta limiting it to one entry per outlet which meant that Woods likely wouldn't be able to get in and out too quickly.

That was most certainly the case as the press asked questions for more than a half-hour, ranging from things that involved Tiger's family, his prescription drug use, the "PED discussion," his sponsors, his management, his wife and, of course, the Masters.

Tiger addressed most of the questions -- at least the personal ones early on and all of the golf-related issues -- in a straightforward manner, appearing open and honest.

Of course, there were one or two items that caused him to bristle: Tiger discussed how his treatment will be "ongoing" and when asked a follow-up as to why he was in treatment, came with a very short, "That's personal, thank you."

Additionally, when asked about both Ambien and Vicodin, Tiger seemed to waltz around the issue of addiction/abuse of either. Instead, he pinned his "pretty, um, interesting knee situations over the years" as well as the sickness and death of his father as the reasons for the prescribed medication.

But when asked if he received treatment for them, Tiger's head bowed a bit before he shook it back and forth while offering a rather unauthoritative "no."
