Tiger hopes that speaking at a classy establishment will clean up his image. But will it work?

After months of speculation and revelations, Tiger Woods will finally hold a press conference today to discuss the controversy surrounding himself, his career and his family — and the locale he’s chosen for his big mea culpa is pretty interesting. Tiger will be speaking from the clubhouse of the TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla., which is also the home of the PGA Tour.

But not everyone is happy with Tiger’s choice of venue. His press conference is being boycotted by all 950 members of the Golf Writers Association of America, according to New York’s Daily News. Their boycott was triggered by Tiger’s decision to include 12 media outlets and three wire services, instead of just the original three that were planning to attend. The guild members believe Tiger’s “presence, without the ability to ask questions, gives credibility to an event that isn’t worthy of it.”

“The position, simply put, is all or none,” says the association’s president Vartan Kupelian. “To limit the ability of journalists to attend, listen, see and question Woods goes against the grain of everything we believe.”

With its massive fountains, gorgeous landscape and impeccable architecture, it’s certainly a far cry from the cheap places he reportedly encountered his mistresses. Think, for example, of the church parking lot where Tiger was reportedly caught hooking up with waitress Mindy Lawton. Or the sleezy Phoenix hotel where he allegedly made a sex tape with two women. He’s certainly trying to make us forget about his encounters in those naughty corners — but will his tactics work? You tell us!

The boycott came after trying to get Woods to up the number of media outlets from three to 12 plus three wire services.

“The position, simply put, is all or none,” said GWAA president Vartan Kupelian. “To limit the ability of journalists to attend, listen, see and question Woods goes against the grain of everything we believe.”
