Tiger Woods answered questions for 16 minutes yesterday but offered few new revelations of his private troubles other than that the paparazzi are still camped outside his gated community in Florida.

"There's paparazzi everywhere, helicopters here and there, people driving by, paparazzi camping out in front of the gates," he said on the eve of the PGA Tour's Quail Hollow Championship, his second tournament appearance, after the Masters, since revelations of his multiple marital infidelity became public last November.
"Golf-wise, I've been working on a few things from Augusta. I had five months off and I knew things weren't going to be quite right.
"There were some things I didn't like in my golf swing, so I started to work on that, simplify things a little bit, got everything more fine-tuned and I feel very comfortable."
He all but admitted, however, that he had behaved churlishly during a television interview immediately after this month's Masters.
"Immediately after the event they asked me how did I feel about it and I wasn't happy that I lost. But given a little time to reflect on it, it was an incredible week. I think it went as well as it could possibly have gone."
On the golf course, Woods got a loud cheer when he was introduced on the first tee. "I have to say, this feels a heck of a lot more normal than the Masters did," said Woods, who has committed to next week's Players Championship in Florida, US Open in June and the AT&T National.
