Tiger talked – and mere moments after the golfing great completed his very public apology, the public was already talking back.

Tiger Woods’ 13-1/2 minute mea culpa for cheating on his wife and disappointing legions of fans was aired live Friday on dozens of broadcast networks, cable news outlets and online streams, allowing millions to tune in.

ABC’s George Stephanopoulos called the speech “one of the most remarkable public apologies ever by a public figure.”

“He (Tiger) left nothing on the table,” Stephanopoulos said. “This is a man who has thought a lot about what he did.”

Rick Cerrone, former New York Yankees public relations director, disagreed. “What I saw was arrogance. … It was basically an infomercial,” he said on CNN.

CBS’ David Feherty, who has covered Woods on the circuit, said, “I have never seen him appear so vulnerable. … I was very impressed with what he said.”

“The vast number of people just want their Tiger Woods back,” Feherty said.

Harvey Levin, head of TMZ, gave Tiger an A for effort.

“Obviously I watched,” he wrote on Twitter. “I think he hit the right notes. In a big way. He’s not converting everyone today, but this is the foundation. An A!”

At least one celebrity wasn’t letting Woods off so easily.

“Tiger, wa, wa, wa!” tweeted Patti Stanger, relationship expert and star of Bravo’s “The Millionaire Matchmaker.” “That was a ploy to save sponsors. I can read body language. He’s not sorry. I bet he called [alleged mistress] Rachel Uchitel this morning.”

“Saturday Night Live” head writer Seth Meyers had a lighter critique of Woods’ speech. “To come out of this scandal and still be named valedictorian is an amazing accomplishment for Tiger,” he tweeted.
