The web took a collective 15-minute pause this morning as Tiger Woods made his first public statement since becoming engulfed in scandal back in November. Ustream is the first in with numbers from the event, as it tells us that its live stream drew 683,000 views.
We thought the event might be huge given the interest in the Woods scandal and the fact the event took place during the U.S. work day, and the numbers from Ustream indicate that the statement was likely watched online by millions in total.
Livestream, Hulu, and YouTube all streamed the event live, with the latter promoting it on its homepage and widely followed Twitter account. The event was also carried on all of the major TV networks, further contributing to the buzz across social media sites.
