According to Tiger Woods' agent, the golfer is set to speak on Friday for first time since the entire journalistic ((and otherwise)) world found out about how heroically his wife, Elin, saved him from his car when it hit a tree in their Isleworth community last year.Mark Steinberg, and his spokesman, Glenn Greenspan, in a statement obtained by Bloomberg News sayeth quote: "Tiger Woods will be speaking to a small group of friends, colleagues and close associates at [11 a.m. ET Friday] at the TPC Sawgrass Clubhouse in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. Tiger plans to discuss his past and his future and he plans to apologize for his behavior."
Steinberg added that three wire services would be invited and is also asking the Golf Writers Association of America to pick a small group of reporters to serve as a pool.
Tiger Woods' presser will occur during the Accenture Match Play Championship. Accenture was the first sponsor to drop Tiger Woods when the sex scandal was raging and his press conference will sure direct attention away from the event.
Steinberg told the Associated Press, "It was a matter of timing,"
When asked if the press conference could wait until after the Accenture tournament he replied "No".
Those of us in the OSG compound think Tiger must have a golf weekend planned.
