MARANA, Ariz. – Tiger Woods will end nearly
three months of silence Friday when he
speaks publicly for the first time since his
middle-of-the-night car accident sparked
stunning revelations of infidelity.
However, his agent said Woods will not take
any questions from a small group of media.
"This is not a press conference," Mark
Steinberg said Wednesday.
It will be Woods' first public appearance
since Nov. 27, when he crashed his SUV into
a tree outside his Florida home. Woods' only
comments since then have been made
through his Web site.
Steinberg said Woods is to speak at 11 a.m.
Friday from the clubhouse at the TPC
Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla., home
of the PGA Tour.
In the days before Woods' accident, a
National Enquirer story alleged the world's
No. 1 golfer had been seeing a New York
nightclub hostess. Following the crash, a
stream of women came forward to claim
they had romantic relationships with
Woods.
Woods admitted to "infidelity" in a
statement on his Web site in mid-December
and has been on an indefinite break from
golf ever since.
"I am deeply aware of the disappointment
and hurt that my infidelity has caused to so
many people, most of all my wife and
children," Woods said at the time. "I want to
say again to everyone that I am profoundly
sorry and that I ask forgiveness. It may not
be possible to repair the damage I've done,
but I want to do my best to try."
