Thanks to an official release on Tiger Woods’ website, we have a tiny glimpse into what he will speak about during his 11 a.m. press conference on Friday.
In a prepared statement, Woods will address “his past and his future, and he plans to apologize for his behavior.” He hopes this will be the first step in moving forward:
While Tiger feels that what happened is fundamentally a matter between him and his wife, he also recognizes that he has hurt and let down a lot of other people who were close to him. He also let down his fans. He wants to begin the process of making amends, and that’s what he’s going to discuss.
The release also makes it very clear that this is “NOT” a news conference (they used the caps lock, so you know they’re serious). It is a gathering of “friends, colleagues and close associates,” which is open to the press pool.

TIming of Press Confernce
Ernie Els may be right about the timing of this press conference. I believe it’s in poor taste and smacks of TIger attempting to get detract from the Accenture Tournament in order to get back at them for dropping him as a sponsor. This is a press conference better suited to a Monday than a Friday during the Accenture Tournament.
Perhaps, Tiger is not so contrite as he would have people believe but is a bit vindictive in his choice of dates.
