Tiger Woods set to speak publicly on Friday
According to ESPN.com, Tiger Woods will end his three-month silence and speak to the media on Friday, although he’s not expected to answer any questions. It will be his first public appearance since November 27 when he crashed his SUV into a tree outside his Florida home.
A unique twist to the appearance is that it will come during the Accenture Match Play Championship in Arizona, which is the PGA’s first big event of the year. Accenture was the first sponsor to drop Woods when details started to emerge about his sexual exploits
“It was a matter of timing,” Steinberg said.
When asked if Woods’ appearance could have waited until after Accenture’s tournament, he replied, “No.”
It wouldn’t be right to assume that Woods has ulterior motives behind making a statement this week, but it is interesting that Accenture’s tournament coincidences with Tiger’s public appearance. If he did want to stick it to Accenture for dropping him, stealing some attention away from the tournament would be a good way to go about it.
It’s highly unlikely that we’ll get more than an apology from Woods on Friday, although it’ll be interesting to hear what his intentions are for returning to the links.

Men, I was a partying fool, I am Tiger Woods and I had women do all kinds of crazy shit. That’s right, eat your hearts out and it only cost me about 40 million……hell that’s not even a few years interest for me.
As for all of you do gooders out there……too bad. They sent me to rehab where I met this fine looking cook and we went crazy one night. Get over it, I did it. What now?
As for Golf, I will be back so all of you strokes that were bad mouthing me I’m going to kick your ass again.
And for my marriage….who knows, the last time I tried to talk to the little women she took a nine iron to my ass so I’m going to let that go for awhile….but I wouldn’t mind another night of rehab. Hahahaha
See, I’m all better now,
Tiger
There are a couple scenarios I would love to see play out. First is, how cool would it be for Tiger to announce that he is dropping all of his sponsors. He doesn’t need the cash and he’ll have income from his winnings. Take every logo of every piece of equipment he uses so they can’t make a dime on his name. Then go beat everybody’s ass like he’s going to do anyway and when the sponsors come calling, tell them to shove it up their asses.
Either that or I’d like to see him announce that he’s walking away from the game for a year or two. “What…you can’t tell me I’m an ass to my face? Ok…let’s see where your prize money is in 2012 when viewership is back to the 15 people it was before I came along.”
Typically, no single player is bigger than any sport, but golf may be the exception. Without Tiger, nobody really cares.
Oh yeah…and he owes us NOTHING when it comes to his personal life.
