Well here we are in anticipation of the golf superstar after his much publisized sexcapades that revealed themselves after his Thanksgiving car accident. Many people would just as well have him return to the golf course and just play without all this tabloid fodder being played out in the media. Too bad for them. The aloof golf and advertising megastar has been a recluse since news broke of his accident the details that followed will now face selected friendly media and make a statement about his future and presumably try and make amends for his sins without taking questions.
Anytime a married superstar of his stature is exposed to be a lying, cheating, and careless sex fiend of such a large scale it's newsworthy because the squeaky clean image fostered by his endorsements and the world class talent he exemplifies on the golf course has been eclipsed by his destructive personal behavior.
Fear not golf fans. This is the first step in getting Tiger back on the green.

MARANA, Ariz. -- Tiger Woods will speak publicly Friday for the first time since his bizarre, Thanksgiving night car accident, beginning what his agent called "the process of making amends" for the sex scandal that sent him into hiding for three months.
"While Tiger feels that what happened is fundamentally a matter between he and his wife, he also recognizes that he has hurt and let down a lot of other people who were close to him," Mark Steinberg said in an e-mail Wednesday. "He also let down his fans. He wants to begin the process of making amends and that's what he's going to discuss."
However, Steinberg said Woods will not take any questions from a small group of media. "This is not a press conference," he said.
