And also that he'd like to thank Nike for standing behind him.

So why didn't Tiger press charges and make her look bad instead of just hi, coming out looking like the cheating bastards and she's the poor innocent wife?
Your specualtion escapes me.

It's an opinion. Take it for what it's worth. The way this all played out just smells fishy. Tiger and Elin certainly acted like they had something to hide.

AP moving a story with some details on the presser:

Tiger to hold news conference Friday
DOUG FERGUSON,AP Golf Writer

MARANA, Ariz. (AP) — Tiger Woods will end nearly three months of silence Friday when he speaks to the media for the first time about his middle-of-the-night accident that sparked shocking revelations about his infidelity.

Woods will talk to a small group of reporters at 11 a.m. Friday from the clubhouse of the TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla., home of the PGA Tour.

"This is all about the next step," Mark Steinberg, his agent, told The Associated Press. "He's looking forward to it."

Steinberg said he would speak to a "small group of friends, colleagues and close associates" about his past and what he plans next, along with apologizing for his behavior.

He said three wire services would be invited, and he was asking the Golf Writers Association of America to pick a small group of reporters to serve as a pool. Steinberg said there would be one pool camera, but it would be available live via satellite.

The news conference will be held during the Accenture Match Play Championship in Arizona, and is sure to steal attention away from the first big event of the year. Accenture was the first sponsor to drop Woods when he became embroiled in a sex scandal.

"It was a matter of timing," Steinberg said.

When asked if the news conference could have waited until after Accenture's tournament, he replied, "No."

That's the money shot. Accenture, of course, was a Tiger sponsor and jumped ship fairly quick once all this broke. I guarantee you Tiger is having this statement now to shove it up Accenture's ass (overshadowing their tournament), and he will never play in the match play again as long as Accenture's name is on the door.

edit: What Inky said.

edit2: Perhaps "money shot" wasn't a great choice of words ;D

I don't think a Friday morning presser is going fuck Accenture - since Sat. and Sunday are the only rounds televised live on networl TV.
I'm guessing the presser is set for Fri. because the cutoff for the tournament that Tiger playing is also Fri. Judging by the remarks at the end of the story, It might be a safe bet, Tiger will be playing next week at the Phoenix Open or an overseas event.

Of course it will fuck Accenture. The fallout will easily overshadow two more days of golf -- and the final two days of the match play, sans Tiger, aren't riveting anyway. Gotta fill the dead time and it will all be Tiger talk.

So you won't watch the Accenture because of the Tiger presser?
I won't watch 'cause I prolly won't care (because Tiger's not playing), but I still don't see how he's fucking Accenture with the presser.
You lost me.

Re: Tiger Woods Press Conferenece

Does anyone care about Match Play anyway? Even when Tiger's in it, it's not that great of a tournament, as the big guys are as likely to get knocked out right away as the no-names. I think poor little Accenture will be all right.

Re: Tiger Woods Press Conferenece

I think Tiger is missing a great opportunity here to show some humility.
The fact that this thing will be as controlled as it reported to be shows me he's still the same Tiger, surrounded by the same folks.

Until he faces the public/press in a way that is inclusive about what happened, this story will continue to rage on. Be a man, take some questions, and move forward. Get it behind you so it doesn't linger.

That being said, I'll watch to see what happens, but I doubt I will hear anything I didn't already know about him coming back and moving forward.

Or, he could just come out and go all Vince McMahon and cop to being a world-class d-bag and live it up with his new "bad-boy" image.

It bumps it coverage-wise.

Accenture goes from, let's say, above the fold to being a sidebar to Tiger.

Also, will NBC tape delay this press conference into primetime?

Phoenix? Home of the rowdiest crowd on the PGA Tour? No way Tiger shows up there.

What else would you attribute the timing too?
And it's fucking golf .. ... in Scotsdale! How God Damned rowdy can a crowd get?
Bethpage Black it ain't.

My money says he plans on playing (somewhere) next week, hence the timing.

The Accenture finishes on Sunday, two days after the presser.
The tourney was a Monday A.M. sidebar long before the Tiger presser.

Re: Tiger Woods Press Conferenece

Why would the PGA allow their offices to be used for this thing? And what would be the point of the media going if there are no questions, so they can write what he was wearing and how his voice broke at times, the reaction of the cast (i mean family and friends)?

Too bad there won't be an SNL this week, I could see them using footage of Woods apologizing and cutting away to show all the bimbos in the audience.

This will not end well.

There is not a PR flak in the country that can properly coach Tiger on how to go up there and not sound like a bitter, condescending prick.

If I was coaching him, I would tell him to start sobbing uncontrollably, make a reference of how he was glad his father didn't live to see this, beg for forgiveness from his family apologize to everyone and continue sobbing so much that he has to walk out.

I think that's the only way some would start to feel sorry for him.

What if he doesn't want anyone to feel sorry for him?

Mizzougrad96 said:

This is what we'll learn.

This was a private matter than he is dealing with with his family. He's sorry. Now leave him alone.

That's about all I'd say in a similar circumstance. Take about 30 seconds.

I don't think humility has ever been one of the clubs in Tiger's bag.

And yeah, it does sound like a big middle finger directed at Accenture.

So he's going to apologize for being a douchebag, in a forum set up so he can continue to be a douchebag.
