Tiger tease

According to a press release from the Tiger camp, Woods will make his first public appearance in over three months at 11:00 a.m. EST on Friday at the TPC Sawgrass Clubhouse in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla.

Don't get too excited.

This is not a press conference. Tiger will be speaking to "a small group of friends, colleagues and close associates". What, are we going to see a round table of Tiger, Steve Williams, Hank Haney and Charles Barkley? ESPN.com reported only three wire services: The Associated Press, Reuters and Bloomberg have been invited and only one camera will be allowed in the room to provide live satellite coverage.

Has Tiger learned anything? Didn't he get into this whole situation because of his obsessive-compulsive idea that he can control everything? Not to mention his "infidelities" with numerous women including names such as Grubbs and Jungers.



I fear we're in line for more broad, meaningless apologies for his "transgressions" rather than answers to the laundry list of questions we've been discussing since November.

I hope Tiger proves me wrong. But until he does, enjoy two days of an incredibly overhyped media event that will leave even more questions than we have now.
