Shamed golfer Tiger Woods is set to break his silence and apologise for the sex scandal that tainted his clean-cut image and threatened his marriage in a press conference on Friday.
The sportsman announced a hiatus from golf and went into hiding shortly after news of his many flings and infidelities hit the headlines in November 2009.
Before his disappearance, he told the media he was keen to repair his fractured relationship with wife Elin Nordegren, and declared he needed to “be a better husband, father and person”.
Two months later, and following a reported spell at a Mississippi sex addiction clinic, Woods is preparing to make a comeback – and he is expected to reveal his inclusion in the upcoming PGA Tour at Friday’s press conference in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida.
According to his agent, Mark Steinberg, Woods will also use the opportunity to publicly apologise for his recent behaviour.
Steinberg said, “This is all about the next step. He’s looking forward to it.”
A statement posted on Woods’ website on Wednesday reads, “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.”
