With media admittance limited, according to his agent.

Really, what is there to say? I doubt he’s going to reveal any new information or deny old reports, so it’ll be a Washington/Hollywood classic. I’m sorry I let my family, friends, and fans down. I wasn’t raised this way. I have a sexual addiction for which I’ve sought professional help. And possibly something about finding religion.

None of which is likely to repair the Category Five-level damage his marriage has sustained, so this is about getting over the past and moving on to again making millions playing professional golf. Which explains this:

Woods is to speak Friday morning from the clubhouse at the TPC Sawgrass, headquarters of the PGA Tour in Florida. The news conference will occur during the middle of the Accenture Match Play Championship, one of the sponsors that dropped him during his sex scandal.

His personal life is screwed, but he’ll probably be back making unholy amounts of money hitting a ball with a club pretty soon. He’s too good of a golfer for sponsors to shun him. Michael Vick did worse and was back playing professional sports immediately after release from prison. I’m not saying it’s right, but it’s reality.

He’s a sleeze bucket, but he’s a talented sleeze bucket. So all will be forgiven professionally.

By the way: Shep Smith just read the details on Fox News. Woods is actually addressing friends and colleagues, with the feed being carried by news stations. Only credentialed reporters will be permitted to watch from an adjacent room. No questions from the media. It’s basically a PR production.
