Why now? Players react to Woods’ plans (Ernie Els & others displeased)

MARANA, Ariz. – Tiger Woods isn’t playing the WGC-Accenture Match Play, a tournament he has won three times, but his presence is being felt here.

Like a dark cloud in Arizona sunlight.

In mid-December, Accenture dropped Woods as a commercial spokesman. Wednesday, the Woods camp dropped this little diversionary bombshell on the first day of Accenture’s PGA Tour event: Woods will be seen and heard Friday for the first time since his sex scandal began unfolding at Thanksgiving and led to his indefinite leave from golf.

Woods will appear in an ultra-controlled setting, in line with his modus operandi of so many years. He will speak to a “small group of friends, colleagues and close associates” and discuss his past and future and apologize at an 11 a.m. (EST) televised gathering at the TPC Sawgrass clubhouse in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla., according to a notice from his IMG agent, Mark Steinberg.

And the talking heads will parse every words, making a major event of Woods’ words as well as a replay of his antics. Back to the Olympic coverage, please.

I live down the road here from where he is and not one neighbor or friend cars about this crap.

we do care about the wars we’re in etc

listening to some dopey golfer celeb saying how he will change and how he made mistakes, let others down bla bla is pathetic.
I bet he even says how his faith has helped him as that is the usual clap trap they come out with

"Listened to a few minutes of it and turned it off."

It's on ABCCBSNBC, not just the cable channels. It's ridiculous. I couldn't watch more than a minute either. Strangely, I thought there was a LOT of Obama in that diatribe, not just Clinton. Similarity in pathologies, no doubt.

If this asshat want to make ammends, he should cut his wick off and donate it to science. So glad his wife wasn’t there. At least she has a little class.

You’re right, Rome (US) is burning and the media and WH thinks it’s cool. F them. Can’t wait for Nov 2010.

Thanks for the note.
