Tiger Woods To Make Public Statement At PGA TOUR Headquarters, 11 a.m. ET Friday**

PGATour.com posts this news on their site:

Now, according to Darren Rovell on Twitter, there will be no Q&A. And he reports this from agent Mark Steinberg: "Tiger will make a public statement to begin to make amends."

But what a great way to upstage his old friends at Accenture by doing this the week they host a tour event!

For those of you with jobs, PGATour.com's Brian Wacker reports that it will be streamed live on PGATour.com. I suspect it might get picked up a few other places too.

**This ESPN.com story, includes these new wrinkles:

Woods will speak 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 Woods 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.

Woods will not be taking questions.

Steinberg was also asked why this couldnt wait until after the Accenture match play.

Michael Buteau filed portions of the above story it appears, and also filed this Bloomberg version. Note that the first two to report the Woods press conference story were Bloomberg and CNBC's Darren Rovell.

“Tiger Woods will be speaking to a small group of friends, colleagues and close associates at 11:00 a.m. EST Friday at the TPC Sawgrass Clubhouse in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida,” the statement said. “Tiger plans to discuss his past and his future and he plans to apologize for his behavior.”
