Tiger Woods is coming out of hiding on Friday, and he apparently hasn’t lost all control of his life. His press conference (8 a.m., ESPN) will be a statement, not a question-and-answer session, and it’ll be at PGA headquarters. Folks dependent on his well being will be there to have his back and run the proceedings as tightly as he wants.
I’m hearing some say he must apologize to the world, that he owes us and we deserve it. I don’t think he owes me anything. If he chooses to apologize for his actions, which I’m sure he will, that’s up to him. If he doesn’t, I won’t feel betrayed. If my neighbor Joe Schmo goes through something similar, he doesn’t owe me anything.
Granted, if he doesn’t show remorse and come across as genuine, the issue will linger longer. But I suspect most of us have bigger things to worry about than Tiger and his what spin he puts on it Friday. I like the notion his first event back likely will be the annual club-type match, the Tavistock, which is basically a neighborhood game in his swanky Florida digs.
We’ll see.
