*FOOTAGE NOW IN BEST OF THE WEB* Another day, another overpaid serial cheating sportsperson, revered for simply dealing with balls for a living, getting a pardon.

Tiger 'I love simple sorts, they make me feel like a supreme being' Woods "will discuss his future at a meeting in Florida on Friday, according to a statement released by Woods' agent Mark Steinberg and his spokesman Glenn Greenspan. He will make the apology at an 11:00 a.m. EST press conference at PGA Tour Headquarters in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. It will be the first time the golfer has spoken publicly since his November 27 car crash."

Steinberg and Greenspan also said: "Tiger plans to discuss his past and his future and he plans to apologize for his behavior. Tiger feels as though it's time to make amends and to publicly do that."

It doesn't sound that public, to be fair. OK so there's talk of TV cameras being present, and "a group of reporters will be allowed to observe" but they are not permitted to ask questions. Nope, Tiger will just get up, say his bit and then start fiddling with his balls again.

"Fox Business Network reported that Woods plans to return to golf 'within days.' The news comes as Woods was photographed for the first time in more than a month jogging near his home in Florida on Wednesday morning. He was spotted wearing a shirt and shorts by his major sponsor Nike but was not wearing his wedding ring. His wife Elin Nordegren has been photographed a number of times without her wedding ring since news of his infidelity broke. She is also believed to be living in a separate home, with the couple's two children being shuttled between both homes." According to pictures, Elin has also been busy shuttling Starbucks coffee to Tiger's home. Hey, he's into waitresses.

The following comes from TMZ: "Staff at the TPC Sawgrass golf course in Florida has a 4:30 AM call time on Friday - so they can get an early start transforming the links into the safest place on Earth. Sources connected to the event tell us the staff has been instructed to move all golf carts from underneath the clubhouse by 5:30 AM to clear a landing pad for Tiger's convoy. We're told officials believe Tiger will arrive in a fleet of black SUVs sometime before 11am - when he is scheduled to speak. Tiger's crew will drive underneath the clubhouse - presumably so he can move about freely without worrying about interlopers seeing or hearing anything Tiger doesn't want people to see or hear. We're told local police officers will be on site during the event - some of the cops will be in plain clothes. It seems Tiger plans on having complete control of the situation - as we previously reported, he's not even taking questions."

Funny how people immersed in balls by trade generally have none.
