Woods to publicly apologise and discuss return

Tiger Woods will make a public statement on Friday in which he is expected to apologise for his extra-marital affairs, and discuss his playing future.

His manager Mark Steinberg said the statement will be made at 11am EST (4pm GMT) on Friday, Reuters reports.

"Tiger plans to discuss his past and his future and he plans to apologise for his behaviour," Steinberg told Reuters.

"While Tiger feels that what happened is fundamentally a matter between he and his wife, he also recognises that he has hurt and let down a lot of other people who were close to him.

"He also let down his fans. He wants to begin the process of making amends and that's what he's going to discuss."

PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem said he was pleased that Woods was going to speak about the affair. Woods' disappearance from top golf tournaments was expected to cost the sport millions in lost media interest, audiences, and sponsor revenues.

“We'd like him back as soon as possible but we want him back importantly when he's dealt with the issues he felt like he had to deal with to come back," said Finchem.
