TIGER Woods will speak before he plays in the US Masters.
Woods is scheduled to hold his first press conference in nearly five months at 2pm on Monday, April 5, according to a tentative interview schedule that Augusta National released on Wednesday.
It will be his first press conference in nearly five months, and his first time facing a room full of reporters since he crashed his SUV into a tree on November 27, setting off shocking revelations of rampant infidelity.
The Masters only recently began conducting a press conference on Monday of tournament week, usually a player with only moderate news interest because most of the media isn't there yet.
Woods is the only player scheduled for an interview that day. Given the sensational nature of his downfall, what he says could trump the NCAA basketball championship game held later that night.
Arnold Palmer, one of the most popular players in golf history, suggested that Woods be more open with reporters.
"It's up to him to do and say whatever he feels he needs to do to redeem the situation, put it in the proper place," Palmer said. " ... I suppose the best thing he could do would be open up and just let you guys shoot at him. And that's just my thought."
The last time Woods held a press conference was on November 15 after he won the Australian Masters in Melbourne for his 82nd career victory. His middle-of-the-night accident occurred 12 days later.
Woods typically has his press conference at the majors on Tuesday.
Among those scheduled to speak the day after Woods are Phil Mickelson, Geoff Ogilvy and Jack Nicklaus.
The Masters runs from April 8-11.
