Will Elin accompany Woods when he speaks on Friday?

Question

Will Woods wife Elin Nordegren be involved in Woods press statement? After all, it's her who will have felt the brunt of Tiger's actions (besides Woods himself of course). If he can demonstrate that she's on side, wouldn't that smooth the way for his return?

Answer 1

That's certainly the way the PR people might be thinking, but Woods himself is probably unhappy about having to deal with the media at all - even if he accepts some media interaction is an inevitable part of his return to golf, he probably still wants to do it on his terms, at least as much as he possibly can. So, uh, maybe, maybe not, but if she does figure, it's probably not something Woods will be comfortable with. In fact, it's fair to say Woods is probably pretty uncomfortable with the whole thing.
