Tiger Woods To Be On Oprah???

She may be on her way to retirement, but for the time being Oprah Winfrey is still the Queen of TV Dish.

Oprah Winfrey wants scandal-stricken sports star Tiger Woods to sit down with her in an exclusive interview about the cheating spree threatening his career and his marriage.

According to AOL, O has personally reached out to Woods to share his side of the story in a brewing scandal romantically-linking the married golfing legend to at least three other women.

“Everyone in the TV business wants this interview,” an undisclosed informant says, “Matt Lauer, Barbara Walters and Larry King’s people have all called, but only Lady O has personally reached out.”

Tiger Wood's Gives Statement: "Regrets Those Transgressions"

Tiger Woods acknowledged Wednesday morning that he let down his family, saying he regrets "those transgressions with all of my heart."



Woods released a statement on his Web site, offering his "profound apology" to his family and friends.

UsWeekly magazine published a cover story that says a cocktail waitress in Los Angeles carried on a 31-month affair with the married Woods, the world's top-ranked golfer.

"I have let my family down and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart," Woods said in the statement. "I am dealing with my behavior and personal failings behind closed doors with my family. Those feelings should be shared by us alone."

UsWeekly has reported Woods and his wife, Elin Nordegren, have a prenuptial agreement worth $300 million. If that number is correct -- or close -- and the two divorced, it would be the most expensive celebrity divorce in history, exceeding the $150 million-plus Michael Jordan paid his wife, Juanita, in their settlement.

The cocktail waitress, Jaimee Grubbs, told UsWeekly she had a voice mail of Woods.
"Hey, it's, uh, it's Tiger. I need you to do me a huge favor," the message said. "Um, can you please, uh, take your name off your phone. My wife went through my phone. And, uh, may be calling you. ... You gotta do this for me. Huge. Quickly. All right. Bye."

Also, radar reported that Rachel Uchitel, the New York bar hostess who initially denied an affair with Woods, will admit to it and that her attorney, Gloria Allred, has scheduled a news conference for Thursday.

In its final report released Wednesday, the Florida Highway Patrol said Woods' Friday morning accident caused $3,200 in property damage and that he was not wearing a seat belt and was traveling 30 mph in a 25 mph zone. Woods was cited for reckless driving and has paid a $164 fine, court records show.

Tiger Wood Car Crash: What Really Happened?

Each hour that passes without word from Tiger Woods about the details of his car crash early Friday morning may prove damaging to his image by filling an online rumor mill with conjecture, opinion and rumor, according to experts who advise high-profile athletes and celebrities on managing how they are viewed by others.

The decision relayed by Woods’s agent, Mark Steinberg, to put off until Sunday a Florida Highway Patrol interview with Woods and his wife, Elin, probably did not help Woods’s case in the court of public opinion, they said.

“I think the next 24 hours are critical that Tiger addresses this publicly,” said Steve Rosner, the founder of 16W Marketing, who represented the former Giants linebacker Lawrence Taylor. “I understand it’s a personal matter, but because of who he is in the sports world, not only domestically but worldwide, I think it would help for him to put in his own words what transpired.”

Mike Paul, the founder of MGP and Associates, said that more than 3,200 stories were published worldwide in electronic or print form in the 36 hours after Woods drove his Cadillac Escalade over a fire hydrant and crashed into a neighbor’s tree at about 2:25 a.m. Friday.
“My advice to Tiger is pretty simple,” Paul said. “Own it, say it yourself, say it yourself with full conviction and responsibility and get it out of the way. “You have an opportunity to change rumor and innuendo into truth. Moving past fear and doubt — that’s something they did not do well during the first 24 hours.”

But now even the authorities will apparently have to wait at least another day to hear from Woods, who is not required to speak with them. An interview on Sunday could determine whether charges will be filed.
“This is still an ongoing crash investigation,” Sgt. Kim Montes, a spokeswoman for the Florida Highway Patrol, said Saturday afternoon in a statement. Earlier, in an e-mail message, Montes said: “We will not be addressing any rumors or other scenarios. If our investigation takes us in a different direction, we will let the media know.”

Woods, 33, was lying on the street unconscious near his vehicle for nearly five minutes, according to an incident report released by the Orange County Sheriff’s Office, which received the initial 911 call from a resident of the gated community of Isleworth, an Orlando suburb where several high-profile athletes live.

Much of the speculation in the news media about the cause and nature of the incident stemmed from reports from the Windermere, Fla., police chief, Daniel Saylor, who said Friday that Woods’s wife used a golf club to break the rear window of the S.U.V. to help extricate Woods.

Saylor told reporters that when officers arrived on the scene, Woods was “drifting out of consciousness.” He was taken to the hospital 23 minutes after officers from the sheriff’s office arrived on the scene and was later released.

The Orlando Sentinel reported Saturday on its Web site that the highway patrol said Woods’s car received $5,000 to $8,000 worth of damage to the front bumper and grille, even though the airbags did not deploy.

The highway patrol said alcohol was not a factor.

Montes said the highway patrol had not yet reviewed a tape of a 911 call provided by the sheriff’s office and that there was no timeline for its release. The county sheriff’s office did, however, release a copy of the dispatch report on its Web site.

Experts say Woods may to have to step outside the cocoon in which his private life is usually wrapped in order to take control of the story. The longer he waits to address the news media about the accident, the greater the possibility that his reputation could suffer, they said.

Referring to the private lives of public figures, Rosner said, “They don’t need to tell everybody everything at every time, but because of what has transpired and the different reports that have come in, I think it is essential for him to address it within the next 24 hours.”

Regardless of when Woods chooses to address the incident publicly, he will have a chance to do so Tuesday at a previously scheduled news conference at the Chevron World Challenge, a tournament he is hosting at the Sherwood Country Club in Thousand Oaks, Calif.

Paul said that even if Woods waited until then to address the story, he must still face the subject.

“This isn’t about the tournament right now, unfortunately,” Paul said. “You’ve got major sponsors, you’ve got a major investment in it yourself, and the best way to protect them right now is to be there to answer the questions. You don’t want to be seen as lying and you don’t want to be seen as avoiding.”

Among questions almost certain to come up will be the descriptions of the scene when police arrived.

On Friday, Saylor of the Windermere police said in a briefing that officers found Woods lying in the street with his wife standing over him “frantic, upset.”

“It was her husband laying on the ground,” he said.

According to information from the dispatchers, and released by the sheriff’s office, Woods was lying on the street unconscious at 2:29:20 a.m.. At 2:33:49, the dispatch reported that the “male is breathing.”

Saylor said Friday that Woods sustained lacerations to his upper and lower lips and that there was blood in his mouth. Saylor said Woods was treated on scene for 10 minutes. The dispatch report shows that at 2:52 a.m. Woods was transported to Health Central Hospital in Ocoee. He was treated and released Friday in good condition, Woods’s spokesman said.
