Tiger Woods will speak publicly on Friday for the first time since the scandal broke over his private life.

The shamed golfer, who was pictured for the first time since his November car accidntn today on a run with a friend near his Florida home, will appear in public at a press conference at 4pm.

His agent Mark Steinberg said: 'Tiger plans to discuss his past and his future, and he plans to apologise for his behaviour.

Tiger, who is planning a press conference, looked deep in thought as he ran

'Tiger feels as though it's time to make amends and to publicly do that.'

It is likely Woods will address his future in golf after announcing he would be taking indefinite leave from the sport to focus on his private life.

After allegations linking him to several women were first published in December, the notoriously-private Woods released a statement, but declined to go into details.

Tiger, who has two children with wife Elin Nordegren, said at the time: 'I have let my family down and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart.

'I have not been true to my values and the behavior my family deserves. I am not without faults and I am far short of perfect.

'I am dealing with my behavior and personal failings behind closed doors with my family. Those feelings should be shared by us alone.'

Since then, Tiger and Elin have been living separately in Orlando, Florida after the golfer returned from a Mississippi sex addiction clinic.

Despite reportedly calling off plans to divorce, Elin is said to still be unsure whether she can trust the sportsman, and decided living in separate abodes is the best option.

The Swedish model was photographed today carrying two coffees into her former family home, where Tiger is currently staying, just one mile from the property she is renting, suggesting a public reconciliation could be on the way.

Mr Steinberg added Tiger is keen to get back into the game with the least amount of fuss as possible, but understands he needs to address recent events.

He said: '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.'

It is unknown when the 34-year-old will return to the sport which made him famous, although speculation is that he will play at the unofficial Tavistock Cup event in Isleworth, Florida, on 22 and 23 March.

Tiger has faced intense press speculation since apologising for his 'transgressions'.

The most recent story saw porn star Joslyn James, who claims she had a lengthy affair with the sportsman, allege she twice fell pregnant during her time with Tiger.

The 32-year-old never told the golf superstar about the pregnancies - but said she was about to when she miscarried the first baby.

She later had an abortion during the second pregnancy.

Speaking on the U.S. show Inside Edition, the actress read out an alleged text message from Tiger, which supposedly said: 'You please me like no other has or ever will. I'm not losing that.'

Speaking about her pregnancies, Joslyn added: 'The first time was when she (Elin) was pregnant with Sam.

'And the second time was When she was pregnant with Charlie.'

Sam was born in 2007 and Charlie was born in 2009.

Joslyn added: 'I didn't tell him (Tiger).

'Actually, the day I was going to tell him I ended up having a miscarriage.'
