"The race is on among TV networks to try to land one of the year’s biggest ‘gets’ — the first interview with Tiger Woods since the world’s No. 1 golfer crashed his SUV outside his Florida home," Michael Hiestand writes, adding that "The Oprah Winfrey Show, ESPN and Golf Channel say they’ve requested on-camera interview; HBO Sports also put in a request but was turned down, spokesman Ray Stallone said." Thus far, "Woods has only communicated through his website about the single-car crash and reports of his alleged extramarital affairs. Public confessionals are not Woods’ style. But if he chooses to tell his side of the story, he might look for a friendly TV face he knows and trusts."
