Tiger Woods to Speak at Inaugural Concert Sunday

2009_0116_tigerwoods.jpgA short note on Tiger Woods's web site this afternoon announced that the world's best golfer accepted an invitation to speak in front of the Lincoln Memorial on Sunday, as part of the "We Are One" inaugural concert. His willingness to speak comes as a surprise, considering Woods rarely, if ever, speaks up on politics. Throughout his career, he has preferred to play the Michael Jordan-esque, advertising friendly apolitical game. "I am honored that I was invited to this historic event and look forward to participating in Sunday's festivities," Woods said. Who knows, maybe he'll have a duet with Beyonce.
