    >> reporter: well, good morning, amy. tiger's done everything he can to stay away from cameras since november, but now he's finally ready to open up, sort of. tomorrow, here, he's going to meet with a select group of friends and a hand-picked group of reporters. this is not a press conference. he's not going to answer questions. but clearly, he's going to try to redeem his image. tiger woods is no longer running away from cameras. since his bizarre car accident three months ago, tiger's been in virtual hiding, but tomorrow, woods will speak out and plans to apologize for his behavior, according to a statement issued by his agent.

A longtime journalist's "inside account" of Tiger Woods is being published in June.

Atria Books announced Thursday that Robert Lusetich's "Unplayable: An Inside Account of Tiger's Most Tumultuous Season" will tell "how golf's greatest and most famous player built a public persona at odds with his private life."

Lusetich is a senior columnist for FoxSports.com who reported on Woods throughout 2009. His book is scheduled to come one month after another biography about the golfer.

That book is being written by People magazine's Steve Helling. It's called simply "Tiger Woods" and promises a "never-before-seen portrait."

Atria is an imprint of Simon & Schuster.
