Tiger Woods' agent says the golfer is not making any announcements Monday.

Mark Steinberg was responding to rumors late Sunday that an unspecified announcement about Woods would be made Monday morning on Golf Channel. That turned out to be word that Steinberg was joining Excel Sports Management. He left IMG in May.

As early as Monday morning, ESPN reported that the cable channel confirmed the "special announcement concerning Tiger Woods" on Twitter.

A search of the Golf Channel's news account and general account on the microblogging service didn't find such a post, possibly indicating that it was removed.

Steinberg told The Associated Press on Monday: "There's an erroneous report that he's making an announcement, but he's not."

Woods said last Tuesday he would skip this week's British Open because of "minor injuries" to his left leg that haven't fully healed, the second straight major he will miss.

This announcement must have been at at a bad time and Tiger obviously has a meeting with a young dumb thing and the announcement must be postpone, Tiger's priorities being what they are.

He is announcing that he has confirmation from his doctor that he indeed has an incurable disease. "HERPEGONNASYPALAIDS". Game over dude....

I agree with you Biker. I wouldn't be surprised if he does have an incurable disease. That's why I'm happily single, don't need the boys and girls ******** games. There are plenty of men here at the board that reminds me of Tiger Woods, a true player and untrustworthy human being who do not deserve a good women sad to say.

He is announcing that he is switching to the Hooters Tour later this year.
