If you were waiting for the next huge online video event, this is it. Tiger Woods is set to break his silence on Friday morning with a press conference that will be broadcast live at 11 a.m. ET on Ustream, via the company’s partner CBS News.

News of Tiger’s first public appearance since admitting to transgressions back in December broke earlier this afternoon. The golfer’s agent tells the AP that the event will consist of a “small group of friends, colleagues and close associates [who will listen to Woods apologize as he talks about the past and what he plans to do next].”

With recent Ustream events attracting millions of viewers and the huge interest in the Woods story, we’re confident the press conference will draw massive numbers, too. Plus, the fact it takes place during the U.S. work day means those that can’t watch it via television will be looking for the live stream online.

Ustream’s social media integration, which broadcasts chat messages to Twitter, Facebook and MySpace, will likely drive even more audience to the stream as viewers react to Tiger’s statement.
