Tiger Woods Wants to Protect Family Privacy: Agent

Hours after Tiger Woods canceled another meeting with the Florida Highway Patrol, his agent told CNBC, via e-mail, on Sunday afternoon that his client doesn't have anything more to say to the authorities at this time.
"We have been informed by the Florida Highway Patrol that further discussion with them is both voluntary and optional," Mark Steinberg, senior vice president and global managing director of golf for IMG, told CNBC.
"Although Tiger realizes that there is a great deal of public curiosity, it has been conveyed to FHP that he simply has nothing more to add and wishes to protect the privacy of his family."
Woods issued a statement on his Web site earlier in the day saying that the accident was "a private matter and I want to keep it that way."

Chevron spokesman Morgan Crinklaw told CNBC via e-mail that the company is "thankful that Tiger didn't suffer any serious injuries and we are looking forward to another exciting Chevron World Challenge."
Crinklaw said comment on Woods' participation in the event would be made by the Tiger Woods Foundation.
