So Much For Elin Signing A Binding, Comprehensive, All-Inclusive Non-Disclosure Agreement!**

People has the exclusive first and purportedly last interview with Elin Nordegren that hits newsstands Friday.
In 19 hours over four visits to her Windermere, Fla., rental home, Nordegren shared never-before-seen personal photographs and opened up to PEOPLE about the emotional roller coaster she's been on, her life as a mother to Sam, 3, and Charlie, 19 months, and her hopes for the future.
"My immediate plan is for the kids and me to continue to adjust to our new situation. I am going to keep taking classes, but my main focus is to try to give myself time to heal," she says.
She tells the magazine this was her first – and last – interview, as she intends to remain a private person.
**More details from the AP and Doug Ferguson include Elin denying she ever hit Tiger ("I did everything I could to get him out of the locked car. To think anything else is absolutely wrong") and that her people approached People. There was also this imagery from Ridgewood:
Shortly before 8 a.m. ET, when the People magazine story broke, his agent, Mark Steinberg, stepped outside the ropes of the first fairway and was on the phone for the next 10 minutes, as was Woods' spokesman, Glenn Greenspan.

/NBC's Ebersol Tours TGC Headquarters: Michael Breed Screams Offer For Free Lessons

John Ourand reports on an intriguing development for followers of the NBC-Comcast merger.
Ebersol flew in and out of the Golf Channel’s headquarters the same day, a trip that increased speculation that Comcast will pick the longtime media executive to oversee the merged company’s sports channels, including Versus, Golf Channel and Universal Sports, as well as NBC Sports.
Ebersol long has been viewed as the odds-on favorite for that position, which would report to Comcast’s chief operating officer, Steve Burke.
It appears unlikely that Comcast’s regional sports networks would be grouped with the national sports networks. Rather, sources say, Comcast seems to be leaning toward grouping the RSNs with NBC’s owned-and-operated stations.
