Tiger Woods made a public apology on national TV on February 19 to try and make amends for his now infamous Tiger Woods Cheating Scandal … and right on cue, the animated series South Park will lampoon Tiger‘s televised apology on their new season premiere ep airing just under a month after Woods‘s apology on March 17. Here is our first look at “Tiger Woods” on South Park:

“South Park” would not miss the chance to mock on Tiger Woods and his press conference to confirm that he had performed infidelity in the past. The married golfer is animated in the Comedy Central series and the character said he’s entitled to enjoy the temptation that comes with being a successful celebrity. Cartman is seen behind him throughout. The Tiger Woods episode will be the opening of the 14th season which begins Wednesday, March 17. “It’s such an important issue in America right now – the sex addiction outbreak,” creator Matt Stone told the AP on Friday, March 12. “We’re all really concerned about him and hope he gets better.” Stone, who worked on the show with Trey Parker, said that they could make an entire season out of Woods’ story. “There’s a delicacy in talking about (Woods) that we don’t have to worry about,” Stone said. Tiger Woods made a statement before selected audience at TPC Sawgrass, home of the PGA Tour, on February 19 in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. He admitted to cheating on wife Elin Nordegren and asked for privacy during the difficult time. Stone said he was both fascinated and disgusted by Woods’ public apology, but would not reveal how they will translate it on the episode.

Well, I guess we’re just gonna hafta tune in to the season premiere of South Park to see how Tiger‘s apology will translate on the show. To be honest, I can’t even tell you the last time I watched a full episode of SP … it’s been a few years (I believe I was still with Erik when I was still enamored of the show) … but I really love how the show is able to capitalize and pounce on news of the day in such an almost immediate manner. After the jump, check out a very short preview clip from this season premiere ep of South Park for a taste of what’s in store …

For a preview clip, this isn’t a very good one. It’s not funny … at all. This alone would not make me want to watch the ep … but the mere fact that Tiger Woods is going to get the South Park treatment is sure to get me to watch. Any South Park fans in the hiz? Are you looking forward to this new ep?
