Because knowing what you will do is an admission that you have no choice in the matter. No choice=no free will.

To put it in other words if your future is known, it doesn't matter whether you know it yourself or not, whether you think that you have a choice in front of you. Because it is known that you will go a certain way, do a certain thing, speak a certain sentiment, the choice does not exist. Otherwise how could it be known?
