Tiger Woods Makes an Official Statement

From , Former About.com GuideDecember 2, 2009

Follow me on:

With the gossip mills running absolutely wild, Tiger Woods decided to finally make a statement to the press. Immediately after Tiger crashed his Escalade into a fire hydrant and a tree on November 27, the tabloids began speculating.

What was he doing out in the wee hours of the morning? And why did he have random facial injuries when the airbag in his car deployed? People were saying that perhaps his wife assaulted him with a golf club. But why?

Rumor has it that Tiger has allegedly been carrying on an extramarital affair for over two years - behind his wife Elin's back. Supposedly, when she found out, she went crazy and attacked him. While Tiger never confirmed or denied the chatter, he did release the following statement today on his personal website:

"I have let my family down and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart," he writes. "I have not been true to my values and the behavior my family deserves. I am not without faults and I am far short of perfect."

Aren't we all?

why did he not, like Letterman come out and tell the truth and it might have gone away as it did with Letterman. no more press. He ruined his career even tho he last mega $, reputation and the girls are not much better selling their stories for cash and then saying they are sorry to have caused hurt to his wife, then why come and tell the press for $ what happened. Such a waste of talent and what I perceived him to be a great guy now, no way. Will his sponsors stay with him and Elin. I feel sorry for her having to hear this day in and day out.

Leave Tiger alone. He is human, and it’s only because his life is so public that it’s an issue. You know what his wife will get over it, and if she loves him she will stick it out and get over it. And everyone else should stop being so JUDGEMENTAL.
