Tiger Woods finally admits his infidelity and calls it quits...for now...


"I am deeply aware of the disappointment and hurt that my infidelity has caused to so many people, most of all my wife and children. I want to say again to everyone that I am profoundly sorry and that I ask forgiveness. It may not be possible to repair the damage I've done, but I want to do my best to try.

I would like to ask everyone, including my fans, the good people at my foundation, business partners, the PGA Tour, and my fellow competitors, for their understanding. What's most important now is that my family has the time, privacy, and safe haven we will need for personal healing.

After much soul searching, I have decided to take an indefinite break from professional golf. I need to focus my attention on being a better husband, father, and person.

Again, I ask for privacy for my family and I am especially grateful for all those who have offered compassion and concern during this difficult period."


What do you think of the whole situation?  Do you believe the apology is sincere?  If you were his wife would you stand by your man?  This mess he's gotten himself into won't go away for a long time.  Leave your thoughts and Join The Conversation.

Ha ha. Yes his apology does seem sincere. He said absolutely everything right. But come ON. Does anybody really think he wrote those words? People in Tiger's position don't comment on anything without first being told what they think and how it will reflect on their image. Maybe he meant those words and maybe he didn't and maybe we should care a lot less than we do about the whole issue.

His apoligies sounds sincere...but "actions speaks louder than words", he must really show his sincerity through his actions toward his wife and children. If I were his wife and considering I really loved him, I would stay by him regardless of what happened BUT he must really make up for all his mistakes (not with material things) by showing me he is sincere about changing his ways, and avoiding all things that will put our relationship in jeopardy again. I went through almost the same painful experience this year and I empathize with Erin...it is SO difficult to get over the pain, unfaithfulness and betrayal...but IT IS POSSIBLE. I chose to stay by my man because I love him and HE IS REALLY SORRY. My faith in God helps me get over it...in His time.

His apology appears sincere, and really, it IS between he and his family. I'm tired of hearing about his personal life. Leave the man and his family alone,in peace;give him the chance to grow up and the public a break from an issue that is voyuerism at its worse.
