Tiger Woods has broken his silence since the emergence of even more alleged mistresses. The golf star says that he is taking a break from the sport due to his infidelity.
In a statement made via his official website, Woods states:
"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."

tigris wudu hiatus coitus; it's all Latin to me!
Tiger needs to avoid bad council from Charles Barkley, John Daly, and the like and spend quality time with men of integrity and character like Bernhard Langer, Jack Nicolas, Arnold Palmer, Gary Player, Tom Watson. The only way his marriage and life will be made whole again is if he turns it over to Jesus to restore. Payne Stewart would be a good example to follow of someone who served the Golf Gods before turning his live over to Jesus. No one knows when there time is up, but Payne made the right choices before his time ran out, perhaps godly men will give Tiger the same council before it's too late. Only Jesus can un-scramble scrambled eggs.
