With all the other woes Tiger Woods has faced, could his admission of "infidelity" place the golfer in legal difficulty?

On his Web site Woods not only admitted infidelity but also made a statement that he will take an “indefinite break” from golf.

If some of the reports alleging that Woods paid for intimate relations are true, it is possible the golf legend could face charges of patronizing a prostitute, which is a crime that can result in the sentence of a year behind bars.

A former madam, Michelle Braun has claimed Woods paid more than $60,000 2006 and 2007 for "escort services."
