Breaking News: Tiger Woods Speaks Out: "This Situation Is My Fault"
After canceling again on a meeting with Florida Highway Patrol troopers Sunday, Tiger Woods has released a statement on his website about Friday's car accident and the injuries he sustained. Woods, 33, says, "the only person responsible for this accident is me. My wife, Elin, acted courageously when she saw I was hurt and in trouble. She was the first person to help me. Any other assertion is absolutely false."
Look back on these infidelity scandals
The golfer remains vague about certain details about the night, and about ongoing allegations of his affair with Rachel Uchitel. The full statement is below:
"As you all know, I had a single-car accident earlier this week, and sustained some injuries. I have some cuts, bruising and right now I'm pretty sore.

This situation is my fault, and it's obviously embarrassing to my family and me. I'm human and I'm not perfect. I will certainly make sure this doesn't happen again.
This is a private matter and I want to keep it that way. Although I understand there is curiosity, the many false, unfounded and malicious rumors that are currently circulating about my family and me are irresponsible.

This incident has been stressful and very difficult for Elin, our family and me. I appreciate all the concern and well wishes that we have received. But, I would also ask for some understanding that my family and I deserve some privacy no matter how intrusive some people can be."

tiger is one of the most best golfers that i have ever saw doing the best shots and now he has cheated at the end
sex addicts enjoy risky sex! The guy needs serious help! Saralee
Men dont deserve a wife and kids if they feel the dirty pigs elsewhere make them happy...nor does he deserve his sponsors...maybe someone who is working hard to be a GOOD role model should receive that privilege! He has NO respest for his wife, his children, his parents, his fans...or himself for that matter.
Should have married a sister. O.J. should be a lsson for all black brothers with money. You are a bank that is the reason she is with you. Blone hair blue eyes and a brother do not mix.
At least Tiger owned up to it and apologized to the world unlike Josh Duhamel walking around all smug thinking he can get away with anything.
man who cares! there is thousands of women and men going through the same situation, it sucks for both parties and mainly for the kids, what's next? moving on!
OMFG everyone is pissing me off, ASK UR SELF THIS... IF (YES I SAID IF) you had an affair whether ur 16, 30, or 79 i dont care, what if i told the WORLD!! and for the next 3 weeks u are being HOUNDED by cameras, and u for the rest of ur life are publicly humiliated. WAY TO GO DUMB FU**S, you all got what u wanted. You just could not accept the fact that he is an EXCELENT ATHLETE but you had to ruin his life, even though he asked nicely for it to remain personal. You just ruined a family, what if i did it to urs?
misty.. misty... misty... go watch a soap opera! that woman is not going anywhere cuz she doesnt want to! And who r u to tell her to find another father for her kids! u have to be crazy! this is just entertainment for we tv watchers to get all excited about... Tiger and his family r at home chillen, sippen on fine wine.. while we worried about they problems..
tiger, what you did will never be forgiven by Elin. She will tell you that she has forgiven you but do not believe her. If I were you give her everything she wants including her children and let her have her life back. She can find a really good dad for her children. You abuse her psychologically which is worse than physical abuse.
Denise Hunt you contradicted yourself.
WHO CARES!!! What color he is or if she is a so-called super ugly model.
just proof ALL MEN CHEAT
I hope Tiger will now choose friends that have a higher moral of integerty than the group of men that have influenced him down this road.
He had it all and it still wasn't enough. SELFISHNESS. Wants the celebrity, wants the trophy wife and family, want the girls on the side. Is it EVER enough?
He had blood on his mouth and lips. Apply a little logic people! He obviously hit the steering whee; that is exactly where you would be injured if you were in a very minor accident and not wearing a seat belt. If his wife had attacked HIM, he would have scratches down his cheecks, and defensive cuts on his hands, not blood on his lips. Duh. As for her smashing in his windows with a golf club, better the car and the clubs than him - and since the car and clubs technically belong to both of them, do the police really need to spend a fortune in time and resources to find out if she smashed them and charge her with a misdemeanor? Tiger says the situation is his own fault. Just maybe, he's telling the truth. he may be a cheater, but I've never heard it said that he is a liar!
First of all - what goes on between a man and his wife is NOBODY'S NOSEY BUSINESS! Secondly, he married her because HE WANTED TO FOLKS! Nobody twisted his arm! To those who try to make EVERYTHING racial discrimination makes me laugh! TIGER IS NOT BLACK!! He clearly corrected Oprah Winfrey when he appeared ONCE on her talk show - HE IS NOT BLACK! HE SAID, he is every bit as much a part of his Mother - as much as he is part of his Dad - HE IS BI-RACIAL!! Just b/cause someone has dark skin doesn't make them African-American! Tiger's wife is a Gorgeous Super-Model - he sure liked her - he married her! Lastly, President Obama is also not Black - He is also Bi-Racial... LOL
Sad World NOONE KNOWS IF SHE EVEN DID BEAT HIM UP FFS GET A GRIP. Her hair or eye color has NOTHING to do with ANYTHING. You seriously need therapy! Being blonde with blue eyes is NOT A CRIME! You people are going CRAZY over NOTHING! There is NO PROOF he cheated there is NO PROOF she beat the heck outta him! All he did was GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. He was on MEDICATIONS they asked for them at the scene so that could have been the CAUSE and not some fight over a FALSE STORY. You do NOT know that she is a gold digger nor do you know that she "went crazy" over a FALSE STORY and you sure do not know that the police department is not doing their job unless of course YOU were there to hear this "argument", YOU were there for the so called "affair" and YOU were there when the police were "not doing their jobs". Since you were NOT there keep your ASSUMPTIONS to YOURSELF. The rest need to as well until EVERYONE KNOWS THE FACTS!!
That money taking whore should be in jail. If she did not have blond hair and blue eyes should would be. I hope she ruin his career for nothing that's what he get for marrying those kind of people. What classy woman would go crazy over a National Enquirer Story everybody know they print bullsh**. Press charges on this gold digger whore and divorce her and get custody of your kids. At least the sorry poor excuse for a police department needs to do their jobs and arrest her. And to respond to Nike and all the other woman who say good for her. I hope one day your husband or boyfriends beat the crap out of you so you can emphasize with people who has been abused. Nobody not even a woman should put their hands on people.
Tiger doesn't want to say anything because it would taint his goody-goody image. However, the only people he needs to report to are the police, if need be, because he was in an accident. That's it! Case closed. As long as no one else was hurt in the accident...give it a rest. No one is perfect...Tiger included. It's no one's business.
