Tiger: Scared Straight


Tiger Woods' statement on taking a "hiatus from golf":  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.

  1. This won't last 6 months. By then, Tiger will be salivating for Augusta National and either
    A) Elin says, "OK play golf, but I'll be within 20 yards of you the whole time while a nanny watches the kids", or
    B) Elin says, "No! It's golf or me forever", Tiger says bye bye, and Elin is gone with a check the size of Sweden.

  4. Wouldn't this more appropriately be termed a lowatus?

  5. Yeah, Jim, a "lowatus." He really fucked himself over by controlling his image for the advertisers. The disparity between image and reality is so stark. More so than any of these other rehabilitated athletes.
