Tiger Woods has just announced he'll be taking a hiatus from golf -- and for the first time, he admits to acts of "infidelity."
Woods just released the following statement on his website:
"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 againto 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 theirunderstanding. 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."
Tiger Woods won't be telling American men about close shaves anymore -- Gillette is officially phasing him out of theirads
The company -- owned by perennially G-rated Procter & Gamble -- has announced it's phasing Tiger out of its ads while he sorts out hispersonal life. Translation -- they're dumping him.
Gillette is the first major sponsor to cut and run from the famed golfer.
Tiger Woods has been dropped as a spokesman by Accenture, a global management services company that featured Woods very prominently inits ads.
The company released a statement that reads in part: "Given the circumstances of the last two weeks, after careful consideration and analysis, thecompany has determined that he is no longer the right representative for its advertising. Accenture said that it wishes only the best for Tiger Woods and hisfamily."
Gillette announced earlier this weekend they were phasing Woods out of its ad campaigns. Nike, on the other hand, is standing by their multimillion-dollar man.
