Tiger’s tail between his legs

‘I have a lot to atone for’
PONTE VEDRA BEACH (FLORIDA):
I was unfaithful, I had affairs,I cheated. What I did was not acceptable and I am the only person to blame.”
With these words, Tiger Woods (34) on Friday broke his three-month silence after an accident in florida home snowballed into an international media frenzy over his infidelity and ended up with the ace golfer taking a sabbatical from the sport to enter rehab, for his alleged sex addiction.
Apologising to wife Elm, Woods said he was “deeply sorry for my irresponsible and selfish behaviour... I brought this shame on myself.
He denied media speculation that there had been physical violence between the couple. “Elm never hit me that night (of the accident in November), or any other night, he told a select group of reporters at the headquarters of the US PGA Tour in POnte Vedra Beach.
He also said he intended to return to professional golf one day, but he did not know yet when that day was.
“I do plan to return to golf one day, I just don’t know when. I don’t rule out that it will be this year,” he said.
Woods said he had undergone 45 days of therapy and had “a long way to go”. He said he would be returning to the treatment centre — which he didn’t name — on Saturday.
