About a week after news of his indiscretions exploded, gold great Tiger Woods has finally broken his silence on the issue. Though he did not go into specifics about the controversies hounding him and his family, his apology speaks for itself. It is an admittance of guilt. Yes, Tiger Woods, through his website, has issued a statement on the issues currently hounding him which started when reports of an affair with New York party girl Rachel Uchitel exploeded in cyberspace. This was followed by other reports of infidelity including alleged one night stands with call girls and the latest, a revelation by Jaimee Grubbs of her 31-month long
relationship with the golfer (photos HERE, voice mail recording HERE).

Tiger Woods apologizes (full text / transcript). Looking for the Tiger Woods apology text / transcript? Posted below is the full apology of Tiger Woods as posted on his website. It’s a good thing that he has finally spoken about it and admitted his transgression. The reason why this issue has been blown out of proportions is because he has kept quiet until now. Hopefully, this apology will help finally close the issue.

I have let my family down and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart. I have not been true to my values and the behavior my family deserves. I am not without faults and I am far short of perfect. I am dealing with my behavior and personal failings behind closed doors with my family. Those feelings should be shared by us alone.

Although I am a well-known person and have made my career as a professional athlete, I have been dismayed to realize the full extent of what tabloid scrutiny really means. For the last week, my family and I have been hounded to expose intimate details of our personal lives. The stories in particular that physical violence played any role in the car accident were utterly false and malicious. Elin has always done more to support our family and shown more grace than anyone could possibly expect.

But no matter how intense curiosity about public figures can be, there is an important and deep principle at stake which is the right to some simple, human measure of privacy. I realize there are some who don’t share my view on that. But for me, the virtue of privacy is one that must be protected in matters that are intimate and within one’s own family. Personal sins should not require press releases and problems within a family shouldn’t have to mean public confessions.

Whatever regrets I have about letting my family down have been shared with and felt by us alone. I have given this a lot of reflection and thought and I believe that there is a point at which I must stick to that principle even though it’s difficult.

I will strive to be a better person and the husband and father that my family deserves. For all of those who have supported me over the years, I offer my profound apology.
