For the past few days the media has covered Tiger Woods’ alleged affair, car accident and marital disputes extensively. Tiger released an apology via his official website today. Below is part of his statement:

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.

You can read his entire statement here.

This apology comes after a Los Angeles cocktail waitress told US Magazine that she and Tiger had a 31 month affair. The cocktail waitress, Jaimee Grubbs, told the magazine she met Woods at a Las Vegas nightclub the week after the 2007 Masters (which was 2 months prior to his wife, Elin giving birth to their 1st child).  Jaimee Grubbs also claims to have proof in 300 text messages.

Prior to Woods’ statement, the magazine published what it said was a voicemail (provided by Grubbs) that Woods left on her phone on Nov. 24th. This was 3 days before Tiger crashed his SUV in front of his Florida home.
