Tiger Apologizes to Wife, Fans
Admits to sex therapy; unsure of return date.
What does Tiger sound like with his tail between his legs? “I want to say to each of you simply and directly, I am deeply sorry for my irresponsible and selfish behavior,” Tiger Woods said in a televised statement on Friday. He was particularly apologetic to his wife Elin, “We have a lot to discuss,” he said. “However, what we say to each other will remain between the two of us.” He admitted to being in sex therapy: “It’s hard to admit that I need help, but I do. For 45 days, from the end of December to February, I was in in-patient therapy receiving guidance on the issues I’m facing. … Starting tomorrow, I will leave for more treatment and more therapy.” He pledged to return to golf, but said he was unsure of the date—saying it could possibly be this year. Tiger also stressed that, on the night of his car accident, “Elin never hit me that night or any other night. There has never been an episode of domestic violence in our marriage.” He also pleaded with the media, “Whatever my wrongdoings for the sake of my family please leave my wife and kids alone.”
