Tiger Woods Taking Indefinite Leave From Golf


Tiger’s off the PGA circuit for awhile, folks*. This just came in across the wire**. The following statement comes directly from the former undisputed worldly icon:

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 again to 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 their understanding. 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.

Wow. Can hardly blame the guy. If I were him, I’d probably already be taking a raging hot air balloon to nowhere rather than be anywhere near a golf course, millions of cameras, a freight train of reporters and drunk hecklers.

Expect golf ratings to soar … into a fiery tar pit.

Also, this is the final Tiger-Woods-Week-Ending-Post until the next one in 19 minutes. Best to put on a poncho.
