Tiger Woods to Give Up Golf 'Indefinitely'

THE TELEGRAPH: Tiger Woods has announced that he is giving up golf "indefinitely" in an attempt to patch things up with his wife.

The world's number one player admitted, for the first time, cheating on wife Elin Nordegren and said he was giving up the game so that he could be a "better husband and person".

He said: "After much soul searching, I have decided to take an indefinite break from professional golf. I need to focus my attention on being a better husband, father, and person.

"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." >>> Nick Allen in Los Angeles | Saturday, December 12, 2009
