Tiger Woods to slink off into the sunset...

He admits he was unfaithful and does what most celebrities do, either take a temporary break or go into rehab...From his website, www.tigerwoods.com.

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. I need to focus my attention on being a better husband, father, and person.

Again, I ask for privacy for my family and I am especially grateful for all those who have offered compassion and concern during this difficult period.

Society seems to dictate that a penance time period be served, after an apology is written, it worked for Kobe, Vick and many more as to scenairos where it was felt the fans would never forgive, but? They do...and before you know it? Family photos of the Woods family enjoying orlando vacations with everyone posing and happy for the cameras will be out there.

Nobody's perfect. Somebody should give him another chance. He's a great golfer and he had said his peace. Let's just hope that healing follows soon with his family. Rental Property Chicago
