Par 4

Reading from several sheets of paper, a contrite-looking Woods stood in front of a blue velvet curtain in a dark suit with no tie and spoke directly to the camera during the address, which came more than 80 days after a Thanksgiving car crash that set in motion a torrent of tabloid reports about Woods' many alleged infidelities.

Give this man a break, America.

In his on-camera statement, he apologized to his fans, his fellow golfers, his wife Elin, his children, family, sponsors and parents who've held the world's greatest golfer up as a model to their children. Stop passing judgment on someone that has done something thousands of other people have done in their life and just because he's the world's best golfer, makes millions a year, was sponsored by nike and endorsed by many companies the world wants to criticize him and make his life even more public now. The same thing has happened to other celebs in the past.. why does the media grasp for this kind of publicity? Have we come so far in society as to we are begging for adultery, divorce, cheating, etc. for public attention and ratings? My point is, other people have done this not only celebrities. Not only is he begging us to forgive him and put this in the past, but to leave him and his family alone. This is between a husband and a wife and should have stayed there to begin with. That's all.
