Woods admits letting family down | Woods admits letting family down |
(20 minutes later) | |
Golf star Tiger Woods has apologised to his family, amid continuing speculation about his private life following a car crash last week. | |
"I have let my family down and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart," he said in a website statement. | |
"I have not been true to my values and the behaviour my family deserves." | |
Woods was found bleeding and semi-conscious after his car hit a fire hydrant and tree outside his home in Orlando, Florida. | |
He was found guilty of careless driving and fined. | |
The golfer denied rumours that physical violence played any role in the incident, saying they were "utterly false and malicious". | |
And he appealed for privacy for his family. | |
"Although I am a well-known person and have made my career as a professional athlete, I have been dismayed to realise the full extent of what tabloid scrutiny really means," he said in the statement. |
