In the statement published on his website he said: “I have not been true to my values and the behavior my family deserves. I have let my family down and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart”.

Media reported that the golf player had extra-marital relationships with at least three women.

There are some companies that are standing by him, the companies that probably made him the world’s richest athlete, with a fortune estimated at $1 billion, companies such as Nike, AT&T and Gillette, Procter & Gamble.

Beth Gast of Nike Golf said: “Nike supports Tiger and his family. Our relationship remains unchanged”.

Tiger Woods was accused of having an affair with a 24-year-old cocktail waitress from California, Jaimee Grubbs, who said she had saved hundreds of text messages to prove it.

Voicemail message from Woods to Grubbs:

‘I AM FAR SHORT OF PERFECT’

“I am not without faults and I am far short of perfect. I am dealing with my behavior and personal failings behind closed doors with my family. Those feelings should be shared by us alone, personal sins should not require press releases and problems within a family shouldn’t have to mean public confessions.”

Another woman was Rachel Uchitel, who denied any such relationship.

Woods said in an article on his website that “utterly false and malicious” reports were made and his wife, Elin Nordegren,  ”has always done more to support our family and shown more grace than anyone could possibly expect”.
