Tiger Woods Takes Indefinite Break From Golf

Today in an official announcement on his website Tiger Woods declared that he is going to take an “Indefinite” break from Golf. Admitting of his infidelity and apologising for the same to his fans , followers and family, he has mentioned that he would take an indefinite break from professional golf to be a better husband, father and person. Here’s a direct quote of what he said…

“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. ”

I think Tiger’s moving out of professional golf would be a big blow to the game and PGA would be hit hard. Tiger actually had admirers even among non-golfers and many people would watch the game just for the sake of Tiger. Now that he has declared to move out of professional golf, it is to be seen if PGA as well as the other tournaments adopt to any damage control mechanism.
