PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — An emotional Tiger Woods apologized repeatedly Friday for his "irresponsible and selfish behavior" in his first public statement since his affair scandal broke in November.
"I know I have bitterly disappointed all of you," said Woods in front of a select group of invites at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla. "I am embarrassed that I have put you in this position. I have a lot to atone for."
While his wife, Elin Nordegren, was seemingly missing from the small crowd, Woods said the couple is attempting to repair their marriage.
"Elin and I have started the process of discussing the damage done by my behavior," he said. "My real apology will not come in words. It will come in my behavior over time."
