(CNN) -- Tiger Woods says he's taking "an indefinite break" from professional golf, according to a statement on his Web site Friday.
"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," Woods said in the statement. "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."
The 33-year-old golfer, who tops the sport's world rankings, has been mired in controversy since he crashed his car outside his Florida mansion late last month. The crash prompted authorities to cite him for careless driving and fine him $164.
Woods was not required to talk to police about the wreck, and declined to talk with investigators on several occasions. See the statement on Woods' Web site
In the week following the crash, Woods apologized for "transgressions" that let his family down, on the same day that gossip magazine US Weekly published a report alleging that Woods had an affair with a 24-year-old cocktail waitress named Jaimee Grubbs.
fuck everyone hating on tiger woods. people are jealous as a motherfucker. a black man comes from nothing, beats the white man at his most exclusive sport, makes billions of dollars and then proceeds to fuck 7 white women at once. tell me you wouldn't do the same thing. sucks for his family, but what senator or other celebrity isn't doing the same shit? tiger just got caught. it'd be better if he was just like "yup, i did it, and i'll do it again. i'm human."
