Tiger Woods issues statement on crash

November 29, 2009

Tiger Woods, who crashed his car into a neighbor’s tree early Fridaymorning, released the following statement Sunday afternoon on his Web site.

“As you all know, I had a single-car accident earlier this week, andsustained some injuries. I have some cuts, bruising and right now I’m prettysore.

This situation is my fault, and it’s obviously embarrassing to my family andme. I’m human and I’m not perfect. I will certainly make sure this doesn’thappen again.

This is a private matter and I want to keep it that way. Although Iunderstand there is curiosity, the many false, unfounded and malicious rumorsthat are currently circulating about my family and me are irresponsible.

The only person responsible for the accident is me. My wife, Elin, actedcourageously when she saw I was hurt and in trouble. She was the first person tohelp me. Any other assertion is absolutely false.

This incident has been stressful and very difficult for Elin, our family andme. I appreciate all the concern and well wishes that we have received. But, Iwould also ask for some understanding that my family and I deserve some privacyno matter how intrusive some people can be.
