Woods didn't without delay reply to those reports, but his mea culpa sought to draw a line under a PR disaster which has damaged the golf greats squeaky clean and highly moneymaking image. In his statement on his website, Woods admitted he was far short of perfect and claimed I haven't been true to my values and the behaviour my folks merits. The star guaranteed to be a more rounded person and the hubby and dad my folks merits, but he also asked the media to leave him in peace. The statement came 5 days after Woods crashed his vehicle in peculiar circumstances on Fri. at 2:25 am outside his Florida home, where he lives with Elin, a 29-year-old previous Swedish model, and their 2 youngsters. Our relationship remains unvaried, the sports clothing giant recounted in a quick statement. Tiger and his folks have our support as they work thru this non-public matter, a Gatorade spokesman told CNN. Gillette, another giant sponsor of Woods, stated that they too hadn't modified their advertising strategy due to the news.

But Woods remains in tough territory, encircled by an assertive tabloid media. Rumours spread shortly after Fridays crash when Woods refused to chat to police, fueling conjecture he had been fleeing Elin after she became violently angry at reports he was seeing a New York club hostess. On Tues. , hostess Rachel Uchitel told tabloid papers she hardly knows 33-year-old Woods and never had a sexual affair with him. In the recording -- which couldn't be substantiated -- a man is heard pronouncing : Hey, its, uh, its Tiger. Are you able to please take your name off your phone? My better half went thru my telephone and should be calling you. At the end of the passing message, the nervous-sounding man says : Do this for me. In the meantime , Life and Style mag has a communication naming a Vegas club chief, Kalika Moquin, as a 3rd purported mistress. The sole good news for Woods this week has been the choice by police not to file legal charges over Fridays crash. Woods was issued Tues. with a slovenly driving citation and faces a fine of 164 greenbacks and 4 points on his license if convicted. But Florida police spokesman Kim Montes announced there had been inadequate proof for more significant charges and no claims of domestic violence were made.
