Tiger Woods is taking an indefinite leave from golf to work on saving his marriage, using the word “infidelity” in a statement posted on his Web site on Friday.

“After much soul searching, I have decided to take an indefinite break from professional golf,” Woods said. “I need to focus my attention on being a better husband, father, and person.”

The announcement came two weeks after a car accident that set in motion a shocking downfall for the world’s No. 1 player, which has included morally ignoble allegations of numerous extramarital affairs.

“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. 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,” Woods said.
How long Woods will stay away from golf was unclear.
A year ago, he was out of golf for eight months while recovering from reconstructive knee surgery, and Golf TV ratings dropped 50 percent during his absence.

Woods and his wife, Elin, have been married for five years and have a 2-year-old daughter and 10-month-old son.
