"&lt;img style=\"margin-right: 15px; float: left; margin-bottom: 15px;\" alt=\"Break\" src=\"http://ll-media.tmz.com/2012/05/03/break-1.jpg\" /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tiger Woods&lt;/strong&gt; has just announced he'll be taking an \"&lt;strong&gt;indefinite break&lt;/strong&gt;\" from &lt;strong&gt;golf&lt;/strong&gt; -- and for the first time, he admits to acts of \"infidelity.\"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Woods just released the following statement on &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://web.tigerwoods.com/news/article/200912117801012/news/\"&gt;his website&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;\"&lt;em&gt;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. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After much soul searching, I have decided to take an indefinite break from professional golf. I need to focus my attention on being a better husband, father, and person. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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&lt;/em&gt;.\"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;UPDATE:&lt;/strong&gt; Golf fun fact -- when Tiger was out of golf for eight months last year while recovering from reconstructive knee surgery, TV ratings dropped 50 percent while he was out of commission. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;\n&lt;h3&gt;&lt;iframe width=\"175\" height=\"120\" style=\"margin: 5px 20px 20px 5px; float: left; margin-right: 20px;\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" border=\"0\" src=\"http://webcenter.polls.aol.com/modular.jsp?template=1175&amp;amp;view=181838&amp;amp;pollId=182130&amp;amp;channel=tmz.com3\"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
