Tiger Woods is praising the actions of his wife Elin Nordegren and denying rumors that he was cheating with another woman after crashing his car near his house in Orlando on Friday, (November 27th). In a post on his website Sunday (November 30th), the 33-year-old golf champion said, “This situation is my fault and it’s obviously embarrassing to my family and me. I’m human and I’m not perfect. I will certainly make sure this doesn’t happen again.”

• The National Enquirer and other gossip sites reported that Woods had left his home after a physical altercation with his wife over his alleged affair with a New York club hostess named Rachel Uchitel. He reportedly suffered wounds on his face, which if caused by his wife, could lead to charges. Some gossip sites speculate that Woods is refusing police interviews so that his injuries cannot be assessed.
• Woods countered, “This is a private matter and I want to keep it that way. Although I understand there is curiosity, the many false, unfounded and malicious rumors that are currently circulating about my family and me are irresponsible.”
• He continued: “The only person responsible for the accident is me. My wife, Elin, acted courageously when she saw I was hurt and in trouble. She was the first person to help me. Any other assertion is absolutely false. This incident has been stressful and very difficult for Elin, our family and me. I appreciate all the concern and well wishes that we have received. But, I would also ask for some understanding that my family and I deserve some privacy no matter how intrusive some people can be.”
