The golfer has announced that he will be stepping out “indefinitely” from the game that has made him billions of dollars, after a string of his extramarital affairs came to light.

According to his official bio, the 33-year-old, who became a professional golfer in 1996, has won 93 tournaments so far. A child prodigy, he appeared on the Mike Douglas Show when he was two and a half years old, putting with American comedian Bob Hope.
At 25, he became the first ever to hold all four professional major championships at the same time -the US PGA championship, US Open, Open Championship and US Masters. He is currently ranked as the world’s number one golf player.
Earlier this week, Woods announced on his website that he is taking an “indefinite hiatus from golf.”
“I need to focus my attention on being a better husband, father, and person,” he wrote following an ongoing sex scandal affecting his private life.”

I definitely cannot speak for anybody else, but It is my opinion all of the press that this saga is gaining is absurd. Tiger cheated on his wife, not golf. Really the only people he needs to please is going to be his loved ones in addition to sponsors. It is actually obvious why the guy ought to say i’m sorry and then try to make amends with Elin. His sponsors have paid plenty of cash marketing him. In addition to that, this is a personal household concern and he really should be permitted to take care of it behind closed doors. Everyone quite frankly doesn’t have the right to be told every last minimal aspect concerning everybody’s daily life, no matter what their celebrity status.
