Tiger Woods' Statement: " I brought this shame on myself" ; "I'm Deeply Sorry"

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. (AP) -Tiger Woods told his family, friends and fans that he is "deeply sorry'' for his selfish and irresponsible behavior.

Woods spoke from the clubhouse at the TPC Sawgrass, home of the PGA Tour. About 40 people were in the room, including his mother. His wife Elin was not present.

The world's No. 1 golfer had not talked in public since his traffic accident Nov. 27 triggered shocking revelations about Woods' infidelity.

Friday's event was tightly controlled, with only a few journalists allowed to watch Woods live.

According to the PGA commissioner, Woods will return to therapy after Friday's events.
