Tiger Woods admits to affair, says sorry

Thousand Oaks: Tiger Woods said on Wednesday he has let his family down and regrets "those transgressions with all of my heart".

In a statement, Woods said he has not been "true to my values and the behaviour my family deserves".

He offered his "profound apology" to his supporters.

His comments came after Us Weekly magazine published a cover story alleging that a Los Angeles cocktail waitress had a 31-month affair with the world's No 1 golfer.

Jaimee Grubbs told the magazine she met Woods at a Las Vegas nightclub the week after the 2007 Masters — two months before Woods' wife, Elin Nordegren, gave birth to their first child.

Yesterday, the magazine published what it said was a voicemail provided by Grubbs that she said was left by Woods on November 24, three days before his early morning car crash outside his home near Orlando.
