Tiger Affairs?

Does the new statement released by Tiger Woods about extramarital affairs feel like a hoax to anyone else? The statement reads as follows;

I have let my family down and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart. I have not been true to my values and the behavior my family deserves. I am not without faults and I am far short of perfect. I am dealing with my behavior and personal failings behind closed doors with my family. Those feelings should be shared by us alone.

Although I am a well-known person and have made my career as a professional athlete, I have been dismayed to realize the full extent of what tabloid scrutiny really means. For the last week, my family and I have been hounded to expose intimate details of our personal lives. The stories in particular that physical violence played any role in the car accident were utterly false and malicious. Elin has always done more to support our family and shown more grace than anyone could possibly expect.

But no matter how intense curiosity about public figures can be, there is an important and deep principle at stake which is the right to some simple, human measure of privacy. I realize there are some who don't share my view on that. But for me, the virtue of privacy is one that must be protected in matters that are intimate and within one's own family. Personal sins should not require press releases and problems within a family shouldn't have to mean public confessions.

Whatever regrets I have about letting my family down have been shared with and felt by us alone. I have given this a lot of reflection and thought and I believe that there is point at which I must stick to that principle even though its difficult.

I will strive to be a better person and the husband and father that my family deserves. For all of those who have supported me over the years, I offer my profound apology.

So the FHP just closed the case on Tiger's accident and found no crime, spousal abuse, alcohol, nothing. Tiger never went outside his rights and didn't speak to police, or anyone for that matter, for reasons of privacy. He was hit up for $167 and four points on his driver's license. After all the silence lead to no criminal legal action and a fine he paid with loose bills found between his couch cushions he decides to break out a statement about marital indiscretions? Seems a little odd to me that he offered up essentially nothing about the accident with plenty of opportunity and clamoring for it and yet drops this bomb so freely. For a guy who wants his privacy that badly, and without being forced to, he picked a pretty poor time to go public about something completely unrelated to the crash.

Maybe I'm wrong and this is legit. Maybe Tiger has and listens to the worst PR guy in the world. Whatever the case may be the real ending of this story is the infallible are no longer such...Perfection was never more than perception.
