Tiger Woods Statement, Neighbor's 911 Call

Statement from Tiger Woods:

As you all know, I had a single-car accident earlier this week, and sustained some injuries. I have some cuts, bruising and right now I'm pretty sore.

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.

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.

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.

Why are there rumors?

They're filling the void where facts should be. Refusing to talk authorities, especially after promising to do so, is certainly strange.

Obviously, getting lawyered up is a sign that this isn't a simple matter.

Without being specific, Woods comments on being imperfect and places the blame for whatever happened on himself.

It must be incredibly difficult to have private matters play out in public. I guess that's the downside of fame and earning ONE BILLION DOLLARS.

Why be so afraid to come clean?

The public is very forgiving.

How much money does he need?
