Tiger Woods apologized for his "selfish and foolish" affairs Friday in his first public statement since becoming the center of a sordid sex scandal.
Speaking from the PGA tour's TPC Sawgrass headquarters in Florida, a somber Woods said he was "deeply sorry for my irresponsible and selfish behavior."
