Tiger Woods says he has let his family down and regrets "those transgressions with all of my heart."
In a statement Wednesday on his Web site, Woods says he has not been "true to my values and the behavior 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. Grubbs claims to have proof in 300 text messages.
Wednesday morning, the magazine published what it said was a voicemail provided by Grubbs that she said was left by Woods on Nov. 24, three days before his early morning car crash outside his home near Orlando.
In his statement, Woods did not offer details of any alleged relationship.
"I will strive to be a better person and the husband and father that my family deserves," he said.
He also said he has been "dismayed to realize the full extent of what tabloid scrutiny really means."
Despite the "intense curiosity" about his life, Woods said "there is an important and deep principle at stake which is the right to some simple, human measure of privacy."

Jaimee Grubbs, 24, told the magazine that she began having an affair with Woods in April 2007 and has since had 20 sexual encounters with the golfer.
Gadzooks!!!!!!! Please people, why should we care? This is a private situation between Tiger and his wife.
who cares!
I don't see where he admits to anything. I also was leaving my house about 2:30 am that day, but was going to Wal mart for Christmas deals. Why can't THAT be where he was headed? EVERYONE goes to Walmart...
Where Tiger felt that there should have been pride in his accomplishments he gets no respect . His wife even abused him with his favorite 9 iron .
Level_Headed, one report stated that he wasn't wearing shoes. I know Walmart may be somewhat liberal but I think they do require shoes and a shirt. Now in your defense, there may of been shoes in the Caddy that were not reported. Heard there was rumor of a Big Bertha sticking in the back window. That may of been his incentive to leave the yard rather quickly.
Hope he talked to Jeff Gordon before he chose to get married and establish residence in Florida (community property state.)
