Agent: Tiger Woods’ Family Needs Time to Recover

Tiger Woods' agent Mark Steinberg has released a statement to ET about Tiger’s surprise decision to take a break from golf following his admission of infidelity.

“As his agent and friend, I stand fully behind Tiger and support his decision wholeheartedly," Steinberg says. "What Tiger and his family need now is time away and private space so that they can recover from all that’s happened and try to restore some well-being to their lives.

”The entirety of someone’s life is more important than just a professional career. What matters most is a young family that is trying to cope with difficult life issues in a secluded and caring way. Whenever Tiger may return to the game should be on the family’s terms alone.
