"I need to focus my attention on being a better husband, father, and person," Woods said on his Web site Friday.

Woods and his wife, Elin, have been married five years and have a 2-year-old daughter and a 10-month-old son.

The announcement came a fortnight after Woods crashed his car into a tree outside his Florida home, setting in motion a stunning sequence of revelations that have now derailed the career of the world's No. 1 player, who for 13 years rarely made news off the golf course.
