The lingerie model, who Tiger bedded in 2006 while he was still married to Swedish model Elin Nordegren, added: "Tiger is a good father. He's going through a difficult time. I think people should offer support instead of applauding his downfall. I just wish him the best and I hope to see a good outcome from all of this."

Meanwhile, Woods (41) apologised for his actions. "I understand the severity of what I did and I take full responsibility for my actions. I didn't realise the mix of medications had affected me so strongly. I would like to apologise with all my heart to my family, friends and the fans," Woods said.
