For Tiger Woods, the year 2010 was forgettable on both professional and personal fronts. It was the first year he didn’t win a title on the PGA Tour since his debut. He also went through a divorce from Elin Nordegren after admitting to infidelity.

In November 2009, he crashed his SUV into a tree near his home while under the influence of alcohol. Following the car crash, Woods didn’t face the media for several months until March 2010. Ahead of his press conference, he appeared apprehensive and admitted to having done “bad things” in his life.

“I hurt a lot of people, not just my wife,” he said as per ESPN. “My friends, my colleagues, the public, kids who looked up to me. There were a lot of people that thought I was a different person and my actions were not according to that. That’s why I had to apologize. I was so sorry for what I had done.”

“It was really tough to look at yourself in a light you never want to look at yourself, that’s pretty brutal,” he added.

For the uninitiated, Woods and Elin got married in 2004 and are parents to Charlie Woods and Sam Woods.
