Slick Tiger Apologizes to Chevron

Tiger Woods found time in his self-imposed exile to reach out to the people who mean the most to him -- his sponsors.

Tiger dropped another note on to his website yesterday saying, "As the final round of the Chevron World Challenge begins, I would like to extend my heartfelt thank you to everyone affiliated with the event, especially our amazing title sponsor, Chevron."

Tiger also thanked "all of our supporting sponsors" as well as the staff who worked on the event -- and then apologized to everyone saying, "I am so grateful to them for their efforts, and I am sincerely sorry I was unable to fulfill my duties as host and player in this important event."
