Tiger Woods issued a second, even more heartfelt apology, admitting for the first time to cheating on his wife and saying he’s taking a break from professional golf to focus on improving himself.

“I am deeply aware of the disappointment and hurt that my infidelity has caused to so many people, most of all my wife and children,” the PGA pro says in a statement posted Friday on his Web site Friday. “I want to say again to everyone that I am profoundly sorry and that I ask forgiveness. It may not be possible to repair the damage I’ve done, but I want to do my best to try.

“I would like to ask everyone, including my fans, the good people at my foundation, business partners, the PGA Tour, and my fellow competitors, for their understanding. What’s most important now is that my family has the time, privacy, and safe haven we will need for personal healing.

“After much soul searching, I have decided to take an indefinite break from professional golf. I need to focus my attention on being a better husband, father, and person.

“Again, I ask for privacy for my family and I am especially grateful for all those who have offered compassion and concern during this difficult period.”

Woods, 33, previously apologized for unspecified “sins” and “transgressions.” A string of women have now come forward claiming to have had affairs with him.

Kendra Wilkinson and her husband, Indianapolis Colts player Hank Baskett, have welcomed their first child, a boy, Usmagazine.com has confirmed.

Hank Baskett IV, who weighed 9 lbs 5 oz, was born via C-section early Friday morning in Indianapolis.

“Mother and baby are doing well,” a source tells Us. “Kendra and Hank are very happy.”

Wilkinson, 24, and Baskett, 27, wed at the Playboy mansion in Los Angeles’ exclusive Holmby Hills in July — a month after they announced they were expecting.

She told Us Weekly the pregnancy wasn’t exactly planned.

“We always hinted to each other that we wouldn’t mind having kids soon,” she said. “We weren’t trying, but we didn’t use a condom that night.”

During her pregnancy, she said she was emotional and cried “over everything.”

She also said she was amazed at how her body changed. “I went from a size small sports bra to a size large sports bra,” she told Us. “These things just won’t stop growing!”

Despite the body changes, she said she loved being pregnant and couldn’t wait to be a mom.

“I want to make sure that my boy knows I’m there every step of the way,” she told Us. “I will be putting 100 percent of my love and time into my child.”

She added, “Finally, in my life, I feel needed, like my baby needs me. I’m very attached and bonded.”
