( CNN ) -- Tiger Woods has been told to go on television to try to finally end the controversy that has forced the world 's No . 1 golfer to take an `` indefinite break '' from the sport . The American superstar announced on his Web site on Friday that he was taking time out to resolve the issues caused by his `` infidelity '' to wife Elin , having been mired in controversy since he crashed his car outside his Florida mansion late last month . Since then , several women have come forward to claim having had liaisons with Woods . Woods ' compatriot and fellow golfer John Daly , who has battled gambling and alcohol addiction and also been married four times , believes the 33-year-old should tell all on a television program such as the Oprah Winfrey Show , the UK Press Association reported . `` It 's tough and it 's going to be tough on him , but if I was him and Elin , I would go to Oprah , get on a show , get this thing aired out , tell the truth , '' former major winner Daly said . Blog : Woods can not erase this stain . `` And then it does n't matter what the media says anymore because it 's all out in the open and it would be a big sigh of relief for both of them . '' British publicist Max Clifford , whose clients have included the likes of magician David Copperfield and television mogul Simon Cowell , agreed that Oprah would provide the best platform . `` Hopefully he can go on something like Oprah , maybe even with his wife , to show that they 're making a real go of it , '' Clifford said . `` The clever move would be for him to say , ' I 'm coming back when Elin tells me the time is right . ' That would be the masterstroke . `` The golf world will miss him more than he will miss them because you 're taking the world 's top player out , the biggest attraction , the one that everyone wants to see way , way above everybody else . `` That will encourage all of his fans to say , 'Come on Tiger , when are you coming back ? ' The demand for him to come back will get greater and greater . '' Former European No . 1 Colin Montgomerie , who was second behind Woods at the 2005 British Open , believes that the 14-time major winner now seems a little less perfect . `` He is suddenly , I hate to say , more normal now , '' the Ryder Cup captain told the BBC Web site . `` There is a mystique which has been lost now and let 's hope that golf is n't damaged by that , and it should n't be . `` There was an aura , and that wall has been split slightly , so there are cracks and I feel that it gives us more opportunity of winning these big events now . ''
