The former Masters champion said sorry for his actions and promised to channel his emotions in the future.
"I've obviously had some time to reflect, and want to again say I'm sorry to my fans and fellow competitors," the 39-year-old wrote on Instagram.
"What happened is not an example I want to set, and it's not who I truly am. I am an emotional player and while I believe that's one of my biggest strengths, it's also one of my biggest flaws.
"I'm focused on working hard to channel that emotion the correct way and to be the best me, learn from it and move forward. Thanks for all the support."
