Video: Tiger Woods’ first TV interview
[HTML1]
Tiger Woods gave his first interview to ESPN and the Golf Channel since his infidelities scandal broke last year. When asked how well the world knows him now, Woods replied:
A lot better now. I was living a life of a lie. I really was. And I was doing a lot of things, like I said, that hurt a lot of people. And stripping away denial and rationalization you start coming to the truth of who you really are and that can be very ugly. But then again, when you face it and you start conquering it and you start living up to it. The strength that I feel now, I’ve never felt that type of strength.
Check out the full five-minute interview transcript with ESPN’s Tom Rinaldi under the cut.
