Tiger Woods admits 'living life of a lie' in stunning first TV interview

Disgraced golf great Tiger Woods admits he was "living life of a lie" - and hurting "a lot of people" - in a stunning and frank interview that aired Sunday night.
The golf legend apologized for carrying on affairs with more than a dozen women in a sit-down interview with ESPN.
"I was living a life of a lie, I really was. And I was doing a lot of things that hurt a lot of people," he said.
"And stripping away denial and rationalization, you start coming to the truth of who you really are and that can be very ugly," he said.
Woods said he can't wait to get back to the links at next month's Masters tournament in Georgia.
"I'm excited to get back and play," he said.
But he admitted to some butteflies.
"I'm a little nervous about that to be honest with you. It would be nice to hear a couple claps here and there," he said.
The ESPN interview took place at an undisclosed location near his mansion in suburban Orlando, Fla.
Woods took questions from a reporter for the first time since the scandal broke last November.
He also spoke to the Golf Channel in an interveiw that aired at the same time.
The cheating scandal first exploded into the public eye last Thanksgiving when Woods crashed his SUV outside his home.
Reports soon surfaced of affairs with a tawdry collection of pin-up models and party girls.
Woods' wife, Scandinavian stunner Elin Nordegren, has been living separately from him with their two children.
The golfer has stayed in seclusion ever since and attended sex addiction therapy at a clinic in Mississippi.
The therapy has made him stronger, he said.
"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," he said.
