In his last interview before his sex scandal, Tiger Woods talked about the importance of family.
New Zealand sports commentator Murray Deaker chatted with the disgraced golfer, 33, in November for an eight-minute interview that was supposed to air on New Zealand's Sky TV's Deaker on Sport on Christmas Day. In light of the sex scandal, it will now broadcast Tuesday.
"It's been great, actually, it's been the best thing that ever happened," Woods said of his family in a clip from the interview, according to Access Hollywood.

Asked about Sam, 2, and Charlie, 10 months, his two children with wife Elin, Woods said, "They've got my wife's stubbornness, so that's enough."

"Family first and golf second. Always be like that?" Deaker also asked Woods.
"Always," the golfer replied.
Look back on Tiger Woods' worst week ever
On Friday, Woods -- who has been linked to at least 13 women -- released a statement saying he was "deeply aware of the disappointment and hurt that my infidelity has caused to so many people." He also said that he is taking an "indefinite break from professional golf. I need to focus my attention on being a better husband, father, and person."
Tell Us What You Think
37What kind of woman is proud of being a HO for some celebrity jerk using his money and fame to buy sex? People need to quit playing around on their spouses and just be a person of your word. Either your married or your not. Karma has a way of handeling HO's - you get out of life what you put into it..what goes around comes around in this circle of love & life..he's definately getting what he deserves now..smackdown of his huge ego that uses women like objects or parts for pleasure. Just another man who doesn't connect love with sex and thinks the world revolves around his penis..little mind- little man of worth. I wouldn't endorse, buy, or support anthing with his name on it again people. His children will now have to live with the knowledge of what he has done to their mother. Great legacy to leave for them Tiger..what shame for our youth. Family first my ass..Me first is what his actions show.
What a crock..people need to quit thinking it's OK to have compulsive sexual relations outside of ones primary relationship. If you can't keep your eyes in your head and your dick in your pants.or the reverse of that- then your a baby playing sexual games with someone's heart. NO morals no character no conscious..I hope she teaches him a very big lesson in life..you get what you give and now he's getting what he deserves..a load of sh-- as he gave a bucket full of crap to her..just saying Karhma has a way of handling jerks. Man Ho or Chick Ho..someday your gonna slip and loose it..get smacked down hard as deserved.
What a sad man who needs validation from HO's to get his selfworth when he has a family at home. Half assed effort at being a married man, full tilt effort a being a man with no character. Just a power hungry man using women as objects for decoration, affection, and pleasure only..Sicko. I hope he looses his sponsorships, his fame , and his money. I wouldn't endorse, buy,or patronize anything tied to this man and his fame again. What a disgrace for our youth. Sends the mesage that celebrities are not responsible for what they do..the money and fame game made them insane..lameass HO is what he is.
Enough is enough, time to shut off from Tiger. I am not perfect nor are any of you ! ! !
Soothsayer: Works for me!
Does Tiger have parents? I wonder how his family is reacting. This will not be a happy Christmas for them, see how cheating causes pain that keeps on hurting?
Kinda hard to keep something like this quiet. Uh em ya..I'm sure there was an arrangement, that's why she was chasing him with a golf club.
How much do we know? Maybe Tiger and Elin had an arrangment where he could sleep with whomever he like and she in turn, lived the ultimately life as the wife of one of the most powerful athletes in the world. Elin is obviously a trophy bride and the chances that she didn't know that numerous affairs were happening is unlikely. Maybe divorce, not infidelity, is what put her over the edge. Whatever happened, I think the Woods family needs to keep this quiet and private for the sake of their children.
Maybe Tiger will commit suicide and all you people will be happy:-0
"Asked about Sam, 2, and Charlie, 10 months, his two children with wife Elin, Woods said, "They've got my wife's stubbornness, so that's enough." "Family first and golf second. Always," Family first huh ? Yeah Right. So much for Family First...NOT. Tiger is totally what do they call it.. Oh right.. DEAD MEAT !!
You go Glo, I know at least a dozen wives putting it out on a daily basis so don't just say we men are doing it every day! It's all about character, either you have it or you don't;-)
Elin is very pretty but men do run @ on gorgeous women too. Look at Farrah Fawcett,Jaclyn Smith (2 ex-husbands),Christie Brinkley ( 2 ex husbands), Jennifer Aniston...(and me!!) You never know....
"And by "family" he meant his purple-headed friend" LMAO! Apparently so.
What an adorable family picture. Just goes to show...you never know what is going on behind closed doors.
Yes Glo, men do have affairs, as do women. He has been married 5 years. Do you think it is normal for a man to have so many different women in those few years of marriage? What kind of people do you live around? Affairs are common, but his is a bit over the top. This man has a problem. I hope she kicks his butt to the curb soon. The man is trash.
How do you repair this?! I can't beleive, with such a beautiful wife by his side he fooled around with women that obviously look sleezy and low. I beleive everyone makes mistakes but he practically had everything.
Men are doing this everyday. Why is it such a big deal...oh because he's Tiger Woods. I'm so sick of this. While I do believe he did have an affair I also believe that most of the woman are lying. Oh and BTW I'm a woman. He had the affair and this is something he's going to have to live with...whats done is done and now its time to move on. Plus these woman are so pathetic. I have no pitty for them. And now all the sudden they want to talk about the afair because they know that one chick already got paid. I hope they get nothing!
And by "family" he meant his purple-headed friend
Obviously, Tiger always "comes" first.
What a pack of bull, and he even said all this with a streight face! Tiger you should be nominated for an oscar. You have lost all of your credibility on this, not because you cheated, because of all the bs you spewed and then we find out you screwed around with anything with a skirt on. Shame on you and I feel bad for your wife and kids. You will never be trusted or thought of the same from now on. If you ever play golf again.
