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.
