LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- The last interview with Tiger Woods before his sex scandal exploded over the last two weeks is about to go public.

The eight-minute interview, taped at the Australian Masters tournament in November, will run on New Zealand’s Sky TV’s “Deaker on Sport” on Tuesday night and features the golfer talking about the importance of his family – just weeks before his current scandal would make his self-described “personal sins” a public circus.

“It’s been great, actually, it’s been the best thing that ever happened,” Tiger said of his family in a clip from the interview.

“They’ve got my wife’s stubbornness, so that’s enough,” a smiling Tiger added of his two children with Elin Nordegren.

“Family first, then golf second – always been like that?” Sky TV’s Murray Deaker asked Tiger at the end of the clip.

“Always,” Tiger responds, looking somber.
