Tiger Woods in first interview -- 'I was living a life of a lie' (video)

Golf star Tiger Woods gave his first TV interview since admitting to extramarital affairs on Sunday night, and he made one thing very clear -- trying to right some of the wrongs in his life was a top priority for him moving forward.

Talking to ESPN's Tom Rinaldi, Woods tried to put some his recent emotions into thoughts:

"I owe a lot of people an apology. I hurt a lot of people. Not just my wife. My friends, my colleagues, the public, kids who looked up to me. There were a lot of people that thought I was a different person and my actions were not according to that. That's why I had to apologize. I was so sorry for what I had done."

Tiger did not go into details about anything in his private life -- from his relationship with Elin Nordegren to the specifics of his rehab treatment -- but he agreed that he had been unfaithful multiple times and that his dishonesty supposedly ate him up inside:

"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."
