Tiger Woods yesterday in an interview on ESPN Radio, said he’s an “infinitely” happier person now than he was a year ago, though the events that brought him to where he is now were difficult and painful.

Woods, who acknowledged extramarital affairs that cost him three major endorsements and eventually led to his divorce from Elin Nordegren, said his children are now his top priority and that he’s been pleasantly surprised by the support of his fans and close friends.

“[I’m] just more clear, more clear about my perspective, who I am, where I want to go,” he said. “It’s amazing how much better I feel internally each and every day.”

In the past two years, Woods, 34, said he was frustrated and angry on the golf course.

“I wasn’t happy with who I was,” he said. “I was doing things morally, inside, I knew I shouldn’t be doing.”

Woods, winner of 14 major championships, said he still wants to pass Jack Nicklaus’ record of 18 major titles, though he added with a laugh, “I have to play better.”
