Woods, hinting that his career could be done, gives fascinating long form interview to Time.

Excerpts below:

NASSAU, Bahamas -- Tiger Woods says he has a "fantastic" relationship with his ex-wife and he has taken steps to explain to his two children what happened to their marriage.

In a rare and extensive interview with Time magazine, Woods also shared the same sentiments about his future that he did Tuesday at the tournament he is hosting in the Bahamas. He still wants to play golf at the highest level, though he is resigned that it might not happen if the nerve damage in his back doesn't allow for it.

Seve Ballesteros to his family.

Woods, who turns 40 on Dec. 30, says he has told 8-year-old Sam and 6-year-old Charlie that his parents don't live in the same house because "Daddy made some mistakes."

"I just want them to understand before they get to the Internet age and they log on to something or have their friends tell them something," Woods said. "I want it to come from me so that when they come of age, I'll just tell them the real story.

"And so, that's part of the initiative -- 'Hey, it was my fault too. I was to blame' -- and so I'm taking initiative with the kids," he said. "I'd rather have it come from me as the source. And I can tell them absolutely everything so they hear it from me."

In the meantime, Woods said he is stressing to his children that they have two parents who love them.

His marriage crumbled at the end of 2009 when he was exposed for having multiple extramarital affairs, and Elin Nordegren divorced him the following August.

Woods endured leg injuries in 2011, got back to No. 1 in the world with eight victories in 2012 and 2013 and has been in a free fall because of back injuries since.

He had surgery to alleviate a pinched nerve the week before the 2014 Masters and has had two more procedures in the same spot over the past three months.

"One, I don't want to have another procedure," Woods told the magazine. "And two, even if I don't come back and I don't play again, I still want to have a quality of life with my kids. I started to lose that with the other surgeries."

Asked what he would have done differently before and after the scandal in his personal life, Woods said he would have had a more open, honest relationship with his wife.

"Having the relationship that I have now with her is fantastic," he said. "She's one of my best friends. We're able to pick up the phone, and we talk to each other all the time. We both know that the most important things in our lives are our kids. I wish I would have known that back then."

Woods last played on Aug. 23 when he tied for 10th and thought the pain he experienced was from his hip. Instead, it was a recurrence of his back problems. The uncertainty of his health has led to plenty of speculation that his career might be over.

"Anyone I've ever talked to who has had procedures like I've had, they say the same thing: you don't know," he said. "With a joint, you know. With a nerve, you just don't know. I've talked to Peyton [Manning] about his neck and what he's going through. It's tough as athletes, when you just don't know."

And if it's over?

"Put it this way. It's not what I want to have happen, and it's not what I'm planning on having happen," Woods said. "But if it does, it does. I've reconciled myself to it."

On other topics:

" Woods pointed out again that the chart of Jack Nicklaus he kept on his bedroom wall as a kid had nothing to do with the record 18 majors. It was related to age -- the first time Nicklaus broke 40, broke 80, won his first golf tournament, his first state amateur, his first U.S. Amateur and first U.S. Open.

"To me, that was important," he said. "This guy's the best out there and the best of all time. If I can beat each age that he did it, then I have a chance at being the best."

" He came to know the late Seve Ballesteros when the Spaniard was working with Butch Harmon and they would spend time together in Houston.

"We'd hit balls and then he'd show me short game, for hours," Woods said. "Then we'd go play 'til dark. It was awesome. To see how he could do it, and I could never do it. But I could take pieces. I'd ask him, but man, I couldn't do a lot of them. But I realized I don't have to do a lot of them. I can do it my way."

" Before the 2008 U.S. Open at Torrey Pines, which he won with shredded knee ligaments and two stress fractures his leg, Woods tried to wear a brace for nine holes at his home course in Southern California. It was his first time playing golf since the Masters, and the brace kept him from rotating. He lost eight balls in nine holes and shot 54.

"I'm grinding my butt off and I said, 'OK, you're the No. 1 player in the world and you just lost eight balls on a home course that you could play blindfolded,' and I shot a 54. This is going to be an interesting week," he said.

" He loves playing alone at the Medalist Golf Club in the evening because it reminded him of time he spent with his father as a kid. Woods said they would retreat to the far corner of the Seal Navy golf course in California.

"We'd be on the tee back there just hitting golf balls, not saying a word to each other," he said. "Going out in the evenings brings me back to that happy place."

Dude would have close to 30 majors by now if he just hadn't gotten married. If you're great at something, never get married. That's for the ordinary.

if he wasn't such an arrogant prick he would have called up butch harmon a long time ago.

considering his rise and fall i think steroids and the later injuries have to be considered. guy got so jacked up then just couldn't stay healthy.

he will never have the same level of success again because short games just don't hold up later in your career and his putting is one of the things that always saved him

When he lost to the Yanger, rumor is he was already being threatened / blackmailed with the release of these stories. Just 3 months later it all came out. A lot of his injury issues could be just as much due to stress as PED use.

His ex is very hot, and she must have had a good swing to do so much damage to him.

Double L taught Tiger how to play golf, but he ignored the advice I gave him about marriage. Just like how I taught Vladimir Klitschko how to box and he ignored my life lessons.

PEDs of some type. Look folks we all have a baseline and a peak we can hit drug free.
I was an athlete , tempted never touched the stuff.... Look at him now. If he was natural he'd still have the frame somewhat.
hell I know juicers who after juicing luckily maintained some size.
it was cheating and more than likely hgh

"Daddy made some mistakes..."

So sad... and the end of that sentence, "That's why mommy lives with my money and her Zumba instructor while I stare at the wall every night in my condo."

No strange tail is worth it. It doesn't matter if you have $800 million or $80,000.
