Heading into the conversation, Woods started by saying, “I’ve told [Nordegren] this, I’ve taken the initiative with the kids, and told them up front.”

Having the joint custody of their children, Woods and Nordegren have made sure to not let the scar in their relationship affect the lives of the young ones. Going ahead in the conversation, Woods elaborated on his attempt to educate the children about the divorce.

“Guys, the reason why we’re not in the same house, why we don’t live under the same roof, Mommy and Daddy,” he said to his children. “Is because Daddy made some mistakes.”
