Tiger Woods takes questions during a news conference after the practice round for the Barclays golf tournament in Paramus, New Jersey August 25, 2010. Woods said on Wednesday the break-up of his marriage was far more difficult for him than he had let on and that the fallout from his string of infidelities had poisoned his golf game. Woods, speaking to reporters for the first time since his divorce this week from his Swedish wife Elin Nordegren, also said he hopes he has learned to become a better person.
