Tiger Woods will tell his kids about his highly publicized infidelities that led to his failed marriage when they are old enough to understand everything.

The 39 year old professional golfer has spoken with Time magazine as per Mirror and revealed that he is already preparing to tell his kids- Sam, eight year old and six year old, Charlie, about his previous affairs that broke his marriage with ex-wife, Elin Nordegen. He said when they are old enough to understand, he will explain to them everything as he doesn't want them to learn the bitter truth from other people.

In the wake of the golfer's heavily publicized cheating scandal, Woods and Nordegen divorced in August 2010 after six years of marriage. Since the split, the couple decided to live separately. But although it was a hard time for the athlete, he took the necessary step to make his children somehow understand what is going on between him and their mother.  

"I've taken the initiative with the kids, and told them up front, 'Guys, the reason why we're not in the same house, why we don't live under the same roof, Mommy and Daddy, is because Daddy made some mistakes," Woods recalled to the magazine.

He said he took the chance to tell them about the situation as he doesn't want them to hear it from other people or from the internet. But when they will reach the right age and they can understand everything, Woods said he will tell them "absolutely everything."

Woods also revealed that he and his ex-wife are good friends right now. They still call each other and talk a lot of things, but their biggest priority are their kids.

After what he's been through, Woods admitted that the experienced made him realize that "honesty" is very important in a relationship. He said if he could have been an honest person before, things might have ended differently. He also said that if there is one thing he wishes he had done differently while married to Elin- that is a "more open, honest relationship."
