And stripping away denial and rationalization you start coming to the truth of who you really are and that can be very ugly,” Tiger gushed to Tom in is a five-minute long interview, “But then again, when you face it and you start conquering it and you start living up to it, the strength that I feel now ... I've never felt that type of strength.”
