(CNN) -- Tiger Woods has revealed at that he is "more at peace" with his life following a difficult year on and off the golf course, and he is now hoping to re-establish himself as a major force in the sport.
The American faces the prospect of losing the No. 1 ranking he has held for five years before returning to action at the HSBC Champions event in China early next month.
But the 34-year-old, who divorced wife Elin Nordegren in August following his admitted infidelities, is encouraged by his improved form on the final day of the Ryder Cup earlier this month as he implements further changes to his technique.
"I'm a lot more at peace now. Everyone's getting used to the new living conditions. The kids are adjusting. I think everyone's certainly more at peace, and so am I, too," he told reporters on Tuesday at a press conference for December's Chevron World Challenge tournament, which he hosts.
