Golfer

I'm lucky to have been able to represent different companies over my career.

Don't force your kids into sports. I never was. To this day, my dad has never asked me to go play golf. I ask him. It's the child's desire to play that matters, not the parent's desire to have the child play. Fun. Keep it fun.

I think that in itself, if you're a true golfer, you'll see specific things you need to work on. Much cheaper than private lessons.

Winning is not always the barometer of getting better.

I started changing my swing in late 1999.

As a kid when I was growing up, as any kid, you think you know every thing and I was no different to that.

If you're lucky to have three close people in your life, you're blessed.

I don't believe that human beings can achieve ultimate enlightenment, because humans have flaws.

You can always become better.

America's a melting pot, all races, cultures, religious choices.

I get to play golf for a living. What more can you ask for - getting paid for doing what you love.

Personal sins should not require press releases and problems within a family shouldn't have to mean public confessions.

I want to be what I've always wanted to be: dominant.

I am definitely not a politician.

Every sport evolves. Every sport gets bigger and more athletic, and you have to keep up.

If you are given a chance to be a role model, I think you should always take it because you can influence a person's life in a positive light, and that's what I want to do. That's what it's all about.

I'll tell you what, I've been in some seriously bad places playing golf and it's just part of the game.

You can win all the tournaments you want, but the majors are what you're remembered for. It's how you're measured as a champion in our sport. The majors are where it's at.

I do plan to return to golf one day, I just don't know when that day will be.

The virtue of privacy is one that must be protected in matters that are intimate and within one's own family.
