I hurt my wife, my kids, my mother, my wife's family, my friends, my foundation and kids all around the world who admired me.

Hockey is a sport for white men. Basketball is a sport for black men. Golf is a sport for white men dressed like black pimps.

I've had the luxury of playing golf around the world, and I've spent a lot of time evaluating how to play all kinds of courses.

Talent is something you are born with, and a skill is something you develop. 99% of what you need to succeed in golf are skills

In therapy I have learned the importance of keeping spiritual life and professional life balanced. I need to regain my balance.

Tiger, come on now, you've still got work to do. This round and golf tournament are not over. Hang in there and finish the race.

To have the opportunity to complete the slam at the Open at St Andrews, the home of golf, is something I will never ever forget.

I wake up every day and I can't wait to go to work, and that's a gift. Not too many people have the opportunity to feel that way.

I believe in myself. There's nothing wrong with believing in myself. That's the whole idea, is that you can always become better.

I am deeply aware of the disappointment and hurt that my infidelity has caused to so many people, most of all my wife and children.

You don't know where a sport can take you, so I want to make sure that I have an education behind me in case things don't work out.

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.

The major championships have always been a special focus in my career and, as a professional, I think Augusta is where I need to be.

The major championships have always been a special focus in my career, and as a professional, I think Augusta is where I need to be.

A lot of times I blend in a little bit easier because I'm not like a basketball player who's going to stand out because of his height.

Younger guys now are all working out, and you find that if everyone's doing it and you're not doing it, you're going to be left behind.

No matter how you play the golf course, no matter how well you play, you're going to have to make 6 and 8 footers for par. It's just a given here.

All that really matters is I have two beautiful kids, and I'm trying to be the best dad I can possibly be, and that's the most important thing of all.

There are guys on Tour who hit the ball further than me. I always thought it was important to have power, but more important to have power in reserve.

My dad once told me: no matter what anyone says or writes, really, none of those people have to hit your four- foot putt.You have to go do it yourself.

As a kid, I might have been psycho, I guess, but I used to throw golf balls in the trees and try and somehow make par from them. I thought that was fun.

My dad has always taught me these words: care and share. That's why we put on clinics. The only thing I can do is try to give back. If it works, it works.

I'm trying as hard as I possibly can each and every day to get my life better and better and stronger. And if I win championships along the way, so be it.

I don't see myself a Great Black Hope. I'm just a golfer who happens to be black and Asian. It doesn't matter whether they're white, black, brown or green.

When you look at all of the great players who ever played the game, they all had that other gear that they could go to, and it makes a world of difference.

It's just a matter of, for me, getting my mind where it needs to be. Certainly I've made a lot of adjustments in my life, and I've gone through a lot. A lot.

There's no sense in going to a tournament if you don't believe that you can win it. And that is the belief I have always had. And that is not going to change.

I stopped living according to my core values. I knew what I was doing was wrong but thought only about myself and thought I could get away with whatever I wanted to.

In order to hit a good golf shot at that moment in time when you're standing over the ball, you must believe that golf shot is the most important things in your life.

When things go right and you test properly and you find equipment that's better than what you were playing, then you can do some pretty neat things on the golf course.

No matter who you are, the game is fluid. The game is always evolving, so you always have to keep working on it. There are plenty of hours in the day to get that done.

I probably will have to become more political down the road when my playing days are done, because I'm going to have to have the support of others to grow my foundation.

The joy I get from winning a major championship doesn't even compare to the feeling I get when a kid writes a letter saying: 'Thank you so much. You have changed my life.'

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've always had that knack for staying pretty even keel and the more the situation gets tense the more I see things clearly and I think that's just a knack that I've always had.

You've got to figure out what works best for you. That's the hard part. I know I can't play as stoic as Hogan, and I can't talk as much as Trevino. You have to be your own person.

My dad was a big believer of having a golf club that fit me. Always have a golf club that fits you, so you don't have to make any swing compensations for that particular golf club.

The greatest thing about tomorrow is, I will be better than I am today...There is no such thing as a setback. The lessons I learn today I will apply tomorrow, and I will be better.

Seve was one of the most talented and exciting golfers to ever play the game. His creativity and inventiveness on the golf course may never be surpassed. His death came much too soon.

Everyone knows what the Masters is, even if you're a non-golfer. People know what Wimbledon is. They know what the Super Bowl is. There are certain events that people just know about.

The amount of meetings I've been in - people would be shocked. But that's how you gain experience, how you can gain knowledge, being in meetings and participating. You learn and grow.

I chase a little white ball around and work on my farmer tan, that's about it. I think that I've been lucky enough to represent some great companies, and I think maybe that's what it is.

I am not without faults and I am far short of perfect. I am dealing with my behavior and personal failings behind closed doors with my family. Those feelings should be shared by us alone.

My father had always called me Sam since the day I was born. He rarely ever called me Tiger. I would ask him, 'Why don't you ever call me Tiger?' He says, 'Well, you look more like a Sam.

There are a lot of great players from Europe who have never played Augusta, but all the guys in America have all played St. Andrews. They've gone over and made a trip to play St. Andrews.

As a child growing up, you never thought about being in a videogame, then to have a game of your own and be lucky enough to set the bar with it in the gaming world, it's a dream come true.

I felt that I had worked hard my entire life and deserved to enjoy all the temptations around me. I felt I was entitled, and thanks to money and fame, I didn't have to go far to find them.

I always feel pressure. If you don't feel nervous, that means you don't care about how you play. I care about how I perform. I've always said the day I'm not nervous playing is the day I quit.

I love to play golf, and that's my arena. And you can characterize it and describe it however you want, but I have a love and a passion for getting that ball in the hole and beating those guys.

The Masters is where I won my first major, and I view this tournament with great respect. After a long and necessary time away from the game, I feel like I'm ready to start my season at Augusta.
