My dad was my best friend and greatest role model. He was an amazing dad, coach, mentor, soldier, husband and friend.Collection: Best
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.Collection: Life
I get to play golf for a living. What more can you ask for - getting paid for doing what you love.Collection: Business
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.Collection: Men
My dad used to say, 'Just because you dress up in a coat and tie, it doesn't influence your intelligence.'Collection: Intelligence
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.Collection: Sports
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.Collection: Experience
People don't understand that when I grew up, I was never the most talented. I was never the biggest. I was never the fastest. I certainly was never the strongest. The only thing I had was my work ethic, and that's been what has gotten me this far.Collection: Work
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.Collection: Change
Well, you know, a lot of people look at the negative things, the things that they did wrong and - which I do. But I like to stress on the things I did right, because there are certain things that I like to look at from a positive standpoint that are just positive reinforcement.Collection: Positive
My mom was tough.Collection: Mom
My failures have made me look at myself in a way I've never wanted to before.
For many my behavior has been a major disappointment, my behavior has caused considerable worry to my business partners, and everyone involved in my business, but most importantly to the young people we influence, I apologize.
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.
I'm committed to try to make the product the best I possibly can.
Golf has made me and shaped me into the person I am here today.
I did envisage being this successful as a player, but not all the hysteria around it off the golf course.
It will always be the ball and me.
Michael left because of the Bulls' management, not because he'd lost his love of playing the game.
If money titles meant anything, I'd play more tournaments. The only thing that means a lot to me is winning. If I have more wins than anybody else and win more majors than anybody else in the same year, then it's been a good year.
Money and fame made me believe I was entitled. I was wrong and foolish.
I don't get to live by different rules. The same boundaries that apply to everyone apply to me.
In therapy I have learned the importance of keeping spiritual life and professional life balanced. I need to regain my balance.
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.
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.
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.
I lost my ability to will things to happen.
I look at a streak as I don't lose - literally.
I always come from truth.
I remember there was a time when people were saying I could never win again.
I've gotten more buff.
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 have been fortunate to have my game peak at the right times.
I've exceeded a few of my goals, but I'm behind on a couple of others.
Hopefully I'll continue to have the success I've had.
I'd like to share my experiences and the lessons I've learned and hopefully create some amazing, fun courses.
There are golfers everywhere who may never get a chance to play a links course in Scotland, a tree-lined course in America or the sand belts of Australia. Hopefully I can bring some of those elements into their backyards.
All I can say is that I'm getting married in the future. I've narrowed it down to that.
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.
I have not been true to my values and the behavior my family deserves.
I ran straight through the boundaries a married couple should live by.
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.
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.
I believe in Buddhism. Not every aspect, but most of it. So I take bits and pieces.
I was living a life of a lie, I really was.
I really miss a lot of my friends out there.
Life has been good.
Businesswise, everything's been good.
My kids are doing just great.
I'm lucky to have been able to represent different companies over my career.
