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.'
As a child, the family that I had and the love I had from my two parents allowed me to go ahead and be more aggressive, to search and to take risks knowing that, if I failed, I could always come home to a family of love and support.
The virtue of privacy is one that must be protected in matters that are intimate and within one's own family.
Golf is something I do selfishly for myself.
I'll tell you what, I've been in some seriously bad places playing golf and it's just part of the game.
Personal sins should not require press releases and problems within a family shouldn't have to mean public confessions.
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.
I don't believe that human beings can achieve ultimate enlightenment, because humans have flaws.
I've done some pretty bad things in my life.
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.
I really don't feel like playing anymore.
I'm aware if I'm playing at my best I'm tough to beat. And I enjoy that.
Golf is me.
I want to be what I've always wanted to be: dominant.
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.
America's a melting pot, all races, cultures, religious choices.
I'm getting back to my old roots.
The thing you don't dream about as a kid is all the peripheral stuff that comes with success.
I started changing my swing in late 1999.
I do plan to return to golf one day, I just don't know when that day will be.
Everyone wants to get a piece of me.
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.

Look, there are no shortcuts in golf, and there are no shortcuts in life. You have to work for it. Dream big and keep your dreams for yourself.
