Money and fame made me believe I was entitled. I was wrong and foolish.
— Tiger Woods
Green and black go well together, don't they?
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.
Michael left because of the Bulls' management, not because he'd lost his love of playing the game.
I'm not as far along as Jack Nicklaus was at this age, but I'm trying.
I'm addicted. I'm addicted to golf.
I get to play golf for a living. What more can you ask for - getting paid for doing what you love.
I love to compete. That's the essence of who I am.
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.
My main focus is on my game.
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.
It will always be the ball and me.
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.
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 did envisage being this successful as a player, but not all the hysteria around it off the golf course.
There are still courses in the United States that I am not allowed to play because of the color of my skin.
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.
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.
And I don't cook, either. Not as long as they still deliver pizza.
I want to be what I've always wanted to be: dominant.
You can always become better.
I'm aware if I'm playing at my best I'm tough to beat. And I enjoy that.
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.
