I am a winner. I just didn't win today.
Happiness is a long walk with a putter.
Setting goals for your game is an art. The trick is in setting them at the right level - neither too low nor too high. A good goal should be lofty enough to inspire hard work, yet realistic enough to provide solid hope of attainment.
You expect success, you respect failure.
If you're serious about improving your play, be brutally honest with yourself.
Know your strengths and take advantage of them.
I can honestly say in my entire career, I've never gone around a golf course and not mis-hit a shot, but today I never missed a shot. I hit every driver perfect, every iron perfect. I'm in awe of myself.
You only get out of it what you put into it. If you are a sheep in this world, you're not going to get much out of it.
Aptitude starts with attitude.
When you're playing poorly, you start thinking too much. That's when you confuse yourself.
There is no room on the golf course for anger or self-pity.
I'm Allergic to grass. Hey, it could be worse. I could be allergic to beer.
I owe a lot to my parents, especially by mother and my father.
Play the shot you've got the best chance of playing well.
Aggressive play is a vital asset of the world's greatest golfers. However, it's even more important to the average player. Attack this game in a bold, confident, and determined way, and you'll make a giant leap toward realizing your full potential as a player.
You create your own luck by the way you play. There is no such luck as bad luck. Fate has nothing to do with success or failure, because that is a negative philosophy that indicts one's confidence, and I'll have no part of it.
I always wanted to be the best I could be at whatever I did. I didn't want to be the number one golfer in the world. I just wanted to be as good as I could be.
Every time you lose, you think that life's unfair. You think of the bad breaks. But when you're winning and playing well, you still get those bad breaks, only you overcome them. It just depends on how strong your mind is.
Our success is a direct result of knowing how to market a brand and having the right people representing the brand.
I've always lived to seize the moment, to squeeze every drop of expectation out of myself for whatever that moment gives you.
Sometimes things work out on the golf course and sometimes they don't. Life will go on. You try to understand what happens, but maybe today I don't want to know. I just screwed up so maybe I should just put it behind me.
It's not the victories that count to me. It's the quality of how you deliver your losses and the quality of how you deliver your victories.
Putting is a very personal affair.
My doctor asked me how many golf balls I had hit in my career. I'm lying there in bed calculating somewhere between four and five million golf balls I had hit to do that on my body.
I would say that it's quadruple what I've had when I've won major championships in the past. I've gotten faxes and phone calls from all over the world. It's been overwhelming. It's really changed my opinion of humanity.
