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.
I don’t want to become as good as I once was. I want to become better.
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.
It's important to relax and not put too much pressure on oneself, players must be patient when striving to improve.
I want to be what I've always wanted to be: dominant.
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.
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 have a big-picture outlook, I am willing to fall, and I understand it's ok to fall, but I am going to get back up, I may take a step back, but in the end, I am going to take a giant leap forward.
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's a never-ending struggle, which is great. You can always get better! You can never get there. It's a journey with no arrival. And that's the beauty of it -- that you can always become better the next day. It's pretty cool to think about it in that sense. Tomorrow I will be a better player than I was today.
It was a mixed bag pretty much all week. A lot of really, really good stuff out there, some mediocre and some bad.
Golf is fluid. It's always changing. It's always evolving. First of all, you never master it.
There’s always stuff to work on. You’re never there.
The biggest thing is to have a mind-set and a belief you can win every tournament going in.
A golfer should never make a mental mistake because the ball is just sitting there waiting for you to hit it.
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.
if you gone come in second, you're just the first loser!
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.
It will always be the ball and me.
Golf is a great way for someone to learn discipline, responsibility and sportsmanship.?
Nobody could have prepared me for the life I've had to become accustomed to.
People thought it was asinine for me to change my swing after I won the Masters by 12 shots. ... Why would you want to change that? Well, I thought I could become better. If I play my best, I'm pretty tough to beat. I'd like to play my best more frequently, and that's the whole idea. That's why you make changes. I thought I could become more consistent.
Education is a priority over any sport because without a mind you can't contribute to society.
I get to play golf for a living. What more can you ask for - getting paid for doing what you love.
You can always become better.
