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.
The greatest thing about tomorrow is, I will be better than I am today. And that's how I look at my life. I will be a better golfer, I will be a better person, I will be a better father, I will be a better husband, I will be a better friend. That's the beauty of tomorrow.
Golf is evolving, every day, every shot.
I treat golf as a sport. I let other people treat it like a hobby.
I don't just want to be the best black player or the best Asian player. I want to be the best golfer ever.
When things go right and you test properly and you find equipment that's better than what you were playing, then you can do some pretty neat things on the golf course.
I think the golf swing is all about rotation, all about trying to keep the club on plane.
It is technology. They all changed to a harder golf ball, so they gave up spinning on the greens. They all changed to longer drivers, bigger heads with hotter faces and lighter shafts. The problem is, the harder you hit it, the more control you lose.
In retrospect, golf for me was an apparent attempt to emulate the person I looked up to more than anyone: my father. He was instrumental in helping me develop the drive to achieve, but his role, as well as my mother's, was one of support and guidance, not interference.
No matter how you play the golf course, no matter how well you play, you're going to have to make 6 and 8 footers for par. It's just a given here.
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 did envisage being this successful as a player, but not all the hysteria around it off the golf course.
I do not look back at what might have been. If I did that, playing golf would drive me crazy.
I've had the luxury of playing golf around the world, and I've spent a lot of time evaluating how to play all kinds of courses.
We have a lot of fun every year, and I really enjoy being part of junior golf and the development of these players.
My dad was a big believer of having a golf club that fit me. Always have a golf club that fits you, so you don't have to make any swing compensations for that particular golf club.
St. Andrews by far is my favorite golf course in the world. It's where the game all started, it's why we have 18 holes instead of 22 and I think the history behind St. Andrews is amazing. There is no other golf course in the world that can say that every great player who has ever played the game has played that golf course.
I've been in some seriously bad places playing golf and it's just part of the game. You're going to hit bad shots, you're going to be in bad spots, and each course, when you learn it, you learn where not to go.
I hit a one-yard draw in there
Tiger, come on now, you've still got work to do. This round and golf tournament are not over. Hang in there and finish the race.
I love to play to win.
I am the toughest golfer mentally.
I'm addicted. I'm addicted to golf.
It's cool now to play golf.
You've got to figure out what works best for you. That's the hard part. I know I can't play as stoic as Hogan, and I can't talk as much as Trevino. You have to be your own person.
