“When I'm swinging well, nobody hits the golf ball any better than I do.”

“Confidence is such a fragile and precious thing.”

“We might not make what athletes in other sports make, but we have greater longevity and we do have certain freedoms to do things they can't do. Like stay home one week and play the next week.”

“I slowly continued to compensate for the physical problems I was having and ended up completely destroying my swing, my set-up, my posture. Everything was gone.”

“I didn't do anything spectacular when I won the Open in 2001. I hit the ball good, not great. I putted good, not great, but I think I missed maybe two putts inside eight feet all week.”

“You do what you need to if you're serious about playing great golf.”

“But just like I've always said when people complain about tee times, 'I just want a tee time. Just give me one so I can play.'”

“The way I grew up playing, and the way most Americans have grown up, is that you hit the ball up in the air and then it stops where it lands.”

“I realize what it means to be financially comfortable, and I want to be that. But I'm lucky enough to be in that position. And I'm also careful. I save 38 percent of my earnings after expenses, before taxes.”
