Tiger Woods

My dad was my best friend and greatest role model. He was an amazing dad coach mentor soldier husband and friend.

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.

I remember there was a time when people were saying I could never win again.

I enjoy what I do.

Businesswise everything's been good.

The Masters is where I won my first major and I view this tournament with great respect. After a long and necessary time away from the game I feel like I'm ready to start my season at Augusta.

I don't make any rules.

I'm aware if I'm playing at my best I'm tough to beat. And I enjoy that.

The thing you don't dream about as a kid is all the peripheral stuff that comes with success.

I lost my ability to will things to happen.

Hopefully I'll continue to have the success I've had.

Everyone wants to get a piece of me.

There are golfers everywhere who may never get a chance to play a links course in Scotland a tree-lined course in America or the sand belts of Australia. Hopefully I can bring some of those elements into their backyards.

Golf is evolving every day every shot.

I ran straight through the boundaries a married couple should live by.

All that really matters is I have two beautiful kids and I'm trying to be the best dad I can possibly be and that's the most important thing of all.

I love to compete. That's the essence of who I am.

I've always had that knack for staying pretty even keel and the more the situation gets tense the more I see things clearly and I think that's just a knack that I've always had.

Personal sins should not require press releases and problems within a family shouldn't have to mean public confessions.

It will always be the ball and me.

I don't get to live by different rules. The same boundaries that apply to everyone apply to me.

My main focus is on my game.

I always come from truth.

As you all know I'm kind of a perfectionist.

I've done some pretty bad things in my life.

I'm all or nothing.

The major championships have always been a special focus in my career and as a professional I think Augusta is where I need to be.

I've been a gamer all my life.

Everyone knows what the Masters is even if you're a non-golfer. People know what Wimbledon is. They know what the Super Bowl is. There are certain events that people just know about.

I was living a life of a lie I really was.

There's no sense in going to a tournament if you don't believe that you can win it. And that is the belief I have always had. And that is not going to change.

I really don't feel like playing anymore.

I have let my family down and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart.

People don't really bother me as much as you might think.

As a kid when I was growing up as any kid you think you know every thing and I was no different to that.

If you're lucky to have three close people in your life you're blessed.

Golf has made me and shaped me into the person I am here today.

I'm getting back to my old roots.

I saw a person that I never thought I would ever become.

Achievements on the golf course are not what matters decency and honesty are what matter.

I felt that I had worked hard my entire life and deserved to enjoy all the temptations around me. I felt I was entitled and thanks to money and fame I didn't have to go far to find them.

My father had always called me Sam since the day I was born. He rarely ever called me Tiger. I would ask him 'Why don't you ever call me Tiger?' He says 'Well you look more like a Sam.

My mother was right when she said that turning pro would take away my youth.

I am not without faults and I am far short of perfect.

I'm lucky to have been able to represent different companies over my career.

Every sport evolves. Every sport gets bigger and more athletic and you have to keep up.

Michael left because of the Bulls' management not because he'd lost his love of playing the game.

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.

There are still courses in the United States that I am not allowed to play because of the color of my skin.

In therapy I have learned the importance of keeping spiritual life and professional life balanced. I need to regain my balance.

People don't understand that when I grew up I was never the most talented. I was never the biggest. I was never the fastest. I certainly was never the strongest. The only thing I had was my work ethic and that's been what has gotten me this far.

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.

Life has been good.

I don't think golf has ever been any pressure as far as having to succeed.

I've gotten more buff.

I miss college.

I'll tell you what I've been in some seriously bad places playing golf and it's just part of the game.

I'd like to share my experiences and the lessons I've learned and hopefully create some amazing fun courses.

Money and fame made me believe I was entitled. I was wrong and foolish.

My kids are doing just great.

The amount of meetings I've been in - people would be shocked. But that's how you gain experience how you can gain knowledge being in meetings and participating. You learn and grow.

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.

Golf is me.
