My dad was my best friend and greatest role model. He was an amazing dad, coach, mentor, soldier, husband and friend.
Tiger Woods
Green and black go well together, don’t they?
Tiger Woods
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.
Tiger Woods
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.
Tiger Woods
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.
Tiger Woods
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.
Tiger Woods
Winning is not always the barometer of getting better.
Tiger Woods
Hockey is a sport for white men. Basketball is a sport for black men. Golf is a sport for white men dressed like black pimps.
Tiger Woods
You can always become better.
Tiger Woods
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.
Tiger Woods
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.
Tiger Woods
I remember there was a time when people were saying I could never win again.
Tiger Woods
I don’t believe that human beings can achieve ultimate enlightenment, because humans have flaws.
Tiger Woods
And I don’t cook, either. Not as long as they still deliver pizza.
Tiger Woods
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.
Tiger Woods
I’m addicted. I’m addicted to golf.
Tiger Woods
I do plan to return to golf one day, I just don’t know when that day will be.
Tiger Woods
I’ve exceeded a few of my goals, but I’m behind on a couple of others.
Tiger Woods
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.
Tiger Woods
Golf has made me and shaped me into the person I am here today.
Tiger Woods
I did envisage being this successful as a player, but not all the hysteria around it off the golf course.
Tiger Woods
The virtue of privacy is one that must be protected in matters that are intimate and within one’s own family.
Tiger Woods
I mean, as an athlete, as a competitor, you have to have that belief in yourself.
Tiger Woods
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.
Tiger Woods
My dad used to say, ‘Just because you dress up in a coat and tie, it doesn’t influence your intelligence.’
Tiger Woods
Golf is me.
Tiger Woods
I want to be what I’ve always wanted to be: dominant.
Tiger Woods
I’m going to try to keep getting better.
Tiger Woods
Achievements on the golf course are not what matters, decency and honesty are what matter.
Tiger Woods
All I can say is that I’m getting married in the future. I’ve narrowed it down to that.
Tiger Woods
For many my behavior has been a major disappointment, my behavior has caused considerable worry to my business partners, and everyone involved in my business, but most importantly to the young people we influence, I apologize.
Tiger Woods
Sensationalism sells: Don’t let the facts get in the way of a good story.
Tiger Woods
As a child, the family that I had and the love I had from my two parents allowed me to go ahead and be more aggressive, to search and to take risks knowing that, if I failed, I could always come home to a family of love and support.
Tiger Woods
I get to play golf for a living. What more can you ask for – getting paid for doing what you love.
Tiger Woods
America’s a melting pot, all races, cultures, religious choices.
Tiger Woods
I love to compete. That’s the essence of who I am.
Tiger Woods
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.
Tiger Woods
My main focus is on my game.
Tiger Woods
I’ve been a gamer all my life.
Tiger Woods
I look at a streak as I don’t lose – literally.
Tiger Woods
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.
Tiger Woods
To be able to hold all four majors – the Masters, U.S. Open, British Open, PGA – all concurrently I think is the Grand Slam. But a lot of people have a different opinions on that. People think you have to win it in the same calendar year.
Tiger Woods
I am deeply aware of the disappointment and hurt that my infidelity has caused to so many people, most of all my wife and children.
Tiger Woods
Golf is evolving, every day, every shot.
Tiger Woods
The thing you don’t dream about as a kid is all the peripheral stuff that comes with success.
Tiger Woods
I miss hanging out with my friends, getting in a little trouble. I have to be so guarded now.
Tiger Woods
Personal sins should not require press releases and problems within a family shouldn’t have to mean public confessions.
Tiger Woods
I’d like to share my experiences and the lessons I’ve learned and hopefully create some amazing, fun courses.
Tiger Woods
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.
Tiger Woods
It will always be the ball and me.
Tiger Woods
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.
Tiger Woods
I’m committed to try to make the product the best I possibly can.
Tiger Woods
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.
Tiger Woods
Hopefully I’ll continue to have the success I’ve had.
Tiger Woods
I am not without faults and I am far short of perfect.
Tiger Woods
Personal sins should not require press releases and problems within a family shouldn’t have to mean public confessions.
Tiger Woods
I miss college.
Tiger Woods
My mom was tough.
Tiger Woods
I really don’t feel like playing anymore.
Tiger Woods
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.
Tiger Woods
I believe in Buddhism. Not every aspect, but most of it. So I take bits and pieces.
Tiger Woods
A lot has transpired in my life.
Tiger Woods
I thoroughly enjoy getting away from the game and going out fishing because it’s so relaxing, so quiet and peaceful. I mean, there’s no noise other than nature – and it’s so different from what I do in a tournament situation that it just eases my mind.
Tiger Woods
I’m aware if I’m playing at my best I’m tough to beat. And I enjoy that.
Tiger Woods
I’m not as far along as Jack Nicklaus was at this age, but I’m trying.
Tiger Woods
Michael left because of the Bulls’ management, not because he’d lost his love of playing the game.
Tiger Woods
Money and fame made me believe I was entitled. I was wrong and foolish.
Tiger Woods
I don’t get to live by different rules. The same boundaries that apply to everyone apply to me.
Tiger Woods
In therapy I have learned the importance of keeping spiritual life and professional life balanced. I need to regain my balance.
Tiger Woods
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.
Tiger Woods
I lost my ability to will things to happen.
Tiger Woods
Everyone wants to get a piece of me.
Tiger Woods
I’ve gotten more buff.
Tiger Woods
I started changing my swing in late 1999.
Tiger Woods
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.
Tiger Woods
I have been fortunate to have my game peak at the right times.
Tiger Woods
Golf is something I do selfishly for myself.
Tiger Woods
The joy I get from winning a major championship doesn’t even compare to the feeling I get when a kid writes a letter saying: ‘Thank you so much. You have changed my life.’
Tiger Woods
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.
