I'm not as far along as Jack Nicklaus was at this age, but I'm trying.

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.

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

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 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.

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

And I don't cook, either. Not as long as they still deliver pizza.

I'm not as far along as Jack Nicklaus was at this age, but I'm trying.

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 get to play golf for a living. What more can you ask for - getting paid for doing what you love.

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.

You can always become better.

I want to be what I've always wanted to be: dominant.

Green and black go well together, don't they?

I did envisage being this successful as a player, but not all the hysteria around it off the golf course.

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

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

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.

My main focus is on my game.

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'm addicted. I'm addicted to golf.

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.

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.

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

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 do plan to return to golf one day, I just don't know when that day will be.

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.

A lot has transpired in my life.

All I can say is that I'm getting married in the future. I've narrowed it down to that.

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.

America's a melting pot, all races, cultures, religious choices.

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.

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

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

Businesswise, everything's been good.

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

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.

Everyone wants to get a piece of me.

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

Golf is evolving, every day, every shot.

Golf is me.

Golf is something I do selfishly for myself.

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

I always come from truth.

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.

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

I believe in Buddhism. Not every aspect, but most of it. So I take bits and pieces.

I don't believe that human beings can achieve ultimate enlightenment, because humans have flaws.
