Tiger Woods Quotations | Page 5

I chase a little white ball around and work on my farmer tan, that's about it. I think that I've been lucky enough to represent some great companies, and I think maybe that's what it is.

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.

There are a lot of great players from Europe who have never played Augusta, but all the guys in America have all played St. Andrews. They've gone over and made a trip to play St. Andrews.

As a child growing up, you never thought about being in a videogame, then to have a game of your own and be lucky enough to set the bar with it in the gaming world, it's a dream come true.

No matter who you are, the game is fluid. The game is always evolving, so you always have to keep working on it. There are plenty of hours in the day to get that done.

It's something you have to find from within. You have to keep pushing yourself from within. It's not about what other people think and what other people say. It's about what you want to accomplish and do you want to go out there and be prepared to beat everyone you play or face.

My mother's a Buddhist. In Buddhism, if you want to achieve enlightenment, you have to do it through meditation and self-improvement through the mind. That's something she's passed on to me: to be able to calm myself down and use my mind as my main asset.

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.

The biggest thing is to have a mind-set and a belief you can win every tournament going in.

Winning takes care of everything.

You just got to be #patient, be focused, you know there are lots of distractions out there.

The key in shooting any good round is to give yourself some chances and, tomorrow, if my swinging is feeling any good, I'll have some chances. But, if it's not, then I'll have to give myself those 15- to 20-footers and hope I can make those.

A pre-putt routine helps you stay nice and relaxed so you can make the best stroke possible.

I don't just want to be the best black player or the best Asian player. I want to be the best golfer ever.

You hit a bad shot, you have to get over it right there and then so you can get focused on the next one.

I treat golf as a sport. I let other people treat it like a hobby.

I think the hardest part about Golf is being committed to your wife

I'm playing in the Masters. It's obviously very important to me, and I want to be there. I've worked a lot on my game and I'm looking forward to competing. I'm excited to get to Augusta and I appreciate everyone's support.

A lot has transpired in my life.

You ever go up to the tee and say, 'Don't hit it left, don't hit it right'? That's your conscious mind. My body knows how to play golf. I've trained it to do that. It's just a matter of keeping my conscious mind out of it.

I'm addicted. I'm addicted to golf.

I'm getting back to my old roots.

It's cool now to play golf.

The majority of my blood is Asian.

My kid is not going to wear a flat bill.

Look, there are no shortcuts in golf, and there are no shortcuts in life. You have to work for it. Dream big and keep your dreams for yourself. Because the dreams that you have are those things that separate you from others. If you give up your dream, you give up hope. And without hope, you are nothing.

My dad has always taught me these words: care and share.

My main focus is on my game.

There's nothing wrong with having your goals really high and trying to achieve them. That's the fun part. You may come up short. I've come up short on a lot on my goals, but it's always fun to try and achieve them.

I've had moments where I didn't hit the ball very good coming in, and you've got to turn it around. That's the whole idea of practicing and really working on being focused on what I'm doing and being committed to what I'm doing. I know what the fix is and I've proven it to myself, and it's just a matter of going out there and executing it consistently over 72 holes.

Under pressure, you can win with your mind.

One of the things my dad kept instilling in me was the joy of the game. He made it fun for me. A lot of the time I see kids that don't enjoy being out there and that's a shame; you're supposed to enjoy the game.

I hit a one-yard draw in there

I don't know if I even have an aura, man. I just try to win.

Talent is something you are born with, and a skill is something you develop. 99% of what you need to succeed in golf are skills

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.

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.

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.

If you can't laugh at yourself, who can you laugh at?

I do not look back at what might have been. If I did that, playing golf would drive me crazy.

I have a big-picture outlook, I am willing to fall, and I understand it's ok to fall, but I am going to get back up, I may take a step back, but in the end, I am going to take a giant leap forward.

I don't think you're ever there. You never arrive, but if you do, you might as well quit because you're already there. Can't get any better. And as players, if you ever have that moment - you should never have that moment. You're always trying to get better.

I want to say to each of you, simply, and directly, I am deeply sorry for my irresponsible and selfish behavior I engaged in.

I was unfaithful. I had affairs. I cheated.

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.

I am pretty health-conscious, so when my girlfriend and/or I make dinner--no, I don't have a cook!--we choose the healthier options: lean meats, steamed veggies, fish, etc. Of course, there are always those cravings for the "bad foods" that I do give in to once in a while!

It is pretty cool to have my own video game. As a kid, growing up, it was something I never even thought of. I thought about just trying to get the new game that was coming out, so that my buddies [and] I, we could all enjoy it together. When I was a kid, never once in my wildest dream --even when I turned pro-- that was never something that I really thought about, having my own video game. Thanks to EA, it's a reality.

You can play from the wrong position for a long time with good hands, but eventually it's going to catch up with you.

Days when you just don't have it, you don't mail it in, you don't pack it in, you give it everything you've got. You grind it out, I don't care what kind of game you have, you somehow try and find a way to get it done ... That's part of my attitude and belief, that you should always have the switch on. You can't turn it on and off.

I think, one thing that I've really come to appreciate about my parents as I've got older is you know, how wise they really were. As a kid when I was growing up, as any kid, you think you know every thing and I was no different to that. I had different opinions on a lot of different things then them but the way they raised me, in hindsight, they were right.

The good thing about coming over to the UK is that I can get some rest.

I'm looking at a place on the coast, ... I was born next to the ocean and I'd like to live next to the ocean.

Courses that you've had success on, all of a sudden your game turns around because you feel comfortable on your tee shots, you feel comfortable going to the greens, you know, all the reads on the putts. It's a feeling that's hard to describe, but it's certainly one that you get filled up with confidence more than anything else.

I didn't have many ups and downs, and I just tried to par every hole.

Variety is not everything! Viagra is!

So I tried to activate my glutes as best I could, in between, but...they never stayed activated.

My kids are doing just great.

I've gotten more buff.

My body is a little bit sore from all of the practicing and playing and training, and your mind gets a little tired of it, too. It's nice to be able to recharge and come back fresh for the remainder of the year.

Growing up,I came up with this name: I'ma Cablinasian.

My dad once told me: no matter what anyone says or writes, really, none of those people have to hit your four- foot putt.You have to go do it yourself.

It's just a matter of, for me, getting my mind where it needs to be. Certainly I've made a lot of adjustments in my life, and I've gone through a lot. A lot.

If you have wind it becomes more difficult than you think.

I like the idea of being a role model. It's an honor.

The most important thing to me is winning tournaments. I love winning.

Golf is a great way for someone to learn discipline, responsibility and sportsmanship.?

At the end of every tournament, to review every stroke and every hole, seeing what I can learn from the experience.

Golf is a very serious part of my life, but when you stop having fun at it, that's when it's time to hang it up.

It's a never-ending struggle, which is great. You can always get better! You can never get there. It's a journey with no arrival. And that's the beauty of it -- that you can always become better the next day. It's pretty cool to think about it in that sense. Tomorrow I will be a better player than I was today.

Seve was one of the most talented and exciting golfers to ever play the game. His creativity and inventiveness on the golf course may never be surpassed. His death came much too soon.

We all make decisions. But in the end, our decisions make us.

I am not without faults and I am far short of perfect. I am dealing with my behavior and personal failings behind closed doors with my family. Those feelings should be shared by us alone.

I got hoes in different area codes

Buddhism teaches that a craving for things outside ourselves causes an unhappy and pointless search for security. It teaches me to stop following every impulse and to learn restraint. Obviously, I lost track of what I was taught.

We have a lot of fun every year, and I really enjoy being part of junior golf and the development of these players.

I think the best thing is being able to play golf competitively for a living. Ever since I was a little boy, that's something I've always wanted to do, and now I get a chance to live out my dreams.

I don't see myself as the Great Black Hope. I'm just a golfer who happens to be black and Asian. It doesn't matter whether they're white, black, brown or green.

I've been a gamer all my life.

You have to look at the past in order to learn from it and move on. I've done a lot of reflecting over the past year. And certainly, I've turned the corner and am looking more toward the future in a lot of ways.

I think the golf swing is all about rotation, all about trying to keep the club on plane.

I am the toughest golfer mentally.

I made my share of mistakes. People can look at that as what not to do, and if they choose to make fun of it, that's fine. I can't control that. All I know is that I can control myself. And at that point in my life, I wasn't even able to do that.

Never beat yourself up, because there are plenty of people that will do it for you.

A golfer should never make a mental mistake because the ball is just sitting there waiting for you to hit it.

I believe that my creative mind is my greatest weapon.

I love to play to win.

I always feel pressure. If you don't feel nervous, that means you don't care about how you play. I care about how I perform. I've always said the day I'm not nervous playing is the day I quit.

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.

My goal is to remain healthy my entire career, and a healthy diet seems like a good start.

I owe a lot of people an apology. I hurt a lot of people. Not just my wife. My friends, my colleagues, the public, kids who looked up to me. There were a lot of people that thought I was a different person and my actions were not according to that.

My dad told me this: You get out of it what you put into it. If you put in effort and log your time, you'll get the results.

if you gone come in second, you're just the first loser!

Golf is evolving, every day, every shot.

I've been going to chiropractor for as long as I can remember. It's as important to my training as practicing my swing.

My dad has always taught me these words: care and share. That's why we put on clinics. The only thing I can do is try to give back. If it works, it works.

Did you guys take enough freakin' pictures already?

You can always become better.

My mind is my biggest asset.

I just try to be the best I can be and hope that is the best ever.

In order to hit a good golf shot at that moment in time when you're standing over the ball, you must believe that golf shot is the most important things in your life.
