Tiger Woods Great Quotations

He's a competitor, and being such a great competitor, it must be hard for him not to be prepared. I can understand why he's bowing out now.

I thought (old) 7 was a great risk-reward hole. You could hit driver. You could hit fairway wood, or even iron, off the tee, depending on what you feel you could do. Now you're hitting driver where usually we're hitting 3-woods or 2-irons. It's playing totally different now.

You just cannot give away shots like that. I turned a great round into just another round. It was very frustrating.

We got off to a great start and kind off let it slip away, Jimmy made some great putts and showed a lot of guts, what a grinder he is.

The Player of the Year means a lot because it's from your peers. That is like the ultimate compliment. The money list doesn't really interest me that much only because if you play more, you have a better chance of making more money and I don't play that many events. I'm concentrating on the bigger events. If I can win more events than anyone in a year and more majors than anyone in a year, it's going to be a great year.

Brad, he?s obviously from Rhode Island so it was a great win for him last week.

That's the biggest difference, that I'm hitting it so much farther and harder. My putting is just as good, but it's been sporadic this year, which is interesting. I normally don't putt that way. This year is one of those weird years where I either putt great or I don't putt well at all.

It turned out to be a great week. I didn't really have my best stuff this week but I hung in there with my mind and hit some good shots when I needed to,

They lost the golf course. It's terrible they lost control of the golf course at our national championship. This is not the way it's supposed to be played. It's a great course, absolutely fantastic. It was great the first two days but today it just got away from them.

It's never easy to shoot 65, but it's even more difficult now. Some of the holes where you could hit marginal tee shots and still have great angles into the flags, that's been taken away.

I had to play a great shot out of the trees and give myself a putt, which I didn't do, ... I tried to hole the chip, and I didn't do that. I had to at least try to make a putt so I could eagle the last hole, and I didn't do that, either.

If you drive it in there and it just rolls in, you could have a terrible lie or a great lie. You just don't know.

I had been struggling with my driver the entire week, ... then all of a sudden I make the best swing. It's a great feeling to make your best swing when you actually had to.

I had a great year, an absolute great year, ... The changes that I made were to become more consistent in the major championships, and that's exactly what happened. I was there with a chance to win on the back nine on Sunday at every one. And that's a great feeling.
