There are no shortcuts to success.

I push myself to be the best I can be. I don't worry about what other people are doing, and I don't think about things I can't control.

You just have to try and keep on grinding and hope that things will turn around eventually.

On the first tee I kept telling myself, "Trust yourself, you can do it."

I stay patient. I don't go out there and try to set a course record. That's probably one of my strengths and one reason I've been able to win major championships.

A lot of people think I am cold and have no feelings. But I do. I just try very hard to focus and not let my emotions take over on the golf course.

To play well you have to have good balance in your life. Tiger has found that. If you play golf long enough you'll learn that life is more than golf.

I still get butterflies on the first tee. I still get sweaty hands, and my heart pumps a lot going down the 18th. But I know what winning is all about now, and that's a feeling that I like.

When I first came on tour, I was playing for money. Now I'm playing to win golf tournaments and the money is more than I ever dreamed I could make.

I love to crunch numbers. I look at how many fairways I hit, how many greens I hit. I plan my way around the golf course.

I've learned a lot about my game every time I play golf in a men's event.

An entire mythology is stored within our language.

A loyal pet is better than a faithless friend.

Writing to impress others is the surest path to pretentious mediocrity.

Counterintuitive actions prove we can trust real knowledge and do the opposite of what we feel makes sense.

Truth is, I cut my hair for freedom, not for beauty.

I don't deal at all well with the relative amount of stuff I have to face already.

I think if you were to look at my resume in total you would see a lot of things that are kind of all over the map.

Who says reading should be easy? Shouldn't it challenge you as hard sometimes as love. Maybe "hard" is not the right word in this context. Ha!

People never notice anything.

When I go into the studio, I'm strictly for business... I don't like any fooling around in the studio.
