I find it flattering to be compared to Tige

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.

There are no shortcuts to success.

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.

Happiness is a beautiful fruit that tastes of cruelty.

It is by no haphazard chance that in every age men have risen early to pray. The first thing that marks decline in spiritual life is our relationship to the early morning.

Being able to channel my creativity, emotions and experience through a character was and is freedom for me.

In general the 53 countries on the continent of Africa have made great progress towards freedom and democracy, and in terms of electing good, sound administrations.

There is no love which does not become help.

I was always about the team, regardless of our relationship wasn't working out or didn't work out.
