I know I was a great friend to Tiger Woods. But when you have a relationship that's involves business and friendship - and the business part comes to an end - things always get a little blurry.

My feeling was, you plant some seeds. If they grow, great; if they don't, you don't take it personally. Not my problem; I just kept planting. Just like a farmer.

One of the things you realize with a lot of high achievers: You have to figure out a way to make things their idea.

I think when you're trying to improve, the most important thing is to always have a plan.

It's fun as a coach to work with somebody that has power and that has potential to achieve, really, anything that he wants to achieve. It's just a question of time and how much work they put into it.

Nothing like the road to rub all the sand out of your soul.

How did thie person-someone I'd imagined would be my polar opposite-always seem to find the things that would make me the happiest?

I don't think there is a city we've been to that someone didn't know who I was. People know who I am before I touch the ball.
