Tiger Woods

“My dad was my best friend and greatest role model. He was an amazing dad, coach, mentor, soldier, husband and friend.”

“I'd like to share my experiences and the lessons I've learned and hopefully create some amazing, fun courses.”

“All that really matters is I have two beautiful kids, and I'm trying to be the best dad I can possibly be, and that's the most important thing of all.”

“I'm aware if I'm playing at my best I'm tough to beat. And I enjoy that.”

“I get to play golf for a living. What more can you ask for - getting paid for doing what you love.”

“For many my behavior has been a major disappointment, my behavior has caused considerable worry to my business partners, and everyone involved in my business, but most importantly to the young people we influence, I apologize.”

“There's no sense in going to a tournament if you don't believe that you can win it. And that is the belief I have always had. And that is not going to change.”

“It's cool now to play golf.”

“Don't force your kids into sports. I never was. To this day, my dad has never asked me to go play golf. I ask him. It's the child's desire to play that matters, not the parent's desire to have the child play. Fun. Keep it fun.”

“My dad used to say, 'Just because you dress up in a coat and tie, it doesn't influence your intelligence.'”

“The amount of meetings I've been in - people would be shocked. But that's how you gain experience, how you can gain knowledge, being in meetings and participating. You learn and grow.”

“The virtue of privacy is one that must be protected in matters that are intimate and within one's own family.”

“As a child, the family that I had and the love I had from my two parents allowed me to go ahead and be more aggressive, to search and to take risks knowing that, if I failed, I could always come home to a family of love and support.”

“I have let my family down and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart.”

“Personal sins should not require press releases and problems within a family shouldn't have to mean public confessions.”

“I have not been true to my values and the behavior my family deserves.”

“I hurt my wife, my kids, my mother, my wife's family, my friends, my foundation and kids all around the world who admired me.”

“All I can say is that I'm getting married in the future. I've narrowed it down to that.”

“To have the opportunity to complete the slam at the Open at St Andrews, the home of golf, is something I will never ever forget.”

“Hockey is a sport for white men. Basketball is a sport for black men. Golf is a sport for white men dressed like black pimps.”

“My mom was tough.”

“If money titles meant anything, I'd play more tournaments. The only thing that means a lot to me is winning. If I have more wins than anybody else and win more majors than anybody else in the same year, then it's been a good year.”

“Money and fame made me believe I was entitled. I was wrong and foolish.”

“I felt that I had worked hard my entire life and deserved to enjoy all the temptations around me. I felt I was entitled, and thanks to money and fame, I didn't have to go far to find them.”
