I do plan to return to golf one day, I just don’t know when that day will be.

In therapy I have learned the importance of keeping spiritual life and professional life balanced. I need to regain my balance.

I don’t get to live by different rules. The same boundaries that apply to everyone apply to me.

I want to be what I’ve always wanted to be: dominant.

I did envisage being this successful as a player, but not all the hysteria around it off the golf course.

If you are given a chance to be a role model, I think you should always take it because you can influence a person’s life in a positive light, and that’s what I want to do. That’s what it’s all about.

My main focus is on my game.

You can always become better.

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

Green and black go well together, don’t they?

I’m aware if I’m playing at my best I’m tough to beat. And I enjoy that.

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.

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

I do plan to return to golf one day, I just don’t know when that day will be.

I’m addicted. I’m addicted to golf.

As a kid, I might have been psycho, I guess, but I used to throw golf balls in the trees and try and somehow make par from them. I thought that was fun.

And I don’t cook, either. Not as long as they still deliver pizza.

I love to play golf, and that’s my arena. And you can characterize it and describe it however you want, but I have a love and a passion for getting that ball in the hole and beating those guys.

The major championships have always been a special focus in my career, and as a professional, I think Augusta is where I need to be.

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.

Achievements on the golf course are not what matters, decency and honesty are what matter.

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.

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.

I’m not as far along as Jack Nicklaus was at this age, but I’m trying.

The Masters is where I won my first major, and I view this tournament with great respect. After a long and necessary time away from the game, I feel like I’m ready to start my season at Augusta.

It will always be the ball and me.

Michael left because of the Bulls’ management, not because he’d lost his love of playing the game.

I stopped living according to my core values. I knew what I was doing was wrong but thought only about myself and thought I could get away with whatever I wanted to.
