looking looks satisfied
He's not going to ever be satisfied with getting there. He's not looking for 'getting there.' He's looking for getting better. That's what he looks for every day.
pleasing worried
I know it comes with the territory. The only person I'm worried about pleasing is Tiger.
respects saying teach tiger views
I'm not saying I teach Tiger Woods. We're old friends. He respects my views on the game, just as he respects other people's views.

The rough is very, very difficult and the course is long. Very long. It won't be a problem for Tiger, but it will be for a lot of players.
butch care changed great pleasing quite
We changed quite a bit. That doesn't take anything away from Butch Harmon. They did great things. The only person I care about pleasing is Tiger, not the critics.
winning opportunity years
To have the opportunity to work with Tiger Woods was just so awesome. I enjoyed it. I enjoyed the challenge. I enjoyed the good parts where he was winning. And I enjoyed the challenge to help him get better. But six years was enough.
fun want achieve
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.
simple thinking swings
Does anyone actually think I'm going to call Tiger Woods and tell him what to do with his swing one day, and he's going to go out and do it, simple as that? It doesn't work like that.
woods defense easy
Well it's not easy being Tiger Woods on the course. It's not easy being Tiger Woods off the course. In his defense, it's not easy being Tiger Woods.
ideas way realizing
One of the things you realize with a lot of high achievers: You have to figure out a way to make things their idea.
