sports winning champion
You can win all the tournaments you want, but the majors are what you're remembered for. It's how you're measured as a champion in our sport. The majors are where it's at.
people would-be gains
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.
basketball sports sexy
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.
motivational fitness attitude
No matter how good you get you can always get better, and that's the exciting part.
lessons today tomorrow
The greatest thing about tomorrow is, I will be better than I am today...There is no such thing as a setback. The lessons I learn today I will apply tomorrow, and I will be better.
stuff bags week
It was a mixed bag pretty much all week. A lot of really, really good stuff out there, some mediocre and some bad.
chance given honor influence life maybe model positive role
I think it's an honor to be a role model to one person or maybe more than that. 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.
bit good higher hit miss rough whether
I think it's hit or miss whether you get a good lie, because the rough is a little bit higher and thicker this year.
beginning course fast golf might playing rain scores somehow wednesday
I thought at the beginning of the day, there might be two scores in the 60s today. The golf course is playing really difficult. It's fast now. As always, if there's no rain here, the golf course is completely different from Wednesday to Thursday. It somehow just dries out miraculously overnight.
atmosphere bit british factor guess major masters media near novelty nowhere open shots talked won year
I think the atmosphere is nowhere near what it was in 2000 because I had won the U.S. Open by 15 and the British Open by eight, so 23 shots in two tournaments is pretty good. This year I've won two major championships. The Masters was a little bit closer, but I won the British by five. The atmosphere is also a little different because I've done this before. I guess from some of the media I talked to the novelty factor is not there anymore; I've already done it.
I lost my ability to will things to happen.
faults
I am not without faults and I am far short of perfect.
changes fix head last list needed ready
Last year, I had a long way to go. I had a lot of different things I needed to fix to be ready for Augusta. This year, the list is a lot shorter, and the changes aren't as big. From that standpoint, I've got a head start.
laugh
If you can't laugh at yourself, then who can you laugh at?
