Tiger Woods

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 been fortunate to have my game peak at the right times.

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

My failures have made me look at myself in a way I've never wanted to before.

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.

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.

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

I treat golf as a sport. I let other people treat it like a hobby.

You hit a bad shot, you have to get over it right there and then so you can get focused on the next one.

I don't just want to be the best black player or the best Asian player. I want to be the best golfer ever.

It's something you have to find from within. You have to keep pushing yourself from within. It's not about what other people think and what other people say. It's about what you want to accomplish and do you want to go out there and be prepared to beat everyone you play or face.

In order to hit a good golf shot at that moment in time when you're standing over the ball, you must believe that golf shot is the most important things in your life.

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

I think the guys who are really controlling their emotions ... are going to win.

My mind is my biggest asset. I expect to win every tournament I play.

I have a big-picture outlook, I am willing to fall, and I understand it's ok to fall, but I am going to get back up, I may take a step back, but in the end, I am going to take a giant leap forward.
