“There’s nothing wrong with having your goals really high and trying to achieve them. That’s the fun part. You may come up short. I’ve come up short on a lot on my goals, but it’s always fun to try and achieve them.”

Sad to say I’m missing the Masters. Thanks to the fans for so many kind wishes.

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

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.

I’ve been going to chiropractor for as long as I can remember. It’s as important to my training as practicing my swing.

Never beat yourself up, because there are plenty of people that will do it for you.

I didn’t have many ups and downs, and I just tried to par every hole.

I just try to be the best I can be and hope that is the best ever.

If you’re not nervous, it means you don’t care.

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.

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.

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.

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.

It’s important to relax and not put too much pressure on oneself, players must be patient when striving to improve.

I think the hardest part about Golf is being committed to your wife.

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.

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 think it is just terrible and disgusting how everyone has treated Lance Armstrong, especially after what he achieved winning seven Tour de France races while on drugs. When I was on drugs I couldn’t even find my bike.

It is no achievement to walk a tightrope laid flat on the floor.

Propaganda is not an end in itself, but a means to an end. If the means achieves the end then the means is good. The new Ministry has no other aim than to unite the nation behind the ideal of the national revolution.

It’s a great honour to have the nickname of Iceman, it makes me feel very proud of my achievements.

We cannot achieve greatness unless we lose all interest in being great.

Don’t loaf and invite inspiration; light out after it with a club, and if you don’t get it you will nonetheless get something that looks remarkably like it.

The challenges I have faced – among them material poverty, chronic illness, and being raised by a single mother – are not uncommon, but neither have they kept me from uncommon achievements.

But to find, all at once, right before your eyes, that the impossible had been mysteriously achieved by man himself: this staggers the mind!
