“I always felt I’ve been tough, and that my tolerance for pain is pretty high.”

It’s a privilege to be in a position to give back, and one that I take pretty seriously because I know what it’s like… to be less fortunate, to be less privileged.

I just had different circumstances than most players, and I think that has been an advantage.

Staying in the moment is not worrying about the outcome but just focusing on the process on the next shot.

The No. 1 institution in the world is family. It’s so powerful.

For so many years, I was watching my tee shots slide hard to the right.

There are a lot of great athletes on the PGA Tour and a lot of good basketball players. But I can definitely put my name in the mix as one of the best.

Everything just kind of fell in my lap at a young age. Things were thrown at me very fast.

I’ve taken two weeks off before I’ve played a major, and I’ve played two straight weeks before a major as well.

I always told myself I am never going to set foot there unless I am playing and a participant.

When I was on the Ryder Cup team and I surrounded myself with the other 11 guys and our captains, being in that locker room, it gave me an extra sense of confidence.

One of the things I learned growing up, a rule that I go by, is just never give up. That’s one thing that I had to keep telling myself.

I use the low-spinning Pro V1 left dot. I mark it with the logo for the Tony Finau Foundation.

My brother and I ended up being known for our distance, but we had no idea how far we could hit the ball because we hit it the same, and all of a sudden.

It’s cool to be able to dunk. I’m pretty tall and pretty long. My body’s probably built more for basketball than for golf.

So I definitely take time to realize where I’m at in my life. And I know that I’m blessed.

I’ve never seen it in person and wouldn’t go even if you gave me tickets, because I made a promise to myself as a kid that I wouldn’t go until I played my way there.
