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

My most important goal is to set myself up on every Sunday to have a chance to win, and I know if I do those things, then everything else will take care of itself.

I find that my upbringing in the Church and my relationship with God are huge benefits to me in helping me become the kind of person that I want to become.

I’m from Samoan heritage, and with the rugby in our blood and everything,

It’s a cool thing to see Polynesians – there’s not too many of us, period – but especially doing well in American sports. It’s pretty cool.

I didn’t have really much of a social life in high school, and I’m not really a partyer, so college wasn’t super appealing to me at the time.

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.

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.

When was the last time you spent a quiet moment just doing nothing – just sitting and looking at the sea, or watching the wind blowing the tree limbs, or waves rippling on a pond, a flickering candle or children playing in the park?

It has come with a great purpose, which I may not understand at the moment. But as I refuse to become panicky.

To stop looking through glass, and let our eyes dwell on it for a moment to contemplate its wonder.

Time always seems long to the child who is waiting – for Christmas, for next summer, for becoming a grownup: long also when he surrenders his whole soul to each moment of a happy day.

A task becomes a duty from the moment you suspect it to be an essential part of that integrity which alone entitles a man to assume responsibility.

From the moment I open my eyes, I’m trying to free my body. I’m trying to get looser, more flexible, to gain control. Movement is medicine to me.

It’s Satan’s delight to tell me that once he’s got me, he will keep me. But at that moment I can go back to God.

And whether they do not see him there in the grass, or whether they fear to halt even a moment, but they do not wake him, they let him be.
