“My dad was my best friend and greatest role model. He was an amazing dad, coach, mentor, soldier, husband and friend.”

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.

No matter how good you get you can always get better, and that’s the exciting part.

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

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.

The greatest thing about tomorrow is, I will be better than I am today.

My kid is not going to wear a flat bill.

My body is a little bit sore from all of the practicing and playing and training.

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

During the Depression, my dad made radios to sell to make extra money. Nobody had any money to buy the radios, so he would trade them for dogs. He built kennels in the backyard, and he cared for the dogs.

My mom and my dad never pushed me into performing. They never prohibited me from trying anything, or being anything. They never restricted me in any way. For which I’ll be forever grateful.

My dad had been shortstop when he was in college, and you know, when you’re a kid, you want to be just like your dad.

My father was the only man I ever knew who really loved me unselfishly, who never used me for personal gain.

I’m born to be a father. And I’ve been looking forward to this all my life.

Our faith teaches that there is no safer reliance than upon the God of our fathers who has so singularly favored the American people in every national trial and who will not forsake us so long as we obey His commandments and walk humbly in His footsteps

I believe I am happy. I don’t think I have achieved happiness in all areas of my life yet. As far as success is concerned, my family is being taken care of. But I think the last level of happiness would be becoming a father.

I have two sisters. My father is Greek and comes from a family of seven. My mother is English and comes from a family of five.
