“We all make decisions. But in the end, our decisions make us.”

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.

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.

What an injustice on your life that would be: to base your decisions on fear.

Part of my job is to make sense of all that I hear, and to retell it in a forceful way so that the decision-makers at Treasury can hear it. At least that’s how I see it.

It is difficult for the common good to prevail against the intense concentration of those who have a special interest, especially if the decisions are made behind locked doors.

If you don’t make a decision then time will make it for you and time will always side against you!

How do you begin? The answer is simple: you decide to.

The quality of your work, in the long run, is the deciding factor on how much your services are valued by the world.

Beware of looking for goals: look for a way of life. Decide how you want to live and then see what you can do to make a living WITHIN that way of life.

I struggle with deciding when to answer or ignore the constant speculation about my private life, because I feel like that doesn’t belong to anybody but me.
