“Golf is something I do selfishly for myself.”

If you are given a chance to be a role model, I think you should always take it because you can influence a person’s life in a positive light, and that’s what I want to do. That’s what it’s all about.

No matter who you are, the game is fluid. The game is always evolving, so you always have to keep working on it. There are plenty of hours in the day to get that done.

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

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

The majority of my blood is Asian.

My dad used to say, ‘Just because you dress up in a coat and tie, it doesn’t influence your intelligence.’

One of the things that my parents have taught me is never listen to other people’s expectations. You should live your own life and live up to your own expectations, and those are the only things I really care about it.

There’s no sense in going to a tournament if you don’t believe that you can win it. And that is the belief I have always had. And that is not going to change.

I think that in itself, if you’re a true golfer, you’ll see specific things you need to work on. Much cheaper than private lessons.

A golfer should never make a mental mistake because the ball is just sitting there waiting for you to hit it.

And I don’t cook, either. Not as long as they still deliver pizza.

In therapy I have learned the importance of keeping spiritual life and professional life balanced. I need to regain my balance.

I want to be what I’ve always wanted to be: dominant.

Did you guys take enough freakin’ pictures already?

You can always become better.

America’s a melting pot, all races, cultures, religious choices.

Golf without bunkers and hazards would be tame and monotonous. So would life.

There are no shortcuts to good golf. The better players realize this.

The greatest thing for me is when someone comes up and says, ‘My son started playing golf because of you,’ or, ‘I started playing golf because of you,’ and all that.

There’s a lot of great athletes all over the world, and some of them don’t have the access or opportunity to play the game of golf.

Golf is day-to-day. It’s shot to shot; it’s not four days at a time.

I hate golf! I still can’t believe Alice Cooper plays golf!

I’m swimming every day and I’m even trying to get the golf swing working again – but that might take a little bit longer.

Forty percent of the United States drains into the Mississippi. It’s agriculture. It’s golf courses. It’s domestic runoff from our lawns and roads. Ultimately, where does it go? Downstream into the gulf.
