“You can play from the wrong position for a long time with good hands, but eventually it’s going to catch up with you.”

Golf is a great way for someone to learn discipline, responsibility and sportsmanship?

I don’t want to become as good as I once was. I want to become better.

I think the guys who are really controlling their emotions, are going to win.

All I know is I’ve tried my best.

I don’t just want to be the best black player or the best Asian player. I want to be the best golfer ever.

I’m trying as hard as I can, and sometimes things don’t go your way, and that’s the way things go.

Talent is something you are born with, and a skill is something you develop. 99% of what you need to succeed in golf are skills.

The biggest thing is to have a mind-set and a belief you can win every tournament going in.

I am deeply aware of the disappointment and hurt that my infidelity has caused to so many people, most of all my wife and children.

I stopped living according to my core values. I knew what I was doing was wrong but thought only about myself and thought I could get away with whatever I wanted to.

I believe that my creative mind is my greatest weapon.

When you look at all of the great players who ever played the game, they all had that other gear that they could go to, and it makes a world of difference.

If money titles meant anything, I’d play more tournaments. The only thing that means a lot to me is winning. If I have more wins than anybody else and win more majors than anybody else in the same year, then it’s been a good year.

My goal is to remain healthy my entire career, and a healthy diet seems like a good start.

If you gone come in second, you’re just the first loser!

Golf has made me and shaped me into the person I am here today.

If it is worth playing, it is worth paying the price to win.

I have to keep working hard and playing well because I don’t like to be second or third: they’re the worst places to be. You would be proud, of course, because it means you’re on the way, but you want to finish first.

The first thing I look forward to when I am in Delhi is to spend some time with my family. It’s always lovely coming back here and playing in front of my own people. It’s just a special place.

I do not abuse players. I talk to myself; I abuse myself. It’s my way of letting off steam. I do it after every century; I do not do it always. I keep telling myself: ‘Improve, improve from the previous match, the previous shot. You can do it.’

Play the hand you’re dealt.

I wasn’t sure of the exact mindset you should have when you go into a Test match. So I probably became too defensive when I played my first Test match. Short balls in one-day cricket, I have never thought of just defending.

Well, since I’m six years old, I’ve been playing the violin, the piano, I’ve been singing. It’s always been a dream of mine, but I really never had the courage to actually go and do it professionally.

There are two bowlers who I think are very tough to play against – Dale Steyn and Morne Morkel.
