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

I get to play golf for a living. What more can you ask for – getting paid for doing what you love.

My dad told me this: You get out of it what you put into it. If you put in effort and log your time, you’ll get the results.

Money and fame made me believe I was entitled. I was wrong and foolish.

I love to compete. That’s the essence of who I am.

I was unfaithful, I had affairs, I cheated.

The thing you don’t dream about as a kid is all the peripheral stuff that comes with success.

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.

It was a personal decision for me to stand and say that cricket is all I have in life, there’s nothing I need to do other than cricket. If I want to achieve whatever I thought as a kid, I need to work hard and not let it go to waste.

I’m not a nerd, obviously. Do I look like one? I’m not someone who sits at home and doesn’t like to go out, doesn’t like to watch movies. I like to live my life.

My owner is life and that’s what I fight for.

As man’s faculty attains higher level of development and sophistication, so do his wants in life.

Sometimes the rewards of risk don’t leave us wrecked. Sometimes we find our passion, our purpose, courage, connection, and comfort. Every good thing in our lives is a direct result of risk.

Life is never easy. There is work to be done and obligations to be met – obligations to truth, to justice, and to liberty.

Everything happens when it needs to happen; everyone is always where they need to be. You will never miss out on what is meant for you, even if it has to come to you in a roundabout way.

Tattoos, for me, are like a timeline of my life. I could look at a certain tattoo, and it reminds of me of a certain time in my life and why I got that tattoo.
