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

Green and black go well together, dont they?

I treat golf as a sport. I let other people treat it like a hobby.

Golf is fluid. It’s always changing. It’s always evolving. First of all, you never master it.

I do plan to return to golf one day. I just don’t know when that day will be.

Every sport evolves. Every sport gets bigger and more athletic, and you have to keep up.

It will always be the ball and me.

I always feel pressure. If you don’t feel nervous, that means you don’t care about how you play. I care about how I perform. I’ve always said the day I’m not nervous playing is the day I quit.

In order to hit a good golf shot at that moment in time when you’re standing over the ball, you must believe that golf shot is the most important things in your life.

My mind is my biggest asset.

Winning is not always the barometer of getting better.

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.

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.

With work and life, your true depth can become an alien thing to you. Your gut feelings, your instincts become buried.

You ever be having a really good dream, and then, uh- right in the middle of the dream you wake up, right in the best part of the dream? And there you are, back in your stinkin’ life again? Man, that’s rough, eh?

I started my life with Rs 5,000.

Too often in life, something happens and we blame other people for us not being happy or satisfied or fulfilled. So the point is, we all have choices, and we make the choice to accept people or situations or to not accept situations.

I suffer with you. I’ve never seen such stupid ballplaying in all my life!

The death penalty is no more effective a deterrent than life imprisonment. It is also evident that the burden of capital punishment falls upon the poor, the ignorant and the underprivileged members of society.

Other people are talking about writing books about my life, or about some of the things I’ve done. I find it strange, but I also feel it’s my life and my story, and I guess I better be the one to get it on paper the way it actually happened.

All leaders make mistakes. They are a part of life. Successful leaders recognize their errors, learn from them, and work to correct their faults.
