“It’s the Tiger Woods effect. What he was able to accomplish at such a young age – he drew me to the game, and I can only speak for myself, but a lot of the players that are my age saw Tiger in his prime when we were all teenagers.”

There are countless things we can work on and think about in the swing, but when it’s time to play in competition, you don’t want to think too many thoughts.

We’re going to tournaments, and we’re driving the par-4s. At 10 years old, I was hitting it, like, 240.

I have a little different perspective on this whole golf thing than maybe some other players.

I enjoy the challenge of being a father… I try to do my best to be there for my children.

I feel like listening is a huge part of life – not only listening to people, but listening to people that you believe in, people who you think are wise.

I think the Polynesian people and the gospel are in harmony. We’re very respectful people, and very humble people… and I try and let that shine through as much as possible.

Everything I do is deeply rooted in my faith and especially in Jesus Christ.

I think it’s a cool thing to have kids look up to me and to know that it doesn’t matter, your background or your ethnic background. If you have goals and dreams, you can achieve them.

Maybe I carry a little chip on my shoulder with just how tough it was for my parents to overcome some of those financial situations.

I had a chance to win $2 million, a week after high school graduation, and if I turned pro, the sponsor was going to financially support me.

We grew up in the Rose Park section of Salt Lake City. It’s a good neighborhood but a tough one, on the poor side but proud.

It was tough to fail year after year. I never even got to the final stage until I got my card on the Web.com Tour.

I have no golf setup at all inside, just a half-court for me and a volleyball setup for my wife, who plays.

Needless to say, the Masters is the tournament I’d like to play in and win the most.

I am extremely proud to be Tongan and Samoan, and to be the first on Tour and the first in the Masters is a cool thing.

We didn’t have cable TV. We just couldn’t afford it. But you don’t need cable to watch the Masters. In 1997, at the exact moment I started out, I watched Tiger Woods win the Masters.

10′ was amazing! I had no career before ’10’ and then all of a sudden I was able to do pretty much whatever I was able to do in the business.

There’s an honesty in our family – my kids and I are able to talk about things without me putting the fear of God into them.

I write and sing about whatever I am able to understand and feel.

You know, it wasn’t even that I’m a funny guy, I just loved stand-up comedy and I wanted to do it. It was one of the few things in my life that I knew I was going to be able to do, and I also felt as though I’d be able to do it the way I wanted to do it.

Being able to ‘think out of the box’ presupposes you were able to think in it.

A man must be able to hold his drink because drunkenness is sometimes necessary in this difficult life.

I assume that a sufficiently skilled will be able to do anything not explicitly forbidden by the hardware.

I love my kids so much. They teach me something every day. It always brings richness to my work, and even more in life. I feel lucky to be able to do both.
