“I’m not an alcohol drinker. Instead of the real beer, I just go with root beer.”

I am extremely proud to be of Tongan and Samoan descent.

I wear green on Sunday because it’s my mom’s favorite color, but green goes pretty well on Sunday at the Masters, too.

My most important goal is to set myself up on every Sunday to have a chance to win, and I know if I do those things, then everything else will take care of itself.

I find that my upbringing in the Church and my relationship with God are huge benefits to me in helping me become the kind of person that I want to become.

I’m from Samoan heritage, and with the rugby in our blood and everything,

It’s a cool thing to see Polynesians – there’s not too many of us, period – but especially doing well in American sports. It’s pretty cool.

I didn’t have really much of a social life in high school, and I’m not really a partyer, so college wasn’t super appealing to me at the time.

It’s a privilege to be in a position to give back, and one that I take pretty seriously because I know what it’s like… to be less fortunate, to be less privileged.

I just had different circumstances than most players, and I think that has been an advantage.

Staying in the moment is not worrying about the outcome but just focusing on the process on the next shot.

The No. 1 institution in the world is family. It’s so powerful.

For so many years, I was watching my tee shots slide hard to the right.

There are a lot of great athletes on the PGA Tour and a lot of good basketball players. But I can definitely put my name in the mix as one of the best.

Everything just kind of fell in my lap at a young age. Things were thrown at me very fast.

I’ve taken two weeks off before I’ve played a major, and I’ve played two straight weeks before a major as well.

I always told myself I am never going to set foot there unless I am playing and a participant.

To make them all lovers of beer.

I suspect states are going to realize there’s money to be made, and they’ll start to change laws so people can distil to sell. It happened with wine, it happened with beer.

If in 1989 I said, ‘I have an idea: Bottle water and sell it. And charge more than a beer,’ they would have chased me around with a giant butterfly net. The same with paying to watch a television station.

I’ve never read anything about heroin where, yeah, it’s a good experience, and you can do it for 20 years and enjoy it, like having a cold beer. It doesn’t work that way with heroin.

Except I knew I had a good voice and I could always get a couple of beers off of it. All of a sudden someone threw me in this rock ‘n’ roll band.

Gimme a pigfoot and a bottle of beer.

All my life I just wanted to be a beatnik. Meet all the heavies, get stoned, get laid, have a good time. That’s all I ever wanted.

Oh I have been to Ludlow fair, and left my necktie God knows where. And carried half way home, or near, pints and quarts of Ludlow beer.
