Tiger Woods

• "I'm not as far along as Jack Nicklaus was at this age, but I'm trying.“

• "I'm aware if I'm playing at my best I'm tough to beat. And I enjoy that.“
• "I get to play golf for a living. What more can you ask for - getting paid for doing what you love.“
• "For many my behavior has been a major disappointment, my behavior has caused considerable worry to my business partners, and everyone involved in my business, but most importantly to the young people we influence, I apologize.“

• "It's cool now to play golf.“
• "Don't force your kids into sports. I never was. To this day, my dad has never asked me to go play golf. I ask him. It's the child's desire to play that matters, not the parent's desire to have the child play. Fun. Keep it fun.“
• "My dad was my best friend and greatest role model. He was an amazing dad, coach, mentor, soldier, husband and friend.“

• "The amount of meetings I've been in - people would be shocked. But that's how you gain experience, how you can gain knowledge, being in meetings and participating. You learn and grow.“
• "The virtue of privacy is one that must be protected in matters that are intimate and within one's own family.“
• "As a child, the family that I had and the love I had from my two parents allowed me to go ahead and be more aggressive, to search and to take risks knowing that, if I failed, I could always come home to a family of love and support.“
• "I have let my family down and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart.“
• "Personal sins should not require press releases and problems within a family shouldn't have to mean public confessions.“
• "I have not been true to my values and the behavior my family deserves.“
• "I hurt my wife, my kids, my mother, my wife's family, my friends, my foundation and kids all around the world who admired me.“
• "All I can say is that I'm getting married in the future. I've narrowed it down to that.“
• "As a child, the family that I had and the love I had from my two parents allowed me to go ahead and be more aggressive, to search and to take risks knowing that, if I failed, I could always come home to a family of love and support.“
• "To have the opportunity to complete the slam at the Open at St Andrews, the home of golf, is something I will never ever forget.“

• "My mom was tough.“
• "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.“
• "Money and fame made me believe I was entitled. I was wrong and foolish.“
• "I felt that I had worked hard my entire life and deserved to enjoy all the temptations around me. I felt I was entitled, and thanks to money and fame, I didn't have to go far to find them.“
• "I thoroughly enjoy getting away from the game and going out fishing because it's so relaxing, so quiet and peaceful. I mean, there's no noise other than nature - and it's so different from what I do in a tournament situation that it just eases my mind.“
• "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.“
• "Well, you know, a lot of people look at the negative things, the things that they did wrong and - which I do. But I like to stress on the things I did right, because there are certain things that I like to look at from a positive standpoint that are just positive reinforcement.“
• "The Masters is where I won my first major, and I view this tournament with great respect. After a long and necessary time away from the game, I feel like I'm ready to start my season at Augusta.“
• "I will have to earn trust and respect from my kids.“
• "Hockey is a sport for white men. Basketball is a sport for black men. Golf is a sport for white men dressed like black pimps.“
