Tiger Woods

Dont force your kids into sports. I never was. To this day, my dad has never asked me to go play golf. I ask him. Its the childs desire to play that matters, not the parents desire to have the child play. Fun. Keep it fun.

People dont understand that when I grew up, I was never the most talented. I was never the biggest. I was never the fastest. I certainly was never the strongest. The only thing I had was my work ethic, and thats been what has gotten me this far.

My dad used to say, Just because you dress up in a coat and tie, it doesnt influence your intelligence.

Id like to share my experiences and the lessons Ive learned and hopefully create some amazing, fun courses.

If you are given a chance to be a role model, I think you should always take it because you can influence a persons life in a positive light, and thats what I want to do. Thats what its all about.

There are golfers everywhere who may never get a chance to play a links course in Scotland, a tree-lined course in America or the sand belts of Australia. Hopefully I can bring some of those elements into their backyards.

The amount of meetings Ive been in - people would be shocked. But thats how you gain experience, how you can gain knowledge, being in meetings and participating. You learn and grow.

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.

I will have to earn trust and respect from my kids.

My mom was tough.

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

Hopefully Ill continue to have the success Ive had.

Theres no sense in going to a tournament if you dont believe that you can win it. And that is the belief I have always had. And that is not going to change.

All that really matters is I have two beautiful kids, and Im trying to be the best dad I can possibly be, and thats the most important thing of all.

“No matter how good you get you can always get better, and thats the exciting part.”

“if you gone come in second, youre just the first loser!”
