It will always be the ball and me.

I wake up every day and I can't wait to go to work, and that's a gift. Not too many people have the opportunity to feel that way.

You ever go up to the tee and say, 'Don't hit it left, don't hit it right'? That's your conscious mind. My body knows how to play golf. I've trained it to do that. It's just a matter of keeping my conscious mind out of it.

My father had always called me Sam since the day I was born. He rarely ever called me Tiger. I would ask him, 'Why don't you ever call me Tiger?' He says, 'Well, you look more like a Sam.

I have a big-picture outlook, I am willing to fall, and I understand it's ok to fall, but I am going to get back up, I may take a step back, but in the end, I am going to take a giant leap forward.

I probably will have to become more political down the road when my playing days are done, because I'm going to have to have the support of others to grow my foundation.

Most players I play with, I don't look at their swing when they're over the ball or anything like that.
