Look, there are no shortcuts in golf, and there are no shortcuts in life. You have to work for it. Dream big and keep your dreams for yourself. Because the dreams that you have are those things that separate you from others. If you give up your dream, you give up hope. And without hope, you are nothing.

The biggest thing is to have a mind-set and a belief you can win every tournament going in.

I didn't have many ups and downs, and I just tried to par every hole.

I did envisage being this successful as a player, but not all the hysteria around it off the golf course.

If you can't laugh at yourself, who can you laugh at?

Look at the NBA players back when Magic and Kareem played in the early 80's with the short shorts, look at what Michael looked like when he first came in the league compared to when he left. Every sport evolves. Every sport gets bigger and more athletic, and you have to keep up.

I do plan to return to golf one day. I just don't know when that day will be.
