You win one and then you win another. You feel more comfortable and more confident, and it snowballs. You can't wait to get to the next hole and play better.
Vijay SinghGolf is about knowledge, and studying another player - more than listening to a teacher - is the best way to get it.
Vijay SinghI'd like to have a little better relationship with the media. It's just that I don't think the media is comfortable with me.
Vijay SinghI just play the game. I hit a shot and wait for the next guy to hit his. I don't think between shots-that's my nature.
Vijay SinghSometimes, we should maybe sit back and look at all we have. It's because of golf and the tour. I mean, this life we lead is unbelievable.
Vijay SinghThe way you play, you need to talk about winning. Don't talk about keeping your card - talk about winning.
Vijay SinghIt's like getting the Williams sisters to play (tennis) against a man, and they're far better athletes than she (Sorenstam) is.
Vijay SinghI have a lot of friends, in and out of golf, and there is a mutual trust. I'm very serious at the course. Maybe if I joked around more around the press tent, your image of me would be different. But that's not me. And the golf course is my office. If I come up to you when you're writing a story, are you going to drop everything to talk? Or are you going to say you're too busy doing your job?
Vijay SinghThe people who know me, the people who see the passion I have for this game and the respect for it, they know that I don't cut any corners in the way I approach golf.
Vijay SinghI am proud of my achievements, my work ethic, and the way I live my life. The PGA Tour not only treated me unfairly, but displayed a lack of professionalism that should concern every professional golfer and fan of the game.
Vijay SinghI open the driving range and I close it. I thought you ought to know that I work hard. I like practising. I enjoy it. If I did not enjoy it I would not do it. What is the point of going back to the hotel, having a drink and talking a load of bull?
Vijay SinghI think we have arrived at the stage where we are making it too complicated. I know guys who can't play two rounds before running to their teachers.
Vijay SinghI'm going to go out and play really hard. If I have another win, it will be icing on the cake. But I don't take anything for granted.
Vijay SinghIf I don't like someone, I'll let that person know. I'm not very diplomatic. I understand that.
Vijay SinghI want to play golf, practice and not do much else. I don't drink, I don't smoke and I hate going places where you have to yell at someone who is about a foot away from you.
Vijay SinghMy journey has been a very slow build-up. Each year has been a step upward. I've never actually gone backward.
Vijay SinghDr. Parent has been a great influence on my mental game. ZEN GOLF is the best book at connecting golf and the mind together. It's for everyone, it really helps, and you're really going to enjoy it.
Vijay SinghI've won a lot of times with my wife and son here, and I've won solo. I don't think there's a formula for when the come out and when they don't I'm simply happy to win.
Vijay SinghThere are probably guys who could be superstars but aren't because they didn't work at it.
Vijay SinghI can honestly say that in my time in America, I have not encountered any racism. When Jim Thorpe and I make fun of each other on the range, or even when a white player makes a joke about my color, I take it as what it is-a joke-and give it back accordingly.
Vijay SinghI have this reputation of not wanting to talk to the media, which isn't true. What I don't like-what a lot of us don't understand-is how we can say one thing and it turns up in print as something else.
Vijay SinghI've learned so much through life. Starting off in Asia, the cultures, the people you meet, the poverty you see. It's been a great education for me, and I've loved every minute of it.
Vijay SinghWhen they say America is the land of opportunity, it's true. If you work hard, people appreciate you.
