It doesn't much concern me if Tiger plays in the tournament or no.

When they say America is the land of opportunity, it's true. If you work hard, people appreciate you.

I 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?

I 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.

I 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.

There are probably guys who could be superstars but aren't because they didn't work at it.

Maybe I should write 'Tiger Who?' on my cap.
