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

The way you play, you need to talk about winning. Don't talk about keeping your card - talk about winning.

I 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.

The more they made noise, the more calm I became.

He started pushing to make birdies and you don't do that when you're down.

I 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.

I'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.
