Achievements on the golf course are not what matters, decency and honesty are what matter.
Tiger Woods

And I don’t cook, either. Not as long as they still deliver pizza.
Tiger Woods

As a kid, I might have been psycho, I guess, but I used to throw golf balls in the trees and try and somehow make par from them. I thought that was fun.
Tiger Woods

Don’t force your kids into sports. I never was. To this day, my dad has never asked me to go play golf. I ask him. It’s the child’s desire to play that matters, not the parent’s desire to have the child play. Fun. Keep it fun.
Tiger Woods

For many my behavior has been a major disappointment, my behavior has caused considerable worry to my business partners, and everyone involved in my business, but most importantly to the young people we influence, I apologize.
Tiger Woods

Green and black go well together, don’t they?
Tiger Woods

Hockey is a sport for white men. Basketball is a sport for black men. Golf is a sport for white men dressed like black pimps.
Tiger Woods

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

I do plan to return to golf one day, I just don’t know when that day will be.
Tiger Woods

I don’t get to live by different rules. The same boundaries that apply to everyone apply to me.
Tiger Woods

I get to play golf for a living. What more can you ask for – getting paid for doing what you love.
Tiger Woods

I stopped living according to my core values. I knew what I was doing was wrong but thought only about myself and thought I could get away with whatever I wanted to.
Tiger Woods

I want to be what I’ve always wanted to be: dominant.
Tiger Woods

I’m addicted. I’m addicted to golf.
Tiger Woods

I’m aware if I’m playing at my best I’m tough to beat. And I enjoy that.
Tiger Woods
