To have the opportunity to complete the slam at the Open at St Andrews, the home of golf, is something I will never ever forget.
I want to say to each of you, simply, and directly, I am deeply sorry for my irresponsible and selfish behavior I engaged in.
One of the things my dad kept instilling in me was the joy of the game. He made it fun for me. A lot of the time I see kids that don’t enjoy being out there and that’s a shame; you’re supposed to enjoy the game.
Under pressure, you can win with your mind.
I started changing my swing in late 1999.
There’s nothing wrong with having your goals really high and trying to achieve them. That’s the fun part. You may come up short. I’ve come up short on a lot on my goals, but it’s always fun to try and achieve them.
My main focus is on my game.
I ran straight through the boundaries a married couple should live by.
I miss hanging out with my friends, getting in a little trouble. I have to be so guarded now.
There are still courses in the United States that I am not allowed to play because of the color of my skin.
I have been fortunate to have my game peak at the right times.

I will have to earn trust and respect from my kids.
I’ll tell you what, I’ve been in some seriously bad places playing golf and it’s just part of the game.
People don’t really bother me as much as you might think.

I hit a one-yard draw in there.
