I am deeply aware of the disappointment and hurt that my infidelity has caused to so many people, most of all my wife and children.
The greatest thing about tomorrow is, I will be better than I am today.
As a child growing up, you never thought about being in a videogame, then to have a game of your own and be lucky enough to set the bar with it in the gaming world, it’s a dream come true.
I can play a power game, but I also have the ability to step it up to another level and hit shots even further on call.
When you look at all of the great players who ever played the game, they all had that other gear that they could go to, and it makes a world of difference.
It is technology. They all changed to a harder golf ball, so they gave up spinning on the greens. They all changed to longer drivers, bigger heads with hotter faces and lighter shafts. The problem is, the harder you hit it, the more control you lose.
I was living a life of a lie. And I was doing a lot of things, that hurt a lot of people. And stripping away denial and rationalization you start coming to the truth of who you really are and that can be very ugly.
Golf is fluid. It’s always changing. It’s always evolving. First of all, you never master it.
It provides a different type of element and mental strain athletes love. That’s what makes the game of golf so special.
No matter who you are, the game is fluid. The game is always evolving, so you always have to keep working on it. There are plenty of hours in the day to get that done.
In golf, just because a person is big and cut and ripped, doesn’t mean they have a physical advantage.
I chase a little white ball around and work on my farmer tan, that’s about it. I think that I’ve been lucky enough to represent some great companies, and I think maybe that’s what it is.
There are guys on Tour who hit the ball further than me. I always thought it was important to have power, but more important to have power in reserve.
I’ve been in some seriously bad places playing golf and it’s just part of the game. You’re going to hit bad shots, you’re going to be in bad spots, and each course, when you learn it, you learn where not to go.
There are a lot of great players from Europe who have never played Augusta, but all the guys in America have all played St. Andrews. They’ve gone over and made a trip to play St. Andrews.
No matter how you play the golf course, no matter how well you play, you’re going to have to make 6 and 8 footers for par. It’s just a given here.
My dad was a big believer of having a golf club that fit me. Always have a golf club that fits you, so you don’t have to make any swing compensations for that particular golf club.
I’m trying as hard as I possibly can each and every day to get my life better and better and stronger. And if I win championships along the way, so be it.
The key is to design great golf courses all around the world. But my plan is only to do a select few. I devote so much of my time to these. I’m kind of a hands-on kind of person. I always want to do the best that I can in all of my life and this is no different.
I think life is all about having a balance, and trying to find equilibrium and not getting things one way or the other.
Other golfers may outplay me from time to time, but they’ll never outwork me.
