Tiger Woods Quotes (193 Quotes)

I had a great year, an absolute great year, ... The changes that I made were to become more consistent in the major championships, and that's exactly what happened. I was there with a chance to win on the back nine on Sunday at every one. And that's a great feeling.

Our biggest task was from '97 through '98, when I changed my swing to where it's at now. After that, it was basically kind of maintenance. I've been doing that the last two years a lot on my own.

I hope they learn some things that will help their golf game grow.

The wind is blowing, swirling in the trees. On top of that, the greens are really inconsistent out there because the low spots are soft, the high spots are really firm. It depends on where you land it.

It's nice starting off the year with the checklist not as long to get ready for Augusta than it was last year when I had to make some major changes. This year it is just fine-tuning which is great.

I played solid today, ... I hit good, quality golf shots all day and I hit a couple loose ones, but more than anything, I was happy with the way I putted today.

This year, certainly the field being this deep, you would expect it would be tough to win.

Unfortunately I had a couple MCs (missed cuts) this year, which is not normal. To be in contention at all the majors, win two World Golf Championship events and be in contention at other events, that's awfully exciting.

This is like a home event for me, ... A lot of my friends were watching me play today.

I think it will be exciting for us as players with basically one big event every month, from beginning to end. The whole idea is to build excitement in the game of golf. By having more of a condensed season, I think that you'll see more of the top players playing against each other in the same fields, and I think that's ultimately what the fans want to see. We as competitors want to have that happen as well.

I knew it was going to be virtually one of the most difficult shots you could possibly have on the whole golf course. When I got down there, I realized it wasn't up against the cut of rough.

But after I saw where the ball was, I thought I had an opportunity to put the ball inside of Chris. To be honest, that's all I was trying to do.

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

Tiger Woods was asked Sunday if he preferred this type of grueling setup or the more playable conditions the PGA Tour visits most weeks. This, by far, ... I don't like tournaments where 25-under par is the winning score. I'd much rather play challenges like this. It's more of a thinking man's game. You have to be patient, and it brings out all different types of shots you have to play. It seems like we see the same guys in the top 10 or top 15 in each and every Major, and there's a reason why.

I saw everybody there and kept looking in the opposite direction,

It's frustrating, because if I take care of the par-fives, I think I would be at the top of the board.
