The course is playing a little slower than it was last year, a little more receptive. It's softer this year, and if you can hit the ball high and get it out there, you're going to have an advantage over a guy who hits the ball low and tries to chase it.
More Quotes from Tiger Woods:
Not only are they raking it up, they are raking it towards the tee, so every ball that goes in there is into the grain, ... You can't control your shot and you can't normally get to the greens. You either hit it down the middle or you bomb it in the gallery over there where it's stomped down.Tiger Woods
Last year, I had a long way to go. I had a lot of different things I needed to fix to be ready for Augusta. This year, the list is a lot shorter, and the changes aren't as big. From that standpoint, I've got a head start.

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.
Tiger Woods
You don't know. I mean, guys have come back from 10 back before in majors and have won. I don't know. It all depends on what Phil (Mickelson), and as I said Jerry (Kelly) and the rest of the guys before him, if they shoot 64 or 65 or 66. Then, you know it's pretty far out of reach unless I shoot a low one and they come back tomorrow.
Tiger Woods
I did envisage being this successful as a player, but not all the hysteria around it off the golf course.
