My body is a little bit sore from all of the practicing and playing and training, and your mind gets a little tired of it, too. It`s nice to be able to recharge and come back fresh for the remainder of the year.

Michael left because of the Bulls` management, not because he`d lost his love of playing the game.

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

I am pretty health-conscious, so when my girlfriend and/or I make dinner--no, I don`t have a cook!--we choose the healthier options: lean meats, steamed veggies, fish, etc. Of course, there are always those cravings for the "bad foods" that I do give in to once in a while!

I`m not as far along as Jack Nicklaus was at this age, but I`m trying.

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.

I want to be what I`ve always wanted to be: dominant.

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.

My main focus is on my game.

If money titles meant anything, I`d play more tournaments. The only thing that means a lot to me is winning. If I have more wins than anybody else and win more majors than anybody else in the same year, then it`s been a good year.

Green and black go well together, don`t they?

It will always be the ball and me.

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.

We have a lot of fun every year, and I really enjoy being part of junior golf and the development of these players.

I`m aware if I`m playing at my best I`m tough to beat. And I enjoy that.

I`ve done it before. It won`t be the last time. You`re going to go years where you just don`t win. That`s okay, as long as you keep trying to improve.

If you are given a chance to be a role model, I think you should always take it because you can influence a person`s life in a positive light, and that`s what I want to do. That`s what it`s all about.

I don`t want to be the best black golfer, I want to be the best golfer, period.

I love to play golf, and that`s my arena. And you can characterize it and describe it however you want, but I have a love and a passion for getting that ball in the hole and beating those guys.

I think the best thing is being able to play golf competitively for a living. Ever since I was a little boy, that`s something I`ve always wanted to do, and now I get a chance to live out my dreams.

And I don`t cook, either. Not as long as they still deliver pizza.

I`m addicted. I`m addicted to golf.

You can always become better.

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