The last week has been all Tiger Woods, all the time. Speculation abounds: Did he or didn’t he? Who did he or didn’t he do it with? Why does anyone care? Is his career ruined? Did his wife beat him with a golf club before his car accident? Are mistresses being paid off for their silence? Did he send the exact same text message to multiple women? You get the picture. Right now, Tiger Woods is well-known for this voice mail quote to one of his alleged mistresses: “Can you take your name off your phone? My wife went through my phone and may be calling you.…You gotta do this for me, just have it as a number.” But he has also been quoted saying other things, during much less salacious times. For fans who may want to get away from all of the adultery talk, here are 15 quotes of Tiger Woods.
1. “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.”
2. “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.”
3. “I don't know if I even have an aura, man. I just try to win.”
4. “I did envisage being this successful as a player, but not all the hysteria around it off the golf course.”
5. “Green and black go well together, don't they?”
6. “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.”
7. “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.”
8. “You've got to stay patient, stay in the moment, keep grinding....You never know what can happen. And it turned out well.”
9. “I didn't have many ups and downs, and I just tried to par every hole.”
10. “I want to be what I've always wanted to be: dominant.”
11. “It will always be the ball and me.”
12. “The only thing you can do is take a learning experience from it, positives and negatives, and apply them to the future. What did you do right, what did you do wrong, and I did a lot of things right this week.”
13. “One of the things that my parents have taught me is never listen to other people's expectations. You should live your own life and live up to your own expectations, and those are the only things I really care about it.”
14. “If you can't laugh at yourself, then who can you laugh at?”
15. “My dad has always taught me these words: care and share. That's why we put on clinics. The only thing I can do is try to give back. If it works, it works.”
