I stopped living according to my core values. I knew what I was doing was wrong but thought only about myself and thought I could get away with whatever I wanted to.

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

I don't get to live by different rules. The same boundaries that apply to everyone apply to me.

I do plan to return to golf one day, I just don't know when that day will be.

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

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.

Achievements on the golf course are not what matters, decency and honesty are what matter.

For many my behavior has been a major disappointment, my behavior has caused considerable worry to my business partners, and everyone involved in my business, but most importantly to the young people we influence, I apologize.

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.

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.

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

Money and fame made me believe I was entitled. I was wrong and foolish.

I'm addicted. I'm addicted to golf.

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