Tiger Woods makes me a better athlete.

Nobody else is Tiger Woods. Not on this planet.

There's nothing anyone can do about Tiger Woods but look at his game and swoon.

For example, Michael Jordan earns $100million a year but continues to play basketball and remains a modest human being.

Tiger is the greatest thing that's happened to the tour in a long time. He has brought incredible attention to golf at a time of year when football and the World Series always take precedence. Everything I've heard about him seems to be true.

Michael Jordan brings millions of dollars when he shows up in an arena. Since money is how we judge people, he's very valuable.

It's flattering to be compared in any way to Tiger Woods, because he's the best player in the world.

If I hadn't become a golfer, I doubt I'd be wealthy, because I don't have the sort of ego that drives a person all day long. I might have wound up driving a tractor.

The pro athlete is a sad tale. He signs a big contract and thinks he's set for life. I didn't think I was set for life, and I don't now. As athletes, we are important, celebrities, in demand and rich. Then we are out of the game and we are not important, not celebrities, not in demand and not rich.
