I don't play golf for fame.

To be a top-class athlete, you have to train hard, you have to eat right, you have to get enough rest. I feel the way golf is going nowadays, you have to treat yourself as an athlete.

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

I'm a golfer - not an athlete.

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

Lots of people still don't think of golf as a sport.

Golf is a humbling sport.

When golf used to be a rich man's sport, if you were poor you could not step foot on a course.

A lot of people like to think that golf is a lazy man's sport. Or it's a rich man's sport, or it's a sport that they can't be involved in.
