Woods: "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."

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

Woods: "You can win all the tournaments you want, but the majors are what you're remembered for. It's how you're measured as a champion in our sport. The majors are where it's at."

Woods: "If you're lucky to have three close people in your life, you're blessed."

Woods: "I felt that I had worked hard my entire life and deserved to enjoy all the temptations around me. I felt I was entitled, and thanks to money and fame, I didn't have to go far to find them."

Woods: "I love to compete. That's the essence of who I am."

Woods: "People don't understand that when I grew up, I was never the most talented. I was never the biggest. I was never the fastest. I certainly was never the strongest. The only thing I had was my work ethic, and that's been what has gotten me this far."

Woods: "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."

Woods: "As a child, the family that I had and the love I had from my two parents allowed me to go ahead and be more aggressive, to search and to take risks knowing that, if I failed, I could always come home to a family of love and support."

Woods: "Sensationalism sells: Don't let the facts get in the way of a good story."

Woods: "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."

Woods: "I am deeply aware of the disappointment and hurt that my infidelity has caused to so many people, most of all my wife and children."

Woods: "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."

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