Tiger Quotations | Page 2

I text-messaged Tiger and said, 'No Hawaii for you, more cash for me'.

I think in fact the regime, which initially thought they had been very clever in getting him elected ... realize they've got a tiger by the tail. I don't think they're all that pleased about it.

I suppose Swedenborg might have been pleased to have a room named after him, a wall-papered room with two chairs and two doors and a simple painting of a landscape containing a tiger and a serpent and a few birds.

It definitely comes into play. Tiger is our partner, and if Torrey Pines was a course he didn't like to play it might cause us to think twice about being a sponsor there. But it's a great fit.

I think Michele Wie is probably the biggest thing to happen to golf since Tiger Woods.

I think I've gotten more attention after the Olympics than any other U.S. athlete, and it's really great that people are recognizing who I am and what I do. You look at Shaq and you see a basketball player. You look at Tiger Woods and you see a golfer. But people are responding to who I am.

I thought I had it but I missed a birdie putt on the 16th and then missed from four feet on 17 and that was the golf tournament. I should have had it won but it's just a lack of confidence in putting. Tiger has won so many golf tournaments I am sure I was feeling a bit more heat than he was but you just hate to lose that way and I know Tiger hates to win that way.

Me? I would love to be famous in America. I like the American people and I like the way they look up to Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods . I'm sure they criticize their stars occasionally but it doesn't reach the point where they ever put down their own people and their own stars. That's what's nice for me.

That was really good shot, ... Tiger made birdie, too. He didn't have to do that.

That was an impressive front nine, wasn't it? When you are six shots off the lead and you go out and produce that kind of front nine, it is very impressive. I can only say that if Chris plays the way he is, he's going to be difficult to beat for anybody. Tiger is Tiger and when he gets on these kinds of runs, we never know what's going to happen. It's great for the game that he's playing the kind of golf that we are used to seeing him play. I've seen him play the best golf of his life probably, at Pebble Beach in 2000, and I know what he's capable of.

That's the one thing Tiger is good at: Even when his game is not spot-on, you know that he can get in the hole and get around. That's what you need around here and I feel like I'm starting to get around that.

I was outclassed by three guys, and I couldn't help Tiger at all.

I was mediocre and I put Tiger in some tough spots. Certainly I enjoyed playing with Tiger and Retief and Adam but I just didn't play well. Your shortcomings show in the alternate shot format and playing with the best player in the world it showed today. I couldn't help Tiger at all.

I was mousy on the outside but inside I'm this tiger and I have to get on with it,

I was never his partner on the course. You know, I was playing golf for a different reason. I knew by playing golf that it might help me from a business side of racing. That was my whole purpose of being on the course. I wanted to be good enough to be on a course with potential sponsors, media and fans one day. It's really why I first started to play. I'm sure Tiger had a different reason to be out there then I did... Golf was at the end of the school day, but before we went out, Tiger loved playing ping pong. Yeah, he beat me at that, too.

Michelle is good for golf, just as Tiger was good for golf. There are a lot of people who may not follow golf otherwise, but tune in when you've got Michelle or Tiger out there.

Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods are out there performing all the time. As kickers, we're not out there much. Our teammates build the cake, and sometimes we're fortunate enough to put the icing on it.

Whether he was kidding or not, ... Tiger Woods wouldn't say it. Jack Nicklaus wouldn't say it.

Well, I quite like animals, but they're unpredictable. I mean, look at old what's-his-name in Vegas. Tiger dragged him off the stage, you know? The guy brought up tigers. They're quite unpredictable.

Well, I mean Tiger obviously has played good enough to be considered the best ever since turning pro. I've won quite a lot more tournaments than some of the other guys, but I play a lot more, too, so I have more chances of winning.

We're after Tiger Woods every year. I'm sure we'll be talking to him.

Well, Tiger has found his game again so he would be a tough one to catch but I would like to move up and see if I could get into that 'big four' category, though if I did they'd probably change it to the 'big three'.

Time goes on and inflation kicks in and the price goes higher. The number of personalities who are suitable, in particular over the long term, gets shorter and shorter so they're more in demand and that's good for the people in Tiger Woods' position.

Tiger would probably be a lot like Roger if all the golf tournaments were match play. Tiger is phenomenal, but he can't stop somebody from doing something. Besides the guys hoping that Federer loses, he's always got the opportunity to stop the other guy.

Tiger Woods wouldn't say that, Jack Nicklaus wouldn't say that. That probably motivated some guys. I'm sure Freddie was motivated when he heard it.

Tiger Woods may not always drive the ball in play, but his shots around the green are part of what make him so special. Nobody has more shots around the green. I think he'll go down as having the best short game ever.

Tiger Woods is incredibly influential. If Tim Finchem doesn't listen to Tiger Woods, he's crazy.

Tiger was so far ahead, you couldn't stop him. He's a great challenge and a great player.

Tiger was only 13 then, ... That was the last time I ever beat him at anything.

Tiger was cracking jokes and relating some locker room stories. He also imitated a few players.

Tiger Stadium is another level. Our fans are great. Our fans are very supportive, but down there they're wild. They get up for football regardless of who they're playing, regardless of what time it is, but especially at night. They stay up all day to prepare for kickoff. They're probably the loudest. They're probably as loud in pregame as they're going to be in the fourth quarter. They just love their football down there.

Tiger seems to find that sense of confidence all the time. We try to achieve that every time we play, but it doesn't come to us that easily. We can all do certain things with the golf ball. It comes down to talent, obviously, and mind-set ? how strong you are mentally.

Tiger played exceptionally well, It was a rough nine for Tiger.

Tiger meant nothing derogatory to any person or persons and apologizes for any offence caused.

Tiger just won in Japan, so it's no surprise he's going to play well. You know, maybe if he wasn't throwing up, he probably would have drove everything out there.

Tiger is very popular and golf is a more popular sport than our sport, so naturally he's going to be bigger than me. To me, I kind of would like to be known as the first James Stewart. We're in two different sports so I'm not sure about any comparisons.

Tiger is the only one I can think of. Maybe because this is the LPGA, it seems like it's been more about Michelle than Tiger.

Tiger is the key to validating your success. You can get nine of the top 10 players, but if you don't get him ...

Tiger is not playing as well as he did then. Guys like Vijay, Phil (Mickelson), Davis (Love) and me have elevated a little bit, and the gap has closed a bit. I think guys get to the first tee and really believe they can win with Tiger in the field. Golf will humble the best of them and that's where we are.

Tiger is looking good after his victory in the United States isn't he. But I've won here before and I like the course. I feel comfortable.

Tiger is going to lead the way. I didn't know Michelangelo, but I'm assuming he was always trying to do better art or a better sculpture. Last year, Tiger was 29, working on his game like he was 19. There is no reason the next 10 years should be any different.

Tiger has won 10 majors, so maybe he can go home on a Sunday night.

Tiger has the viciousness and the charm. Vijay is just military. He's just precision. But when he's good, it's scary.

Tiger has got to be exhausted, ... Because he was in a battle today.

Tiger has been the best player, and he's proven it over and over again.

Tiger had the advantage of high school, college, and a father who knew golf. I was self-taught. Blacks really won't play golf in great numbers until some of these basketball and football stars buy some golf courses where blacks can play.

Tiger doesn't want to pull out of any event, ever, much less the Nissan Open in his hometown.

Tiger does it the best. He misses, he doesn't get down and he doesn't think he's going to miss it the next time.

Tiger could drive a new hardware cycle and that's pretty significant,

Tiger always says he's trying to get better. That's the attitude you've got to have. I think Mickelson has taken a very comprehensive look at his game and learned from mistakes he's made. He's coming up with all sorts of ideas to do it. You always have to have a very open mind about what you need to do.

True confession time: I never know where a book is going. I get a gut feeling the story is there, then pursue it with the enthusiasm of a hunting tiger on a trail. If I knew where I was going, I'd get bored out of my mind and stop writing.

We have a very robust business plan that enables us to grow the business. Clearly higher oil prices are something we would prefer aren't there, but it does affect all other airlines. It's consistently the low-fare airlines like Tiger Airways that manages all of our costs exceptionally well that are able to cope with these higher oil prices and continue to offer lower fares. And that's what we aim to do.

Those guys are deserving of having the accolades. They are both at the top of the heap. Obviously Tiger is the best player in the world and he's been proving it for several years now. And Phil has raised his game up to a new level in the last couple of years. Man, the spotlight ought to be on them.

To go undefeated this week, it's all due to my partners, ... I had two great partners (Fred Funk and Tiger Woods), and that's what it's all about. It's about the team.

When the Williams sisters came into tennis, there was so much rampant racism that it was unbelievable. When Arthur Ashe was playing the good game of tennis, he had to contend with nonsense. When Tiger Woods hit the professional golf ranks, he had dumb people talking about fried-chicken dinners and sitting watermelons out on the golf course.

We play against guys we play with in the Ryder Cup week in and week out. We're all friends. Why the media want to generate any of this hatred - that's the problem. You even read stuff about Tiger and Phil disliking each other. How come they're always hanging together and playing ping-pong?

We obviously knew it was Tiger doing something.

Who would have thought a little girl from Tiger Bay would one day become a Dame?

When I was younger, I wanted to pattern my game after Tiger (Woods) and Freddie (Couples), but the more I matured, the more I realized that my game is like those guys (Leonard and Campbell) - straight down the middle, pretty good with the wedges and consistent with the putting,

There has been no physical evidence such as tiger tracks found to prove the tiger is on the post.

We're not on a Tiger hunt right now. We are not in the ball park.

This time last year, you could get 6-1 for Tiger to win the Open, but he is coming into this year's event bang in form and our customers are backing him as though defeat were out of the question. If he wins, the industry will take a multimillion-pound hit.

To scare Tiger a little, I think I'm going to have to put two or three of those up together.

With over two thirds of all wagers placed on Woods winning at least three majors this year, it's clear that bettors don't put anything out of Tiger's reach. Although he'll certainly be a clear favorite in each leg of the Grand Slam, both history and the odds are against Tiger Woods achieving golf immortality by capturing all four majors this year for a Tiger Slam.

The only thing I could compare it with was the tiger that was removed from a Harlem apartment a few years ago.

First and foremost in our thinking is that we want in every way possible to try to conduct our event in the state of Louisiana. We would ask LSU if we could use the facility to stage the game - Tiger Stadium obviously. Baton Rouge can handle the game easily.

The government's riding a tiger and they are scared of getting off.

While the football game was exciting, I am especially writing to express my sincere apology and regret to you, your president and all Tennessee fans for the incident which took place on our campus as your team buses were approaching Tiger Stadium.

We all saw how important Tiger was for the game on Friday,

To separate yourself from a bunch of other very, very good players -- more than likely playing some really good golf -- is going to be very difficult. What Tiger did at Pebble Beach a few years back was unheard of.

There is so much about him to admire. At 30, Tiger is unquestionably golf's best athlete. Nobody is as mentally tough. He dresses beautifully. What a smile. Incredible all-around talent. Abundant with class. Superb role model.

We will also have a school of dance, ... That will be part of our performing arts department and they will teach ballet, tap and Tiger tumbling. That will be tumbling gymnastics.

What is suggested is a time-bound program to identify those villages which must be relocated because they are located in crucial tiger habitats.

With hundreds of breakthrough features, including Spotlight, a lightning fast way for users to find virtually anything stored on their Mac, Tiger will fundamentally change the way people use their computers. We're thrilled that Fujitsu has developed a solution that allows Tiger users to Spotlight search their collection of scanned documents, photographs, and other electronic files.

What the market is telling the Tiger economies is that they have too much capital in their tradeable sector relative to their competitiveness.

You have to remember that Tiger is not Earl's only child. He had three other kids. He wasn't a rookie at this.

To be honest, I was a little bit disappointed with the changes in '02 because I wanted to play the same golf course everyone else had played and I couldn't. I wanted to play at least one Masters on the same course that Tiger (Woods) did what he did in '97 on.

This tiger was probably not being aggressive. It was being a tiger.

Best hitting coach in baseball, ... He has this way of communicating and getting things through to you. We look at what we're doing like what Tiger Woods went through, revamping the swing. He took a few steps back and one step forward.

Even if the hurricane wouldn't have come, ... I think this would still be a very emotional game for them because whenever a top-10 team comes into Tiger Stadium, it gets ridiculous.

Even Tiger can have an off-day and lose like he's done in the past.

Believe it or not, I thought I was going to win. There was one guy tied with me and they had 16, 17 and 18 left. Those holes were playing brutal. Tiger made a birdie on 16 with a 7-iron to a pin tucked behind the water.

At the start of the day I thought 11- or 12-under (would win), ... When I saw Tiger and Jay got off to a bad start I thought nine-under would be a good score.

Cooperation between the government and the Tamil Tiger rebels is at a standstill or even dead at the moment,

Contrary to what most people say, the most dangerous animal in the world is not the lion or the tiger or even the elephant. It's a shark riding on an elephant's back, just trampling and eating everything they see.

Could you really imagine Tiger racing a stock car?.

Are you kidding me? Tiger Woods leaves the PGA Championship on Sunday night to go home even though he was the leader in the clubhouse and eligible for a potential playoff the following morning? What is Monday the day the recycle bins are picked up at Isleworth?

Earl took things a step at a time, encouraging Tiger to clean up at one level before moving on to the next. It enabled Tiger to get used to winning.

There was a big controversy... people were saying... Chris Jericho treated me really well in the dressing room, he said, 'You were the first guy to ever do that.' No, I was the first guy to steal it from Tiger Mask. I don't want credit for doing things that I didn't do.

There's no one better than Ben on the greens here at Augusta, probably him, Tiger (Woods) and Phil (Mickelson). I think Ben still may be even better than Tiger on the greens.

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

The top players are playing better. Mike Weir , Jim Furyk , Ernie Els , Vijay Singh, myself... Phil Mickelson and David Duval were the exceptions, but overall, most of the guys you'd expect to challenge Tiger stepped up and challenged him. Were there classic duels with Tiger down the stretch this year? No, not really. Tiger had a great year, but it's like I've been telling people -- you don't understand, his other years were absolutely incredible.

I started watching it more and playing it more when Tiger started having those big years.

I see no reason why Tiger Woods won't become a great player. Man, can he smoke some shots. A little refinement on Tiger's short game and there'll be nothing. He's already pretty darn imposing.

I've been out of the limelight. But people forget quick. I've done a lot of this. I've never been afraid of the arena. I guess I'm a different guy compared to the way Tiger collects wins. I pop up once in a while.

The whole point of the Tiger Cruise program is for males age 14 and over to be able to come on the sub and see what we do, what our job is, and how we run the sub.

The Saints are bearing the entire financial burden of playing here at Tiger Stadium. Everything. We don't expect to lose anything at all. We're ensured against any loss whatsoever and against wear and tear on the stadium and the field.

The Tigers' time of 8:39 is the second-fastest time so far this season by a Division II team, with Pearl River running 8:35 last weekend. The effort definitely put the Tiger distance runners on the charts as one of the top contenders for state honors later in the year.

The tiger jumped out while the truck was moving. They're like regular cats and they land on their feet,

The three sailors died. One Sea Tiger cadre was injured.
