Pro golfer Tiger Woods won the U.S. Masters. Augusta in 1997 with a record score of 21 years, making him the youngest man and the first African American to receive the title. Woods won 13 more majors and was named PGA Player of the Year 10 times in the next 12 years, but struggled to regain his form after suffering in 2009.

QUOTES BY Tiger Woods


"It played hard. It (the wind) was down off the left when I hit. When Robert (Allenby) hit it was in off the right. The wind was just swirling enough where it made it a little bit difficult."

"I don't know if I even have an aura, man. I just try to win."

"My dad has always taught me these words: care and share. That's why we put on clinics. The only thing I can do is try to give back. If it works, it works."

"Patience was the key today. I played a couple of bad shots but made key putts, didn't drop any shots and kept the momentum going,"

"Well, dad wasn't feeling well and it's just the same stuff, just tried to go out there and hopefully make his spirits a little better. Just trying to make him understand that I love him dearly and want him to hang in there and keep fighting, which he always does. He's a very stubborn man, which is good."

"I've fallen in love with the course, and the environment. I've never been a fan of TPC courses, so it's nice to play old-school courses like this one that are laid out right in front of you. It's not one of the hardest, but it's fair and you know you have to go low."

"Dad is doing better. He's my best friend. Any time you can spend as much time with your parents that you truly love, especially when he wasn't feeling all that well, it meant the world to me."

"The Player of the Year means a lot because it's from your peers. That is like the ultimate compliment. The money list doesn't really interest me that much only because if you play more, you have a better chance of making more money and I don't play that many events. I'm concentrating on the bigger events. If I can win more events than anyone in a year and more majors than anyone in a year, it's going to be a great year."

"Her focus, her determination, her preparation over the winter months ... people don't realize how hard she works. She didn't get to this level by just hoping she could play well."
