Vijay Singh Quotations

In my heart I know what kind of person I am, and that's good enough.

The way you play, you need to talk about winning. Don't talk about keeping your card - talk about winning.

I'm playing pretty good now, but my ranking doesn't say that. I'm number two.

Golf is about knowledge, and studying another player - more than listening to a teacher - is the best way to get it.

Maybe I should write 'Tiger Who?' on my cap.

He started pushing to make birdies and you don't do that when you're down.

I hope she misses the cut. She doesn't belong here.

If I can hit the ball the way I want to hit it on the range, I'd rather do that than play golf. I just love the feeling of hitting good golf shots.

It doesn't much concern me if Tiger plays in the tournament or no.

On paper it looked very satisfying but I was very disappointed with the way I played the majors.

I don't go to dinner with ... maybe 99% of the guys on Tour, so why single Tiger out? ... I never have had a drink with Phil Mickelson. Why doesn't anyone talk about that?

The only part of my game that's not as strong this year is probably my putting,

I was always able to defend a title on the PGA Tour and was disappointed not to be able to do so in Boston,

I feel like I'm due. I'm playing well enough to win. It's (a matter of) putting everything together.

He's a great player. All his wins, he's a very good front-runner. I don't think he's scared to go out there and play, especially with a lead. He could be a very dangerous person if he gets his game on.

He's been threatening for a while. He's very aggressive -- when he gets it going like this week, there's no stopping him. We will hear a lot more from Chad Campbell. This is not the end of it.

Hopefully this is the last one. You don't really think about it until after and you say, 'Wow, I made three doubles.' That shows this golf course, it's so easy (to double) if you make one mistake.

I still remember it. His yellow shirt and checkered pants, I still remember that. It's part of history and it's still very fresh in everybody's minds.

When it's windy and cold, we never go out there.

Tomorrow I've got to do it again, I have to shoot the lowest round I possibly can.

Finishing second is not going to do her any good. If she had 10 seconds it's not going to do her any good in the long run. You break records by winning tournaments.

They tend to take away the advantage of a longer hitter here. You don't just stand on the tee and bomb your drives.

This is not power golf over here. You don't take on the golf course like you do on other major events. You tend to take away the advantage of a longer hitter here. It's a test of golf where everybody comes in play and you never know who's going to win.

I've got good feelings over here. I've had great success in Houston.

I'm not a fake like many guys out here.

I guess he's still called a Canadian, so it's no different than Mike Weir last year, anyway.

I have not enjoyed it yet. No matter how hard I try, it might be almost an impossible thing to do again. You never know, we'll try again next year and see what happens.

I'm playing really good and I'm hitting the ball very well off the tees,

I'm playing really good and I'm hitting the ball very well off the tee. The only part of my game that is not as strong as last year is probably my putting. It's kind of gone down some. I threw away a lot of tournaments this year.

I'm not going to beg, ... I'm not the guy to ... get on my knees and say, 'Hey, write good things about me.' ... I have to worry about what I feel and not about what other people feel.

Chad is a very good front-runner. He?s not scared.

The conditions are perfect. When it's warm, the ball does go farther and it makes the golf hole a lot shorter. That's why the first hole I hit driver, nine-iron and yesterday I hit a driver, five-iron. So that's the difference with the wind.

The key was hitting more fairways, and when you hit more fairways you get chances for birdies. You can't make birdies from the rough here.

I told the guys, 'Good, good, good. Let's go to the next tee box.

It's just tough out there. The winds were swirling around, and it was difficult to pick clubs.

The long putts are difficult for me on the green, especially when the wind is blowing. I played decent. I didn't play great.

I've learned so much through life. Starting off in Asia, the cultures, the people you meet, the poverty you see. It's been a great education for me, and I've loved every minute of it.

I open the driving range and I close it. I thought you ought to know that I work hard. I like practising. I enjoy it. If I did not enjoy it I would not do it. What is the point of going back to the hotel, having a drink and talking a load of bull?

The green is so narrow that if you over-club, you've got an impossible bunker shot. If you're short, you're pretty much dead.

I am proud of my achievements, my work ethic, and the way I live my life. The PGA Tour not only treated me unfairly, but displayed a lack of professionalism that should concern every professional golfer and fan of the game.

There are probably guys who could be superstars but aren't because they didn't work at it.

Sometimes, we should maybe sit back and look at all we have. It's because of golf and the tour. I mean, this life we lead is unbelievable.

I'd like to have a little better relationship with the media. It's just that I don't think the media is comfortable with me.

Golf is a passion that will stay with me forever. That's all I know.

If I don't like someone, I'll let that person know. I'm not very diplomatic. I understand that.

When they say America is the land of opportunity, it's true. If you work hard, people appreciate you.

You win one and then you win another. You feel more comfortable and more confident, and it snowballs. You can't wait to get to the next hole and play better.

Whenever you're in a position to win, you don't want to let it go.

I just play the game. I hit a shot and wait for the next guy to hit his. I don't think between shots-that's my nature.

I want to play golf, practice and not do much else. I don't drink, I don't smoke and I hate going places where you have to yell at someone who is about a foot away from you.

It never really crossed my mind that I was ever going to win a major. I always said that if you win a major, that's fine. If you don't, you tried your best.

My journey has been a very slow build-up. Each year has been a step upward. I've never actually gone backward.

I've won a lot of times with my wife and son here, and I've won solo. I don't think there's a formula for when the come out and when they don't I'm simply happy to win.

Galleries are nice to me. I sign a lot of autographs.

The people who know me, the people who see the passion I have for this game and the respect for it, they know that I don't cut any corners in the way I approach golf.

It's like getting the Williams sisters to play (tennis) against a man, and they're far better athletes than she (Sorenstam) is.

Dr. Parent has been a great influence on my mental game. ZEN GOLF is the best book at connecting golf and the mind together. It's for everyone, it really helps, and you're really going to enjoy it.

The more they made noise, the more calm I became.

I think we have arrived at the stage where we are making it too complicated. I know guys who can't play two rounds before running to their teachers.

I can honestly say that in my time in America, I have not encountered any racism. When Jim Thorpe and I make fun of each other on the range, or even when a white player makes a joke about my color, I take it as what it is-a joke-and give it back accordingly.

I have this reputation of not wanting to talk to the media, which isn't true. What I don't like-what a lot of us don't understand-is how we can say one thing and it turns up in print as something else.

I have a lot of friends, in and out of golf, and there is a mutual trust. I'm very serious at the course. Maybe if I joked around more around the press tent, your image of me would be different. But that's not me. And the golf course is my office. If I come up to you when you're writing a story, are you going to drop everything to talk? Or are you going to say you're too busy doing your job?

I'm going to go out and play really hard. If I have another win, it will be icing on the cake. But I don't take anything for granted.
