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

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.

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

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?

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

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