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.

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.

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

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'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.

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.

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