I find it flattering to be compared to Tige.

To play well you have to have good balance in your life. Tiger has found that. If you play golf long enough you’ll learn that life is more than golf.

I stay patient. I don’t go out there and try to set a course record. That’s probably one of my strengths and one reason I’ve been able to win major championships.

When I first came on tour, I was playing for money. Now I’m playing to win golf tournaments and the money is more than I ever dreamed I could make.

I’ve learned a lot about my game every time I play golf in a men’s event.

Ron Sirak, a golf writer and friend, was quoted as saying, “Annika is no longer a female golfer. She’s a golfer.” That’s truly all I ever aspired to be.

I still get butterflies on the first tee. I still get sweaty hands, and my heart pumps a lot going down the 18th. But I know what winning is all about now, and that’s a feeling that I like.

On the first tee I kept telling myself, “Trust yourself, you can do it.”

I push myself to be the best I can be. I don’t worry about what other people are doing, and I don’t think about things I can’t control.

I thought I could get complete relief. I thought that was the rule, ... They said, 'No, it's a straight shot.' So we disagreed.
