The object of golf is to beat someone. Make sure that someone is not yourself.
You don't have to be brilliant, only a little bit wiser than the other guys, on average, for a long, long, time.
You must always be faster and better than the others.
Instead of playing to win, I was playing not to lose. It reminds me of the story I once heard about two friends being chased by a bear, when one turned to the other and said, "I just realized that I don't need to outrun the bear; I only need to outrun you.
I always thought the best part about sports was the bigger, faster kids who were supposed to be more athletic than me - I always beat.
Well, I beat my man. Now it's up to you to beat yours.
We've got to be outstanding when we start and let other people chase against us.
There are always going to be people who run faster, jump higher, dive deeper, and come up drier.
The nature of human beings is that we're competitive, and the chances are there's someone out there who's going to work harder than you and want it more than you.
I want to be bigger than everybody.
I'm definitely more talented than most of the guys I know.
I'm a standard overachiever.
If you're gonna win, you wanna beat the best.
We're involved in racing because there's that element of competition. But there's that desire to push yourself beyond the natural comfort zone and the boundaries that are preset if you like, and to be better than the rest.
I'm always trying to stay above the rest, and that's by doing the extra work.
Success to me is anybody who does something better than somebody else.
I've been very competitive by nature from a young age, whether it was eating a bowl of pasta faster than somebody else, or always wanting to be the first one in line.
Honestly, I'm so competitive that sometimes I don't understand what other people are going through.
I am used to the competition for places.
I really feel like I have the potential - and I'm not even kidding about it - I have the potential to be the best player in the league.
The goal never changes. It's about beating the guy in front of you.
I prefer to work when there are people against whom I have to struggle.
