WE’VE ALL HEARD THEM. And last month Golf Digest published them in a piece called “Our Favorite Tigerisms.” I’ve selected my favorites from Golf Digest’s favorites and turned them into a Top 10 list a la David Letterman.

- “Stevie” (the ex-caddie).
-
“Getting stuck” (the swing flaw).
-
“Steiny” (the agent).
-
“My swing was more of a wipey swing, just kind of wiping it out there, so I wasn’t getting a full transfer of energy, so now I’m swinging easier.”
-
“It all depends on the pins.”
-
“I figure there is no point in going to a tournament if you don’t think you can win.”
-
“It’s right there in front of you.”
-
“#&!?@%!!!”
-
“It’s all part of the process.”
-
“It is what it is.”
Honorable Mention
“My start lines were good. They were nice and tight.”
“I’m hitting it so much more flush.”
“If I can’t control my ‘traj’ I can’t hit the ball the right distance.”
“Marko” (the friend).
“I hit a lot of beautiful putts.”
Did we miss any?

"It is what it is." Covered by many though.
It's there, AG. See No. 1.
Some variation of having his ball "on a string" often crops up in interviews.
Oops, obviously losing it. Explains my round yesterday.
I'm right there with you, AG.
