Script:

SOUNDBITE (English), Tiger Woods, World number four
"Absolutely, absolutely. I didn't want to play the way I did because it hurt, and it hurt a lot. Was I good at it? Yeah, I was good at it, but I couldn't go down that road, and there's no way I could have had longevity in the game if I would have done that. Four knee surgeries later, here we are. I finally have a swing that it doesn't hurt, and I am still generating power, but it doesn't hurt anymore."

SOUNDBITE (English), Tiger Woods, World number four
"Well, I think it's something that I've done over the years. I've won major championships, and I haven't done it since '08. We all go through periods where that doesn't happen. Some periods are entire careers. But I think I understand how to win major championships. The key is just giving yourself chances. That's the key, giving yourself opportunities on the back nine on Sunday each and every time. That's one of the reasons why Jack (Nicklaus) was so good at it. He won 18, but you think about it, he finished second 19 times, so he was there. You're not going to win them all, but if you're there a lot, chances are you're going to win your share."
