I had come to the point when I realized it was unlikely that my film career was going to move beyond a certain level of role.

This thing is for the game of golf, yeah, but trust me, the Europeans don't have that mentality. ↗

Tiger is the greatest thing that's happened to the tour in a long time. He has brought incredible attention to golf at a time of year when football and the World Series always take precedence. Everything I've heard about him seems to be true. ↗
