“When the tiger kills, the jackal profits”
Afghan Proverb
“Personal columnists are jackals and no jackal has been known to live on grass once he had learned about meat - no matter who killed the meat for him.”
Ernest Hemingway
“When she walked...she stretched out long and thin like a little tiger, and held her head high to look over the grass as if she were treading the jungle.”
Saskya Pandita
“When Tiger was on the team in Australia (at the 1998 Presidents Cup), he rode on the bus with everybody else, he was at every meeting, he had dinner with everybody every night. He was a perfect team member. I've got great respect for Tiger and I see nothing else coming from him other than what I saw in Australia.”
Jack Nicklaus
“Tiger was clever enough, when he got the ball rolling in 1997, to step on the gas. It was a blow that kind of stopped me. I basically lost two years of conditioning and a lot of confidence. When I gathered myself, the mistake I and some other top players made was looking at Tiger and saying, 'All right, now I'm going to challenge.' But he had passed us. We weren't in his league. When I realized that, I wasn't sure where I needed to start. I'd say 'OK, I'm going to hit balls now,' and I'd hit balls for six hours thinking that's how I'd get better. But that didn't do it. Then I began to think about my attitude, and Jos was there to refresh me. I think he's gotten me closer to Tiger. And now I think a lot of players are realizing what they really have to do to compete and get better.”
Ernie Els
“Maybe they've just got the itch when it comes to Tigers pitching. I can't figure it out. I'm waiting for them to go into a slump against us, for crying out loud.”
Brandon Inge
“She's a special player. She's our Tiger Woods. When I told her, 'Lisa, you got the ball,' it was an easy decision on my part because I can't think of anyone better in a big game.”
