The greatest thing about tomorrow is, I will be better than I am today...There is no such thing as a setback. The lessons I learn today I will apply tomorrow, and I will be better.
One of the greatest golfers of all time, Tiger Woods can actually be called one of the most famous athletes in history.
About Tiger Woods' real height
Tiger Woods' height has been listed as anywhere from a flat 6" to 6'2" in sports magazines, websites, etc, during his long and illustrious career.
But the man himself has consistently claimed to be only 6 feet tall.
We took a good long look at Tiger Woods and compared his height with that of Jimmy Fallon (5'11½"), Barack Obama (6'1"), Peyton Manning (6'5½"), etc.
And now we think that Tiger Woods is just as tall as he claims -- not taller or shorter, just a regular 6 feet tall guy.
Btw, Tiger Woods' normal weight is 185 lb (84 kg).
The real height of Tiger Woods is
6 ft (183 cm)

Tiger Woods is one of the greatest ever to do it, so his quotes are worth heeding.
How he became successful?
People don't understand that when I grew up, I was never the most talented. I was never the biggest. I was never the fastest. I certainly was never the strongest. The only thing I had was my work ethic, and that's been what has gotten me this far.
On having a chance to be a role model.
If you are given a chance to be a role model, I think you should always take it because you can influence a person's life in a positive light, and that's what I want to do. That's what it's all about.
On being wrong.
Money and fame made me believe I was entitled. I was wrong and foolish.
On belief on going to a tournament.
There's no sense in going to a tournament if you don't believe that you can win it. And that is the belief I have always had. And that is not going to change.
What ultimately matters.
Achievements on the golf course are not what matters, decency and honesty are what matter.
Forcing sports onto kids.
Don't force your kids into sports. I never was. To this day, my dad has never asked me to go play golf. I ask him. It's the child's desire to play that matters, not the parent's desire to have the child play. Fun. Keep it fun.
On his love of golf.
I'm addicted. I'm addicted to golf.
On doing what he loves.
I get to play golf for a living. What more can you ask for - getting paid for doing what you love.
On his dad.
My dad was my best friend and greatest role model. He was an amazing dad, coach, mentor, soldier, husband, and friend.
On people close to you.
If you're lucky to have three close people in your life, you're blessed.
On failing.
It's ok to fail. Failing does not shape your personality; it's how you react to your failure. Do you dust yourself off and mope or do you dust yourself off and come back stronger the next time? Eventually, you will win. It may not happen the next time, it may take a little time but you will win in the end.
On decisions.
We all make decisions. But in the end, our decisions make us.
On shortcuts.
Look, there are no shortcuts in golf, and there are no shortcuts in life. You have to work for it. Dream big and keep your dreams for yourself. Because the dreams that you have are those things that separate you from others. If you give up your dream, you give up hope. And without hope, you are nothing.
Talent vs. skill.
Talent is something you are born with, and skill is something you develop. 99% of what you need to succeed in golf skills.
On pressure.
Under pressure, you can win with your mind.
The hardest part about golf.
I think the hardest part about Golf is being committed to your wife.
On being nervous.
If you're not nervous, it means you don't care.
On regret.
Never beat yourself up, because there are plenty of people that will do it for you.
What life is about?
I think life is all about having a balance, trying to find equilibrium, and not getting things one way or the other.
On having high goals.
There's nothing wrong with having your goals really high and trying to achieve them. That's the fun part. You may come up short. I've come up short on a lot of my goals, but it's always fun to try and achieve them.
Emotions in the game.
I think the guys who are really controlling their emotions ... are going to win.
His biggest asset in the game.
My mind is my biggest asset. I expect to win every tournament I play.
Winning vs. getting better.
Winning is not always the barometer of getting better.
His life after success.
Nobody could have prepared me for the life I've had to become accustomed to.
