SOUNDBITE: (English) Tiger Woods:

(on his new swing)

"I have completely changed my release pattern. I have gone back to the older release pattern. It is something I am familiar with but still need to work on it. But it really helps my short game. I am hitting the ball better, I am hitting it further. I just need more time doing it. I am excited for the future because taking the time off I did after my terrible west coast swing to come back and play at Augusta, my first time back, and be able to play that well. It gives me a lot of confidence heading into the summer."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Tiger Woods:

(on promoting golf among the kids)

"Most sports you have a certain life span in the sport. But in golf you can play till, I see guys at 80s… I have a guy in my home club who is 91-year-old and still out there playing. He is on the range practising. I think that is just incredible. I think this is a great learning vehicle for kids. I think we need to give more kids the opportunity to be able to play golf. Sometimes it is too exclusionary. I think that with the inclusion of golf in the Olympics, it helps. I think that is going to help foster more countries to get involved in golf and get the kids interested in the game of golf."
