Tiger recalls his time at Stanford

"I had such a great time playing golf at Stanford. Just all the practicing, playing and qualifying. It was always fun being around each other.

What sets Stanford apart is the combination of quality athletics with an unmatched educational experience. Our Provost was Condeleeza Rice. My economics teacher was one of President Clinton's advisors. You don't see that at most schools.

It was so intellectually stimulating to be challenged all the time. There was no way I could compete against some of those people. They were so smart. One kid had a photographic memory, and another built a computer from scratch.

Playing golf at Stanford prepared me in understanding time management skills. To make it through there, you have to manage your time. It's one of the great things I learned.

I really enjoyed being stimulated by the students and professors. Some were geniuses and others were Olympic athletes. It's amazing how well-rounded they are. That's what's so cool about it. You must soak up that experience. It was one of the best times in my life." Tiger Woods
