We don't know: some little black boy or girl growing up in the inner city might grow up and cure cancer for all of us - if we let them do it.

In every conceivable manner, the family is link to our past, bridge to our future.

My fondest hope is that 'Roots' may start black, white, brown, red, yellow people digging back for their own roots. Man, that would make me feel 90 feet tall.

The money I have made and will be making means nothing to me compared to the fact that about half of the black people I meet - ranging from the most sophisticated to the least sophisticated - say to me, 'I'm proud of you.' I feel strongly about always earning that and never letting black people down.

Essentially, my parents directed me in the right path. They were all for me turning professional and starting that journey as a family with my golf career.

My mother has never been involved in my professional life. I am very close to my mother but we keep it on a mother-daughter basis and not a work-related basis.

This is one of the benefits, as well as one of the difficulties of directing a member of your family. You know where the buttons are. You can push them if you want.

The best thing I probably do is - I'll say I'm a pretty darn good parent. I got good kids.
