World number two Jordan Spieth tries his best to stay away from the constant comparisons to Tiger Woods.
Spieth's dominant maiden Masters win in April was compared to Woods' 1997 triumph, the first of the latter's 14 major victories.
But the 21-year-old Spieth, preparing for the Crowne Plaza Invitational starting Thursday, is unwilling to buy into comparisons to one of the game's greats.
"I didn't even know that my putt on the 72nd hole of the Masters was to break his record. No, I try to stay away from that," he said on Tuesday.
"Again, it goes back to what I was saying earlier. We have goals as a team that we set. We set lofty ones to try and accomplish them, try not to compare to anybody else.
"There's a lot of short term and a lot of long-term goals that I have yet to work hard for, and that's all that I really focus on.
"I try not to read or watch anything, strictly because, again, it's very tough for somebody to put into perspective if you haven't had the experience yourself, and so it's tough, because sometimes it's worded differently.
"And I experienced it when I was in junior golf, reading and maybe looking at videos and all this of what people are saying about comparisons to different players, and it didn't make much sense to me, so I just kind of swore off of it then."
Spieth returns to his home state - Texas - for the Crowne Plaza Invitational in his first tournament since missing the cut at the Players Championship.
Returning home is giving Spieth even more motivation to succeed.
"I obviously put expectations on myself this year for these events, as I do every year. That's not a negative thing. That's positive," he said.
"I focus as if they're major championships, and that's how I approach them ahead of time. So there's nothing better than playing well in front of your hometown family and friends.
"So I'm going to try and do a little bit better this year than I have in the past couple of years.
"But still obviously can very much enjoy what it means to come back with the green jacket, but try and enjoy that off the course."
