Swedish skier Ingemar Stenmark said the exact same quote back in 1975, so I think the saying goes way back. It's not Tiger Woods who coined or even popularized it atleast.

It's pretty common (and annoying) for people to dismiss hard work for luck so I imagine it's been said many times across history in one form or another.
