Confidence is the most important single factor in this game, and no matter how great your natural talent, there is only one way to obtain and sustain it: work.

Sometimes the biggest problem is in your head. You’ve got to believe you can play a shot instead of wondering where your next bad shot is coming from.

I may not ever play another round of golf, … and if I end my career this way, it’s a pretty good way to end it.

Balls have been coming down that shelf,

They’ll be fine. Jim got much better as the day went on.

They all put Tiger. We had Tiger put down who he wants to play with and he put down a smiley face,

No, you don’t want to make another team look bad. I wouldn’t put anything into it.

I would like to know I shot under par, … If I play again, then it won’t make any difference. If I don’t play again, at least my last round was under par. I had...

It was obviously a great week for me and an exciting week, one that was kind of fun to look back on. It’s about the only television event when I see it come on television,...

Ask yourself how many shots you would have saved if you never lost your temper, never got down on yourself, always developed a strategy before you hit, and always played within your own capabilities.

Sometime in the next three years a young Jack Nicklaus might come along to challenge Tiger, … Or maybe nobody comes along and Tiger may win another 15 majors. He seems to have the talent,...

I can’t practice too much. My body hurts a bit if I play each day.

Now I have a better understanding of the average player. When I started I had definite opinions about the way things should be done.

My gosh, he hits the ball a long way.

I put my big bag on the airplane last night, and I told him I was going to put rocks in it. He says, ‘Oh, God, you brought your big bag.’ (I said), ‘Well, Charlie,...

I had a good team that year but they never won the 18th hole all week. Lost it every time,

I had a group of guys that was pretty special, … They wanted to win, they bonded together, they worked hard with each other and they tried everything we could to get the right pairings....

I think I fail a bit less than everyone else.

I had dinner with Ernie Els. I think he said he hit a 4-iron and a 7-iron.

When I want a long ball, I spin my hips faster.

You know, that’s my best round of the year! And I still didn’t make the cut.

I should’ve gotten away from this five years ago but how do you stop playing? You pick a time and say, ‘This is it’,

He’ll tell me what he wants to do. I’ll wait until then.

It’s probably a pretty darn good move on his part. Length is of the utmost importance on this golf course, but accuracy is also an important thing, so that’s probably not a bad idea.

I don’t know whether they want to play, as you say, for me [this year], but I think they want to play. I think they want to be part of the team.

They’re going to tinker with it until they get it right. I’m sure they’re as frustrated there as I am designing my golf courses … They’re doing the best they can.

There isn’t a flaw in his golf or his makeup. He will win more majors than Arnold Palmer and me combined. Somebody is going to dust my records. It might as well be Tiger, because...

But No. 7? Wow. I had dinner with Ernie the other night, and he played 4-iron and 7-iron. A 4-iron into that green? Ernie Els? What is Mike Weir playing, a 4-wood? That’s the issues...

I was delighted to finish with a 72, the best round I’ve shot this year. I’ve played well and I’ve missed the cut by three shots. Then you know it’s time to leave.

I expect I’ll be just as emotional at St. Andrews,

We played three days, four rounds of golf, and we are dead even. We’ve got two teams that are so even, it’s unbelievable. What’s going to happen tomorrow? Who knows?

The Presidents Cup has come of age, … The event in South Africa moved it up a big notch. It showed to the world that the game is a game and not a war. It’s...

That’s their choice. They weren’t supposed to. I saw a few of our guys signing autographs. It’s a player’s choice. You try to protect the players to allow them to get their practice in.

From a tournament standpoint that will be it for me,

First hole, I hit a driver, 3-wood and a 7-iron.

I also said that if he won the PGA Championship I would make him my first alternate and still have him serve as my captain’s assistant,

He has the finest, fundamentally sound golf swing I’ve ever seen.

I can still play decent. I just can’t play like Jack Nicklaus. He used to play pretty good.

That I could still summon what I had back when, that I could still use it coming down the stretch, that was special for me.

Nan hit the ball farther than I did, … I said, ‘When was the last time you played golf?’ She said, ‘Oh, about five years ago.’

How do you compare what he’s doing, because nobody has ever done what he’s doing. He’s dominated way beyond how anybody’s ever dominated.

I promise you it is very simple to bring the golf ball back 10% and still keep its characteristics. The players don’t have to change their drivers, they don’t have to change their irons. If...

That 18th hole [in ’87] cost them the matches, … The 18th hole this week won us the matches. You’ve got to be able to play the last hole and finish. Believe in yourself. Believe...

My biggest fear in coming here this week was that I didn’t want to shoot a couple of 80-somethings,

A perfectly straight shot with a big club is a fluke.

My expectations are to win. I’ve had six years of disappointment. But I hope to win every time I play.

I’m an American — not a Scot or a Brit, … St. Andrews and Scotland … RBS has realized that’s been a special part of my life and my career, and they wanted to commemorate...

Obviously, I’m going to have to play well. I doubt if par will make the cut. We’ll just have to see.

It feels a lot better to have a win. I may never captain another team. I may never play another round of golf. If I end my career this way, what a way to end...

Had we picked first, … that would have been our first team.
