Golf is a better game played downhill.

During the period from 1934 to about two or three years ago, there really wasn’t much done to this golf course. Why all of a sudden do we need a new golf course? Because we’ve...

Most people work all their life to retire and play golf. I played golf all my life to retire and go to work.

I would go to Europe and see him hitting balls,

We’re going to have a lot of fun.

Tiger’s solid in their heads — I promise you that.

I may never captain another team. If I end my career this way, it’s a good way to end it.

I basically stopped playing tournament golf for all intents and purposes in 2000, … I’ve played in the odd seniors tournament here and there and crept back into playing the Masters, just to play. I’ve...

I know what Augusta is trying to do. Whether they’ve gone overboard, I’m not sure. But they’ve eliminated a lot of guys who are able to win. That’s the change at Augusta I have a...

He plays with a style with which I am not personally familiar.

This is a game. That’s all it is. It’s not a war.

How people keep correcting us when we are young! There is always some bad habit or other they tell us we ought to get over. Yet most bad habits are tools to help us through...

They both seem fine,

A lot of people considered that a major at that time because of Jones’ situation and what he did, … I think as time has gone on, and so much focus has gone on the...

Now? I’ve got nothing better to do.

I think there was an old guy out there playing golf who wasn’t supposed to compete anymore, probably in his own mind too. But I started putting pretty well a few weeks before the tournament...

Hey, would you like to play with Furyk so he could carry you again tomorrow?

Bobby Jones believed golf was primarily a second-shot game.

Resolve never to quit, never to give up, no matter what the situation.

A kid grows up a lot faster on the golf course. Golf teaches you how to behave.

When Tiger was on the team in Australia (at the 1998 Presidents Cup), he rode on the bus with everybody else, he was at every meeting, he had dinner with everybody every night. He was...

One yard too short,

[The Official Masters Golf Ball — fact or fantasy?] There is only one place in the game that could take that position, and that would be Augusta, … The only tournament that could get away...

It’s a lot of fun to try to strategize and work it out on paper. But no matter what teams you throw out there, anybody can beat anybody. I think we’ve got some great matches.

I’ve had that injury before. I don’t know that any injury hurts more. He had therapy from the second hole on, so he’s going to be sore. That’s why I put him off last so...

Darkness? You’re going to have to ask a higher power. I don’t have the answer to that question.

More than Arnold and I put together.

You son of a bitch. You’re something else. I’m really proud of you.

I picked St. Andrews to end my career because they’ve taken me as one of theirs, … In the States, they have a purely sports gallery. There’s nothing wrong with that, but over here it’s...

Who knows what’s going to happen in singles? We’ve played three days and we’re dead even. The two teams are so even it’s unbelievable.

I haven’t made my living playing golf in 30 years, … But I have made a living designing golf courses.

Many of the players have kids. What we have with our team and what we have with our families is more important than any scoreboard.

They should have their own golf game in their heads. They can’t do anything about Tiger.

I went over to Freddie and said, ‘How does this break?’ … Freddie said, ‘I don’t know. I just closed my eyes, hit it and it went in.’

I said, `Steve, they’ve invited us to play as a father-son team in Kansas City. Would you like to go play? … And he said, `Yeah, sure, I’d love to go play.’ So that’s why...

I promise you it’s very simple to bring the ball back 10 percent and still keep the same characteristics.

Whether they’ve gone overboard, I’m not sure, but they’ve eliminated a lot of guys.

I’m a firm believer that in the theory that people only do their best at things they truly enjoy. It is difficult to excel at something you don’t enjoy.

Three holes to go and you need two pars and a birdie to win.

How do you compare what he is doing? Nobody has ever done what he is doing. Certainly I didn’t, … He has dominated way beyond how anyone has ever dominated.

It’s a funny game. We got you guys pretty good yesterday, but it could turn around.

It may sound like I put [Woods and Furyk] together with the choice knowing the issue of Jim Furyk. You heard me in here yesterday. I didn’t know of any issue with Jim Furyk. All...

It’s the only TV show when I see it come on, I stop and watch a little of it. It seems like yesterday.

I guess that’s why they call it Hell.

Concentration is a fine antidote to anxiety.

I may never captain another team, … I may not play another round of (competitive) golf. If I end my career like this, it’s a pretty good way to end it.

That is the best I have seen Tiger swing — perhaps ever.

I hope Tiger comes back for morning play. He’s got to go to dinner somehow, guys.
