He’ll either tell me he can start and play or he’ll tell me he can’t. I don’t have any input in that. I think the spirit of the matches are that we want everybody to...

It was a special team,

I’m here really to play with him, … I suppose there’s another tournament besides that, too, isn’t there, one I’m competing in? The [pro-am] is why I’m here. While I’m here, we’ll see what I...

Ben Hogan was not really a big hitter. He was long enough. But Ben Hogan today? Ben Hogan today could not compete at Augusta because he did not have the massive length to compete against...

When asked ‘You really know your way around the course. What’s your secret?’ The holes are numbered.

My ability to concentrate and work toward that goal has been my greatest asset.

John Daly’s in another league. Now that I’m qualified for another league myself, maybe I should stay there.

to be greater than the Ryder Cup is simply because the scope is larger.

It’s a major championship in the game of golf, … But is it one of the ones that you want to put in that list? Because of Jones is the only way you would put...

We will not have a playoff in this event. We will have a tie and share it if we do the same thing. We felt that all 12 players had played so hard and had...

The only thing that Augusta did about the mid-60s when I was winning quite often, they added a few bunkers. It’s just very difficult to compare the game today with the game that I played....

I told him there was not going to be any ties. That you had to play to a conclusion. He misunderstood me, obviously.

My goal has always been to win more tournaments than anyone. I think we all try to do something in life that separates us from someone else.

They’ve totally eliminated what Bobby Jones tried to do.

Seems like yesterday. When I was in competition, and trying to play, to look back was not the right way to look, so I never paid much attention to it. But as you get older,...

I think they’ve ruined it from a tournament standpoint. They’ve totally eliminated what (Masters creator) Bobby Jones tried to do in the game of golf.

I haven’t figured it out. Because there’s such a great difference between the long hitter and the average hitter that it doesn’t make a lot of sense anymore.

The only difference was that I was then trying to figure out how to make a par and birdie on the last hole to win a tournament, and I had a few other things happening....

All I know is I’ve got a bunch of players coming in off the course and telling me the other team is making them look bad. Gary said he just didn’t understand (the agreement).

His status is uncertain,

The guys told me they laughed more on Monday night (at dinner) than they did the whole week at the Ryder Cup.

I think that bogey might have been good for me, because it put me back, brought me back to reality that I really had to still play golf. I wasn’t really in contention. It sort...

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.
