It set the stage for them being ahead. It’s the difference in them being ahead. We were hoping for the same situation.

I don’t know why in the world they’d want to care about winning one for an old man, … They need to win one for themselves. Five years is a pretty good drought for a...

I have always said that if I am healthy, competitive enough, and can contribute to the tournament by being a part of the field, then the Memorial Tournament is the one event I would like...

When he won his match, I told him, ‘We’ll, you’ve doubled your allotment for the week,’

Professional golf is the only sport where, if you win 20% of the time, you’re the best.

It was at the Sahara. Ang hadn’t yet cashed my check when we walked up to the craps table together. He had 40 bucks in his pocket when he picked up the dice. Forty-five minutes...

I’d rather be one point ahead than one point behind, but then again at this point in the matches it doesn’t mean a lot.

Golf is a game of precision, not strength.

You go ask players why they take it off. I’ll bet they’ll tell you they saw players take it off, so they do, too.

We are thrilled with this program and proud of the money we raised last year for cardiovascular research, … It is important for all of us to increase our understanding of these diseases and take...

I suppose I should have carried it earlier in my career, but I just was so stubborn because I liked my 1-iron so much. I didn’t have much problem hitting the 1-iron up in the...

I’m not a golfer anymore. They’re young. I’m an old man trying to figure out some way to get out of the way.

Tiger’s record may not be the best in the Presidents Cup, … but I tell you what, he gets pumped up to play.

He had a lot of talent, but didn’t have much dedication, wasn’t organized, didn’t know how to learn, didn’t know how to comprehend what he was doing, didn’t try to learn how to get better.

I think with today’s equipment you probably can.

If Jack was in his prime today, I don’t think he could keep up with Tiger.

We’ll see how they look the next couple days and if it’s what they want to do, that’s fine.

I may not captain another team, and I may not play another competitive round of golf, … If that’s the way it is, this is a pretty good way to end it.

I remember in ’98, Greg Norman had gone to [International captain] Peter Thomson and asked him specifically not to play him against Tiger. He’d been hurt earlier in the year, and so on, and just...

I don’t even remember what I did that year.

The first guy on the moon throws a golf ball, not a football. He throws a golf ball.

As I sat down, Norman started making birdies. I got nervous, so I got up and started walking around. They didn’t make as many birdies when I walked around, so I walked around the rest...

Tiger told me, ‘I want Greg if you can get him. Thomson said, ‘Greg asked me to stay away from him, and I said, ‘Well, you do the best you can to keep him away,...

With today’s technology, I think you probably can. He’d better be pretty long to start with.

Focus on remedies, not faults.

I’m sure he’s far more disappointed in his golf than he is his health.

They all put Tiger,

I told David I think the choice is yours whether you want to play or not,

It feels a lot better to have a win, there’s no question about that,

[Woods has even overwhelmed the most discerning of critics.] I kept saying, ‘I can’t understand why we don’t have anybody else playing that well,’ … I am more understanding now. He’s that much better.

I’ve said numerous occasions, I think that the potential of the Presidents Cup to be greater than the Ryder Cup is there, simply because the scope is larger. I think there are probably more good...

Don’t be too proud to take lessons. I’m not.

On the first hole, I felt like I could drive it through the fairway. I don’t know what Tom hit and he hit it in about 15-16 feet and Raymond was in closer and I...

David said he’s feeling fine. He hit the ball well, just didn’t make any putts. He’s quite ready to go. It wouldn’t be a very difficult guess who I might sit out one round on...

Tee the ball high. Because years of experience have shown me that air offers less resistance to dirt.

We had to pay for our gloves, and I always felt that every time you took it off, you stretched it [by pulling at the fingers]. So I left them on.
