There was a time when the guys who [hit it long] were considered dumb-asses, because they just bombed it and didn’t care where it was going. I can hear Lee Trevino saying, ‘If that guy...

I’ve never made a nickel in my lifetime where I wasn’t a little nervous getting it.

All I know is, these are the greatest courses on the planet. And the greatest players usually come to the greatest courses. … So if they’re not here, you have to ask yourself some other...

They turned it around and got it headed back toward the lake. It was headed for the crowd to chew on a youngster.

I would rather be the action than reporting the action, … Unfortunately, I’ve played so poorly that reporting is my best alternative.

The greens for the first time, really all year, are going to be firm. That takes a little getting used to.

It’s hard for me to look at it, because it’s looking into a future that I don’t have. I don’t have any tenure out here. I’m still looking at this week and next week. I’m...

I hit it well [Thursday], … I only missed three fairways, but my wedge game hurt me and I just didn’t score. I didn’t really hit my wedge that well [Friday].

The longer Bermuda gets, the weaker the grass is, the blade itself, and it doesn’t withstand the weight of the ball and the ball drops all the way to the bottom. Out West, the blade’s...

But when those players get in the room, they’re already outnumbered 5-4. I wish the players had a little more say.

Payne Stewart loved life. He was the life of every party.

It’s just experience. There’s not a whole lot you can tell a guy shorten his follow-through, or release the head more, stuff like that. You’ve got to kind of figure it out on your own.

I’m really interested in being a player. I’m not pursuing TV at all. If TV pursues me, that’s different. I don’t even want to entertain it. I think that helps me as a player.

Payne Stewart was a vicious competitor. He only played to win, … Only God can change hearts.

I really believed I could do both, but the realization is that you can’t. To play decently, you have to be single minded.

He’ll probably be effective, because those guys haven’t seen a 68-mph fastball since Little League.

I didn’t even know how to shave at 15.

He was quoted as saying I had a homemade grip and a hatchet swing. I was quoted as saying he’s the slowest player on earth, but in all those years, I’d never had a conversation...

The bigger the event, the higher he’ll raise the bar, … He’s Michael Jordan in long pants.

I’m highly disappointed, for a lot of people. Not for me, because I have a golf career. I’m disappointed for all the people behind the scenes that you’re never going to see or hear of.

You think anyone else would have taken him in?

There is nothing wrong with [calling it after] 54 holes. The whole way it was handled didn’t make any sense to me.

Greensboro’s got too much history for the Tour to pull out, … You’re telling me you’re going to pull the plug on a tournament that’s been around for as long as this one has? That...

Now he’s calling me all the time.

I don’t hate it as much today (Thursday) as I did yesterday (when the pro-am was played in strong winds). We players fuss and moan and complain that all the courses on Tour are the...

The best players in the world are playing to make history. There are only four tournaments you can win to make history, and TPC (The Players Championship) is not one of them. And neither are...

Jack absolutely has to have this. Even if he pars here, he needs to finish birdie-birdie-birdie to make the cut. If he misses, there’s no chance.

I think you’re seeing it happen. I think everybody had doubts. I think he might have even. I definitely had doubts. His swing just didn’t look as good.

Too many questions. I’ll answer a question with a question: Do you know how it’s going to work, because I sure don’t?

I like TV ? I don’t love TV. I would rather be the action, not reporting the action.

That’s just a testament to the golf courses. It’s a diverse test. They put bunkers in places where those big boys will find them and I won’t. It’s different this week.
