If the Masters offered no money at all, I would be here trying just as hard.
I play golf with friends sometimes, but there are never friendly games.
You never fight your eye when you look at a hole. If it looks one way, play it that way. Don't make a big deal out of an easy shot.
I never played a round when I didn't learn something new about the game.
This is a game of misses. The guy who misses the best is going to win.
Selecting a stroke is like selecting a wife. To each his own.
I have found the game to be, in all factualness, a universal language wherever I traveled at home or abroad.
May thy ball lie in green pastures, and not in still waters.
Golf is not a game of good shots. It's a game of bad shots.
Shoot a lower score than everybody else.
Like most professional golfers, I have a tendency to remember my poor shots a shade more vividly than the good ones.
There is no similarity between golf and putting; they are two different games, one played in the air, and the other on the ground.
Golf is 20 percent talent and 80 percent management.
When I practiced, I practiced to get it right.
