If Ernie Els were on our team, I think we'd have a better team than the European Ryder Cup team, ... Not to say if we played them we would beat them ? I think we would. But it's a stronger team.
It's a good idea for future Presidents Cups to have a reserve ready to play. The people want to see the match played as scheduled.
They've got to do it -- there's not even a debate, ... There must be a premium on driving.
It's exactly the same. You wait until the tournament starts. You'll hear the cheers. It will be great.
It's a strange game, ... Today you shoot 66. Tomorrow you shoot 73. It changes within hours.
It's a strange game, ... as the Scottish people say.
It was calling for a real good match.
It's like a mile race and you're 50 yards ahead. This is as close as it can be without being a tie.
I've got too much I want to do in life.
It's very long for me. I'm driving it into the face of every hill out there (and) had to hit a wood into every (par-4) hole.
I want to play one more than Arnie. I want to get to 51.
Any time you have two Presidents Cups in a row and you go to the 18th green, I mean, golf is the winner,
Arnold (Palmer) played 50 times. I'd like to play 51 times and then hang it up.
The first time I ever saw Arnold Palmer, I said, "There's a star." The first time I saw Jack Nicklaus, I said, "Superstar." I feel the same way about Tiger Woods.
