Winning is a drive, it's a thing that you feel like when I go to bed at night I go to sleep.
Arnold Palmer
Image
What other people may find in poetry or art museums, I find in the flight of a good drive: the white ball sailing up into the sky, reaching its apex, falling and finally dropping to the turf, just the way I planned it.

I've always been a big thinker that the more international competition that we create through sports the better relationships we'll have with countries.

If you're stupid enough to whiff, you should be smart enough to forget it.

Even before you step up to the ball, have a full battle plan for the hole worked out.

The most rewarding things you do in life are often the ones that look like they cannot be done.

Trouble is bad to get into but fun to get out of. If you're in trouble, eighty percent of the time there's a way out. If you can see the ball, you can probably hit it and if you can hit it, you can move it and if you can move it, you might be able to knock it in the hole. At least it's fun to try.

I still enjoy what I do. I haven't been playing much golf and none since I dislocated my shoulder, but I come to the office every day.

Golf is deceptively simple, endlessly complicated. A child can play it well and a grown man can never master it. It is almost a science, yet it is a puzzle with no answer.

As for 1994 [ U.S. Open], I didn't do very well, but it was a great occasion for me even though I was not playing the way I had hoped. And it was obviously a very emotional day that last day, but it was a great memory for me and I have had a lot of great memories at Oakmont over the years.

I'm not much for sitting around and thinking about the past or talking about the past. What does that accomplish?

Here is a philosophy of boldness to take advantage of every tiny opening toward victory.

I played high school golf, I played amateur golf and I started getting officers. I was playing pretty good, won amateur tournaments as a junior, and the whole thing.

I suppose I could think of a lot of things to say about the fact that I still play. But I don't really need to. I can tell you this, that I enjoy it. I still enjoy it. I like to get out in the air and I like to walk and I like to do the things that are involved in playing golf.

Sam Snead will fly anywhere in my plane with me. Sam's not as worried about the danger as he is about saving money.

Putting is a fascinating, aggravating, wonderful, terrible and almost incomprehensible part of the game of golf.

It's a funny thing, the more I practice the luckier I get.

I remember what a thrill it was to attend my first Champions Dinner. Just being in the same room with some of the guys I had admired growing up and to be there because I had won The Masters was quite an honor. I still attend the dinner every year and it is one of the highlights of my time at Augusta during Masters week.

An athlete must have a certain cockiness to succeed and win, but an athlete must also care about the game he or she plays.
