Well, I think that Augusta is not the same golf course that I grew up on. Bobby Jones' philosophy was giving you space off the tee if you put it in the right side of the fairway, you ended up getting the right angle to the green.

The long irons are the nemesis of the average golfer. I'm convinced that the underlying reason for this is that he keeps hearing how hard they are to handle. They're not that difficult, truly.

Achievement is largely the product of steadily raising one's level of aspiration and expectation.

Sometimes, I'm an ogre. I can be short. I'll walk into the office some days and I've gotten up on the wrong side of the bed, and everybody knows it. I'm a perfectionist. I like to be organized, and I like to get everything done today.

The one strongest, most important part of my game is that I want to be the best. I won't accept anything less that that. My ability to concentrate and work toward hat goal has been my greatest asset.

Image
I'm more proud of the good rounds I've played while hitting the ball badly than of the great rounds while hitting the ball well. I understand my swing well enough to get myself through a tournament and win it. I've made it work.

The longer you play, the better chance the better player has of winning.

Temper is the one thing you can't get rid of by losing it.

I knew that if I kept the pressure on and didn't do anything stupid I would probably win.

I guess that's why they call it Hell.

Golf is a game of precision, not strength.

Once you play a tournament, you're playing against the golf course, you're playing against yourself and trying to do the best you can.

I never hit a shot, not even in practice, without having a very sharp, in-focus picture of it in my head.

When I want a long ball, I spin my hips faster.

Focus on remedies, not faults.

I play the Father/Son every year on the PGA TOUR Champions. I split it between Jackie and Gary as my playing partners.

Barbara [my wife] and I said a long time ago that if we were in a position to help somebody, it would be kids. So when we started the Memorial Tournament (in Columbus, OH), Nationwide Children's Hospital, which saved my daughter's life when she was less than a year old, was the beneficiary from day one.

I was never satisfied if I didn't win a major. I mean, not that year or any major I played, I wasn't satisfied unless I won it. But that's what our goals are. I'm sure that these guys' goals are the same as mine. They want to win every time they play. If you don't win, then you're not happy, obviously.

The importance of my legacy is not the golf course, it's what my life is, and what my life is intended to be. The game of golf is a game. My family is my life.

Golf really excites me only when the course is difficult and challenging. I love competing. The pressure of competition against fine holes and fine players makes me feel very much alive.
