A Nicklaus Design golf course is done by the guys in my company that I work with, that have been trained in my vision, and they do what they think I might do.

You can win tournaments when you're mechanical, but golf is a game of emotion and adjustment. If you're not aware of what's happening to your mind and your body when you're playing, you'll never be able to be the very best you can be.

If a guy is a good athlete, he'll end up being a pretty decent golfer if he just takes it up. But you never master it even the best players in the world never master the game.

Confidence is believing in your own ability, knowing what you have to do to win. My confidence was developed through preparation.

Augusta National is a young man's golf course, and you really need a young man's nerves to play on it.

Well, the biggest rival I had in my career was me.

You have to watch your handicap. My son Steve says, Never make a putt you don't have to.

What's interesting about golf is that most athletes end up gravitating toward golf because it is such a difficult sport.

Public appearances are a headache. I hold mine down to a minimum.

Sometimes the biggest problem is in your head. You've got to believe you can play a shot instead of wondering where your next bad shot is coming from.

But if I played well and prepared myself properly, then all I had to do was control myself and put myself in a position to win.
