My ability to concentrate and work toward that goal has been my greatest asset.
Jack Nicklaus
The worse you're performing, the more you must work mentally and emotionally. The greatest and toughest art in golf is playing badly well. All the true greats have been masters at it.
Jack Nicklaus
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.
Jack Nicklaus
Tom Watson, Tom Watson blew, what, two PGA Championships and a U.S. Open. Did it destroy his life? No, it didn't destroy his life. He learned from it. He went on to win a lot of major championships and obviously became one of the world's great players.

Temper is the one thing you can't get rid of by losing it.
Jack Nicklaus
Pressure is what you live for...if you are going to be successful in life, you're going to have pressure.
Jack Nicklaus
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.
Jack Nicklaus
I don't think about winning the Masters as part of the slam. You want to win the Masters because of what it means to the game.
Jack Nicklaus
Golf was my vehicle to competition and I can't play if I can't compete.
Jack Nicklaus
Why are we building golf courses? Because we enjoy being outside, bringing man and nature together.
Jack Nicklaus
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.
Jack Nicklaus
Golfers have a tendency to be very masochistic. They like to punish themselves for some reason. A lot of them like tough courses.
Jack Nicklaus
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.
Jack Nicklaus
I've always tried to play golf with a golf club. I have a hard time driving with my rifle. I mean, 18 is really narrow ... I have no problem with the course, except for the tee shot on 18.
Jack Nicklaus
The best way to cope with trouble is to stay out of it as much as possible.
Jack Nicklaus
As long as I'm prepared, I always expect to win.
Jack Nicklaus
I think we have more good players today [2016] than we've ever had in the game of golf. And I think that's saying a lot because we had a lot of good players when I played. I think you had a bit of a lag in there for a while, that Tiger was just so much better than everybody else that he really didn't put anybody in with him.
Jack Nicklaus
He's going to be around a long, long time, if his body holds up. That's always a concern with a lot of players because of how much they play. A lot of guys can't handle it. But it looks like Tiger Woods can.
Jack Nicklaus
If you want to hit it farther, hit it better.
Jack Nicklaus
Achievement is largely the product of steadily raising one's level of aspiration and expectation.
