Golf is not, and never has been, a fair game.
Jack Nicklaus
Image
If there is one thing golf demands above all else, it is honesty.
Jack Nicklaus
Image
The fact is, I diet every day of my life. I have to work at it. But I diet so I can pig out.

Image
I knew that if I kept the pressure on and didn't do anything stupid I would probably win.
Jack Nicklaus
Image
Focus on remedies, not faults.
Jack Nicklaus
Image
I never hit a shot, not even in practice, without having a very sharp, in-focus picture of it in my head.

Pressure is what you live for...if you are going to be successful in life, you're going to have pressure.

I guess that's why they call it Hell.

I think my boys handled it pretty much the same way with their children, but my grandsons all ended up playing football or lacrosse.

Any golfer worth his salt has to cross the sea and try to win the British Open.

If you want to hit it farther, hit it better.

Nick O'Leary is a tough kid. He doesn't use gloves. It's freezing outside and he's obviously wearing short sleeves like all the other guys that let their guns stick out.

I have a couple [of grandsons] that are in college playing lacrosse. It's great and it's fun. But they all also play golf a little bit.

The US Open flag eliminates a lot of players. Some players just weren't meant to win the US Open. Quite often, they know it.

We don’t have to do a bunch of things to figure out how to win the Ryder Cup. Just go play golf. ... I’m a little bit too casual probably about a lot of things, but you can’t force good play. Good play comes from good hard work and actually being prepared to play, not being forced to play.

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.

I think in my case winning fans came as a result of winning tournaments. Certainly, I didn't have too many supporters when I came on Tour. I didn't look like an athlete, I was overweight, had a crew cut, baggy clothes and on top of that I didn't smile much. I was very serious about my game, literally and figuratively the heavy.

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.

I couldn't care less who I'm paired with. There's nobody I've ever played better or worse with, thank goodness. You don't want any factor to be outside your control. What if Arnie's Army had bothered me? What id I'd said, Oh geez, I'm paired with Palmer, I'd never had beaten him.

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.
