That's sort of overkill. We've had 70 years of the Ryder Cup, and it's gotten along just fine. The pendulum will swing back without making a monumental thing about it.

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.

Resolve never to quit, never to give up, no matter what the situation.

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.

Golf was my vehicle to competition and I can't play if I can't compete.

The fact is, I diet every day of my life. I have to work at it. But I diet so I can pig out.

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.

If I had only one more round to play, I would choose to play it at Pebble Beach. I've loved this course from the first time I saw it. It's possibly the best in the world.

Did you know there's probably more golf played in Iceland than most places in the world? They play 24 hours a day in the summertime and the northern part is warmer than the southern part.

You have to trust your kids. They have to experience life, and you just hope you've provided them a foundation for what's right and what isn't.

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 never missed a putt in my mind.

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.

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.

I never worried about money, except that I knew that all I had to worry about was golf. As long as I could play, I was going to make money.

I don't care how old your children get, you're always a dad.

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.

I think I fail a bit less than everyone else.
