We also play a Father/Son at home and I play with Steve, too. I try to mix it up. We play two or three times a year, but that's about it.

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.

My ability to concentrate and work toward that goal has been my greatest asset.

I learned early in my career, where you get so wrapped up and so excited, that all of a sudden you don't think. So I worked very hard to keep myself suppressed. And that's one of the reasons I wasn't gregarious with the gallery.

Talent isn't as important as the work and dedication necessary to become competent.

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.

Golf is you against yourself.

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 love the golf courses because it brought the best out of me. It made me prepare, made me work at it, made me do the things I needed to do to be better, and that's what I loved about USGA events. If you couldn't handle it, then you got beat, and that's OK.

A perfectly straight shot with a big club is a fluke.

You don't think anything about age when you're playing [golf]. I mean, why would you ever think about that.

Why are we building golf courses? Because we enjoy being outside, bringing man and nature together.

I've been fortunate over my career to make a little history on the 16th hole at Augusta National.

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.

Grand Haven will challenge the skilled player yet, because of some width to the holes, it also will be a fun course that the average player can enjoy.

Pete Egoscue has totally changed my life. Never have I experienced such complete pain relief as I have by following the Egoscue Method.

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

I couldn't control Arnold Palmer, Gary Player, Tom Watson or Lee Trevino. The only person I could control was me. The only person I could prepare for events was me. And if I didn't play well, I didn't play well, and I wasn't going to compete.

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.

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

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.
