I know that when I see Tiger Woods showed up a day early. And Charles Howell, Chris DiMarco and Jay Haas - they all four were here a day before anybody was supposed to be here to play the golf course and get ready for it. |
I know what Augusta is trying to do. |
I know what Augusta is trying to do. Whether they've gone overboard, I'm not sure. But they've eliminated a lot of guys who are able to win. That's the change at Augusta I have a hard time with. |
I know what they're trying to do; they're trying to make it the same golf clubs that players traditionally should play into the greens. Whether they've gone overboard, I don't know. I just know they eliminated a lot of guys who don't have the ability to do that. |
I like trying to win. That's what golf is all about. |
I love Augusta. But when they take the golf tournament and the golf course and limit the number of people who have the ability to win . . . that is the problem. |
I love Augusta. Don't get me wrong. All I want is for Augusta to be Augusta, because it's such a great tournament. But when you take a golf course and limit the number of people that have the ability to win ... Their intention is not to do that. But they're doing that. |
I love going to Ohio State, but I cannot stand when they boo the opposing team when they run onto the field. It drives me insane. To me, not basically appreciating what the other team is doing is not the spirit [International captain] Gary [Player] and I want to see in the matches. I don't think it was terrible today, but I think we could be better. |
I may never captain another team, ... I may not play another round of (competitive) golf. If I end my career like this, it's a pretty good way to end it. |

I missed a short putt at the last hole for a 62. I'm still mad about that. |
I never hit a shot, not even in practice, without having a very sharp, in-focus picture of it in my head. First I see the ball where I want it to finish, nice and white and sitting up high on the bright green grass. Then the scene quickly changes, and I see the ball going there: its path, trajectory, and shape, even its behavior on landing. Then there is a sort of fade-out, and the next scene shows me making the kind of swing that will turn the previous images into reality. |
I picked St. Andrews to end my career because they've taken me as one of theirs, ... In the States, they have a purely sports gallery. There's nothing wrong with that, but over here it's purely a golfing gallery, and it means a lot to me as well as other people. It's an appropriate place to end my career. |
