I played one of the days with Sam Jackson, George Lopez and Cheech Marin. I had a ball. Sam is over there contemplating the game of golf and what it means, all this other stuff. And Cheech and George are trying to figure out who has had the best one-liner so far. That just cracks me up. |
I spent a lot of time working on my game, adjusting to the new equipment. I found that I got back some excitement that maybe I had been missing the last few years. |
I tend to learn more in failure than I do in success, |
I think in those kind of situations I've really learned not to throw in the towel. All you need is a little daylight. |
I think that being around and meeting a lot of their people at Nike, getting into the new equipment and all those things kind of renewed my energy a little bit. I think that's the reason I got off to such a great start in '05, because I was so excited to play and eager to prove to Nike that they made a good decision. |
I think the tournaments where I feel like I've got a chance are in the desert. The greens on the coast, the soft greens, I don't particularly look forward to playing on. But the courses in the desert, I really feel like I've got a chance to play well on. |
I think there are obviously a few details that need to be worked out. But it sounds like guys are going to have the opportunity after mid-to-late September, if they want to take a big chunk of time off. And I think what that will do is allow guys to have more time off. |
I think with the weather the way it is and as many great players as we have out here, I think a 61 or 62 or 63 is definitely in the realm of possibilities. |
I was able to pick up a second victory midway through the year. I was a little disappointed in my play in the majors. That's something I'd really like to improve upon this year. But being selected for the Presidents Cup team and then enjoying that experience so much and playing well, and our side winning, I think, more than made up for that. |
I'm very motivated to play the Presidents Cup. I think when I look at my schedule and all the tournaments I'm not going to play here in the next couple of months, it sets up pretty well as far as getting ready to play. |
I've actually seen twice during the same round, two different guys hit the ball backwards ... and it didn't hit anything. They topped it so bad that it actually went backwards. |
I've defended well at some tournaments in the past. I'd certainly like to get off to the same start that I did last year in playing well early in the year. |
I've defended well in some tournaments in the past. I won back-to-back Texas Opens a couple years ago. And other times I haven't played so well in my title defenses. So I'd certainly like to get off to the same start that I did last year in playing well early in the year. I can't think of a better place to do that than the Hope. |
I've loosened up on the golf course, and I enjoy playing at the Hope. I've been in the celebrity rotation since I started playing. |
It is long overdue for me to come back here and play. Playing here three or four years ago in an exhibition before the course opened I knew that I liked the course and I've just been meaning to come back. |
