Putting is like wisdom - partly a natural gift and partly the accumulation of experience.

I've always been a big thinker that the more international competition that we create through sports the better relationships we'll have with countries.

What other people may find in poetry or art museums, I find in the flight of a good drive.

I never felt I could be a complete professional without having won the British Open. It was something you had to do to complete your career.

I am so pleased with my golf course. I am to say that it's the best I've ever seen it - without equivocation.

I stopped playing in the Masters in 2004, I stopped playing in the Par-3 [Contest], and now it's time to end this part of my Masters career. I would love to go on doing it forever, but I don't have the physical capability to hit the shot the way I would want to hit it. So I'll have to be content to watch.

I'm not much for sitting around and thinking about the past or talking about the past. What does that accomplish?
