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.

Phil [Mickelson] has done a great job. He's a great player and he's conducted himself very well through the years. He's been a good ambassador for the game. He hasn't won in a while, but he still has time, and it wouldn't surprise me if he won again.

I played with [Dwight Eisenhower] on the day after I won the Masters at his request. We became everlasting friends. I was with him the day before he died at Walter Reed.

When I was in college, I thought about becoming an attorney. But I wasn't smart enough; I hate being cooped up indoors; and I'm too nice a guy.

When you play by the rules, defy mental demons, overcome every challenge, and enjoy a walk in the country at the same time - that's being alive.

I never met a winner who had a work ethic. Not somebody who says I have so much talent that naturally I won.

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.
