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

I think today's athletes generally are spoiled by what's happened to salaries, but I also think that golfers have maintained the best demeanor of any sport.

We have a great field and I'm very happy about that. It's a tough time of year as it gets closer to the Masters, but I'm appreciative of the players who are here, and I'm expecting a great week.

I think the guys are more conscious of the fact that being in good physical condition under the conditions that they play will make them better players.

I was playing golf in Palm Springs and after a round I asked the waitress in a restaurant to bring me a glass of iced tea and lemonade. A lady sitting nearby heard me and asked the waitress to bring her a "Palmer," too. The name caught on and the beverage quickly spread around the country.
