My father started on this golf course at Latrobe when he was sixteen years old. He was digging ditches when they were building the golf course.

I remember what a thrill it was to attend my first Champions Dinner. Just being in the same room with some of the guys I had admired growing up and to be there because I had won The Masters was quite an honor. I still attend the dinner every year and it is one of the highlights of my time at Augusta during Masters week.

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.

The game is so fantastic, and people who get into it love it so much...I'd be pleased with that. There's no game like it.

There's some good news, too, and the good news is that the players [finally] have become more aware of the fact that we [in golf] need sponsors, and we need the good will that is created by the players being, let's say, cooperative with the sponsors - meaning friendly.

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.

Golf never ceases to be a challenge, even when it really is just you and the ball out there and nobody else.
