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.

An athlete must have a certain cockiness to succeed and win, but an athlete must also care about the game he or she plays.

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 am against making golf courses obsolete, going to the national Open and playing half the holes with a one-iron.

There's no question that the galleries still like to see birdies and eagles. If you take them all away, it takes some of the dramatics, the excitement of a golf tournament and we [people] don't want to do that.

Don't be ashamed to play safe.

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.
