Relax? How can anybody relax and play golf? You have to grip the club, don't you?

Your name is the most important thing you own. Don't ever do anything to disgrace or cheapen it.

If the Masters offered no money at all, I would be here trying just as hard.

You hear stories about me beating my brains out practicing, but the truth is, I was enjoying myself. I couldn't wait to get up in the morning so I could hit balls. I'd be at the practice tee at the crack of dawn, hit balls for a few hours, then take a break and get right back to it. And I still thoroughly enjoy it. When I'm hitting the ball where I want, hard and crisply - when anyone is - it's a joy that very few people experience.

All other things being equal, greens break to the west.

I have found the game to be, in all factualness, a universal language wherever I traveled at home or abroad.

When I practiced, I practiced to get it right.
