Golf is 20 percent talent and 80 percent management.

The only thing a golfer needs is more daylight.

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.

Every day you miss playing or practicing is one day longer it takes to be good.

Certainly, if you can't manage your game, you can't play tournament golf. You continually have to ask yourself what club to play, where to aim it, whether to accept a safe par or to try to go for a birdie. You can't play every hole the same way. I never could.

There are no shortcuts in the quest for perfection.

When you see an opportunity, you practice and work, at least from sunup to sundown.
