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

There are no shortcuts in the quest for perfection.

The average golfer's problem is not so much the lack of ability as it is lack of knowledge about what he should be doing

Golf is 20 percent talent and 80 percent management.

I don't believe there is anything like a natural golf swing. A golf swing is an unnatural thing, and it has to be developed.

I liked to win, but more than anything, I loved to play the way I wanted to play

I have really enjoyed every minute I have spent in golf- above all, the many wonderful friends I have made. I have loved playing the game and practicing it. Whether my schedule for the following day called for a tournament round or merely a trip to the practice tee, the prospect that there was going to be golf in it made me feel privileged and extremely happy, and I couldn't wait for the sun to come up the next morning so that I could get out on the course again
