Competitiveness is a personality thing and competitive people don't become pushovers the day they turn fifty.

Let your emotions come out. If your behavior is flat, your game will be flat, too.

I never underestimate my opponent, but I never underestimate my talents.

I just never subscribed to the theory that at age 55, you fall off the face of the earth on the Tour...I always felt that was too young of an age for that.

I can forgive the body breaking down. It's a little tougher to forgive that mental lapse.

The positions I played in football, being a quarterback and a defensive back, you had to kind of have a little independent thinking.

To be successful in anything, a person must always want to be better, not only than your opponent but better than your last performance. Done correctly, being competitive is a wonderful way to always try to be a better person by learning from your mistakes and capitalizing on your successes.
