One of the worst mistakes you can make in golf is trying to force the game.

I always practice as I intend to play.

You get the kids today into the sport, and then they can't get to the "next level." I mean, come on, that's a bunch of junk.

Sometimes, I'm an ogre. I can be short. I'll walk into the office some days and I've gotten up on the wrong side of the bed, and everybody knows it. I'm a perfectionist. I like to be organized, and I like to get everything done today.

I never thought about being No. 1. I just kept trying to be No. 1.

Barbara [my wife] and I said a long time ago that if we were in a position to help somebody, it would be kids. So when we started the Memorial Tournament (in Columbus, OH), Nationwide Children's Hospital, which saved my daughter's life when she was less than a year old, was the beneficiary from day one.

We [with my wife] felt like we had the ability to help people not just on a local basis, but on a national basis.
