We called [my son] Gary "Little Herschel" when he was in middle school - but then he didn't grow any taller. He ended up playing golf and being a really nice golfer.

I never worried about money, except that I knew that all I had to worry about was golf. As long as I could play, I was going to make money.

They [my sons] all went to different schools and all did different things. They're about as different for five kids as you'll ever see. They don't do anything the same.

I've wanted to design golf courses ever since I was a kid. I suppose it comes from the way I've played the game. To find the proper way to play any hole, I've always begun by asking myself what the architect has tried to do with it.

Confidence is when you stand over a shot and know you're going to make it because you've done it time and time again.

[My son] Michael came along and he played a little bit of everything. He went to Georgia Tech on a golf scholarship.

I don't think about winning the Masters as part of the slam. You want to win the Masters because of what it means to the game.
