I think Tiger Woods is a determined young man who really wants to play.

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'm probably the only bottom-heavy golfer in the country.

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.

If a guy is a good athlete, he'll end up being a pretty decent golfer if he just takes it up. But you never master it; even the best players in the world never master the game.

I always look to see what Arnold [Palmer] shot; it's a habit. We will always compete against each other.

Why are we building golf courses? Because we enjoy being outside, bringing man and nature together.
