If there is one thing golf demands above all else, it is honesty.

We don't play golf often [with kids] because they don't play that much anymore - because their kids don't play. It's like anything else - fathers these days end up in the parks on the weekends and they have their kids into lacrosse or soccer or whatever it might be.

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.

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.

When the British Open is in Scotland, there's something special about it. And when it's at St. Andrews, it's even greater.

Nobody ever remembers who finished second at anything.

When I fly in a helicopter, I insist there be two sets of controls, one for me in case something happens to the pilot. I'm no expert, but I know enough to at least get the thing on the ground. Nothing scares me like the thought of not being in control.
