If I could have shot 69 in the last round every time, I would have won nine U.S. Opens. Nine!

I believe in destiny...what's going to be is going to be. If I'm going to win, I'm going to win...I don't give a damn what the other guy shoots. I'm going to win if it's my turn.

To be consistently effective, you must put a certain distance between yourself and what happens to you on the golf course. This is not indifference, it's detachment.

In golf, as in life, you get out of it what you put into it.

I've said a thousand times, you can't go into a shop and buy a good golf game.

I've been on some fairways that are as good as the greens we putted on back then. We had crab grass. I remember one green where I putted through ants.

You've just one problem. You stand too close to the ball after you've hit it.
