If you have an ego of any sort, this course [Augusta] will take it and shove it down your throat.

Golf will grow so long as it’s fun.

Sometimes you have to lose major championships before you can win them. It's the price you pay for maturing. The more times you can put yourself in pressure situations, the more times you compete, the better off you are.

I'd rather fight 100 structure fires than a wildfire. With a structure fire you know where your flames are, but in the woods it can move anywhere; it can come right up behind you.

My golf swing is a bit like ironing a shirt. You get one side smoothed out, turn it over and there is a big wrinkle on the other side. Then you iron that one out, turn it over and there is yet another wrinkle.

If a course needs to be in great condition to be played effectively, then the design strategy is flawed.

Muirfield without a wind is like a lady undressed. No challenge.
