The way I pack is I look at how long I'll be gone and I pack day for day. If I'm going on a three-day fishing trip, I plot each day. I put most of that in a little bag. If I'm going from there to work on golf courses for a few days, I plot that trip.
It's a great sense of accomplishment when you can take something and really think it's really tough, and then all of a sudden you conquer it. That makes you feel pretty good.
There are no maladies in my golf game. My golf game stinks.
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.
I thoroughly enjoy working with kids, whether it's The First Tee or the lesson tee with my grandkids.
We all would like to struggle like Tiger is struggling.
I've said many times before that Pebble Beach is a wonderful thinking-man's golf course. That is why it is such a great U.S. Open venue.
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.
The holes are numbered.
I've been fortunate over my career to make a little history on the 16th hole at Augusta National.
I guess that's why they call it Hell.
I always look to see what Arnold [Palmer] shot; it's a habit. We will always compete against each other.
Well, I think that Augusta is not the same golf course that I grew up on. Bobby Jones' philosophy was giving you space off the tee; if you put it in the right side of the fairway, you ended up getting the right angle to the green.
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.
Arnold's place in history will be as the man who took golf from being a game for the few to a sport for the masses. He was the catalyst who made that happen.
I would never deny that Jack Nicklaus is the greatest player who ever lived.
If somebody says they don't watch the leaderboard, I don't buy that, I'm sorry. Because you've got to know where you are to know how to play.
At a certain point in the [golf] tournament, it becomes a match play event and becomes a match play event against who is on the leaderboard, so you have to know who is there to do what you're going to try to do.
I think in my case winning fans came as a result of winning tournaments. Certainly, I didn't have too many supporters when I came on Tour. I didn't look like an athlete, I was overweight, had a crew cut, baggy clothes and on top of that I didn't smile much. I was very serious about my game, literally and figuratively the heavy.
I might cook occasionally, but I'm not a good cook. That's not my passion.
I'm deadly serious even when I play tennis against my kids. I want to beat their brains out.
I think Tiger Woods is a determined young man who really wants to play.
When I look back on when I grew up, not even football players lifted weights. That was back 50 years ago.
None of the guys did anything. We never did anything. I never really got into the workout room until I was about 40 years old. I was pretty strong and I didn't think I needed that much.
I played in a basketball league until I was 40 years old. I played every Monday night and the guys would say, "You take him out, and you'll see us afterwards."
