“I’ve always been a quick putter, so I should never get the yips. But I got ’em. I got ’em bad.”

The greatest thing for me is when someone comes up and says, ‘My son started playing golf because of you,’ or, ‘I started playing golf because of you,’ and all that.

Golf is day-to-day. It’s shot to shot; it’s not four days at a time.

I think people relate to me because of the ups and downs I have had. I mean, I’ve shared a lot of strong emotions in my life, that I think maybe ’cause they believe I’m not scared to tell everybody I’m a human being.

I’ve been honest with a lot of the problems I’ve had in life. Everybody has problems. They can relate to that.

I learned through the ‘Jack Nicklaus Lesson Tee,’ the cartoon. Back then, it was 1970 or ’69 when it came out. Learned the grip that way and everything in the cartoon… So that’s kind of how it all started for me.

I hate a mess.

I live a boring life, but it’s perfect for me.

I’m not a big gambler anymore. I like to do it. I enjoy it instead of trying to make money off of it, because I realized you can’t make money gambling.

It sucks getting old.

I feel like I’m the Babe Ruth of golf.

There’s nothing better than competitive golf.

I’ve screwed up a lot, but I’ve always admitted it.

I love the European tour. I always have. But my home is the United States. That’s where I would rather play.

I look at the PGA, and it was like winning the lottery.

I’m a guy who’s either going to go full bore, or I’m not going to do it at all.

It wasn’t a being-with-each-other kind of close. We all went our own ways.
