“I definitely feel it’s important, whether I’ve taken time off or played right before, that I take necessary rest time in the weeks before the tournament.”

It’s the Tiger Woods effect. What he was able to accomplish at such a young age – he drew me to the game, and I can only speak for myself, but a lot of the players that are my age saw Tiger in his prime when we were all teenagers.

I do my best on the golf course. I am learning about the business side of it. But I have a lot of great partners that help me with all those things.

Having a family, taking care of your kids and people outside yourself, maybe it’s motivated me more to give that extra something.

The crazy thing is, the last club I ever learned to hit was my driver.

I never thought in my wildest dreams that I would have turned pro at 17.

I knew when I got on tour that if I had the opportunity to give back to my community, which is Rose Park, I would.

I have a bunch from when I played on the Canadian Tour. I’m not superstitious.

My irons are three-eighths of an inch longer than standard.

It will be a great accomplishment if I become the best player in the world. But if my children can grow up with great core values and become great people and do good things and are happy, then, man, that would bring me great joy.

Because my lower body is quiet, I need a full shoulder turn to generate power and speed. Keep your tempo smooth, and with the quiet lower body, you don’t have to worry about losing your balance.

We are really proud of our culture and, really, just being a minority.

I had plenty of power, and I knew how to play the curve, but I was a tour player who was watching his tee shots peel 30, 40 yards to the right.

The Ping 51-degree makes for a nice transition from the irons. On my 60, it says 8 degrees of bounce, but I grind it to about 5 or 6 degrees. I tried a head with less bounce, but it just didn’t look right.

I definitely take time to smell the flowers because I feel like my upbringing was quite a bit different than most guys on Tour.

I think there’s too many rules in golf. And I mean that’s easy to say for a player, but putting together a rule book is a tough thing in this game because there are so many different parts of the game.

I know a lot of kids following in my footsteps, not only from my heritage, but there’s younger generations trying to follow in my footsteps.

To my way of thinking, an actor’s course is set even before he’s out of the cradle.

Lying is before you and the grave is in front of you.

No. One. Comes. Before You.

A lot of people kind of want to wait until you’re off a show before they book you into a movie.

I think that Ruth Bader Ginsburg needs, like, a pump-up. And I think Jock Jams is a classic pump-up. Like before she starts working, she needs that.

Before you begin, sit for a moment and take a couple of deep breaths. You want to be calm and prepared to maintain mental focus

If you look very intensely and slowly things will happen that you never dreamed of before.

As I became George professionally and everyone called me George, Yog became the name that people who knew me from before started to use. It became more valuable to me.
