The tour life is real tough on a marriage. To the young guy who is just getting his PGA Tour card and is in a serious relationship, my advice is to wait three years before getting married.
Stryker was a company that allowed me, when I had my knee replaced and I got the Stryker GetAroundKnee put in, to get my career back and get my life back.
I'm going to be wearing the Stryker hat because I'm a walking testimonial to the fact that you can get your knee replaced and still play at a really high level and get your life back.
I believe in reincarnation. In my last life I was a peasant. Next time around, I'd like to be an eagle. Who hasn't dreamed they could fly? They're a protected species, too.
I had a peace all day. I knew it was a tough golf course. I probably prayed more the last three holes than I ever did in my life.
There are so many lessons in life that can be learned through golf. I am not afraid to say that I am still learning some of them and probably will continue for some time.
I love hitting the ball, controlling the ball. And yeah, even the roar of the crowd. I enjoy the roar of the crowd probably less than some players and more than some. But I'm not out here to be a celebrity.
I'm pretty much a self-taught player. My swing hasn't changed a whole lot, I don't think. But I watch a lot of people.
It's fun when the ball is going in the hole and things are going right, but it's a miserable game when things aren't going well.
The Internet is a game changer. I'm hopeful I can make a contribution by providing a way to learn about the game of golf free of charge.
I have to believe that if I keep doing what I'm doing, the results will reflect that, and I'll give myself plenty more opportunities to win.
I use a 1994 South African 5 rand coin to mark my ball. It reminds me of my '94 U.S. Open win at Oakmont.
Check the card before you play. If you have a couple of long par 3s, put an extra hybrid in your bag. You'll be glad you did.
You probably don't hit as many fairway-bunker shots as you do the greenside ones, and that unfamiliarity might make you a bit nervous.
With shorter clubs, your ball position should be just back of middle, to really promote hitting the ball first on a downward strike.
If we could have just screwed another head on his shoulders, he would have been the greatest golfer who ever lived.
If ever I needed an eight foot putt, and everything I owned depended on it, I would want Arnold Palmer to putt for me.
I hate to repeat lines, to say the same damned thing. I try to rewrite cliches and make what I say sound fresh.
I'm nearsighted in my right eye, have glaucoma in my left, and the nerves in my hands are on Medicare. Basically, I'm on the wrong end of a short sale.
Golf is a puzzle without an answer. I've played the game for 40 years and I still haven't the slightest idea how to play.
Writers have told me more than once that I'm a better interview in defeat than in victory, which is a compliment I am extremely proud of.
