The more I practice the luckier I get.

The first time I ever saw Arnold Palmer, I said, There’s a star. The first time I saw Jack Nicklaus, I said, Superstar. I feel the same way about Tiger Woods.

I’ve traveled more than any human being who’s ever lived.

But golf being an international game and everybody loving the game the way they do, if you want to spread the game of golf, it’s good that you have great competition.

The player who expects a lesson to ‘take’ without subsequent practice just isn’t being honest with himself or fair to his professional.

The ideal build for a golfer would be strong hands, big forearms, thin neck, big thighs and a flat chest. He’d look like Popeye.

You can always speak with great authority on how well you played today, but never on how you’ll play tomorrow.

If there’s a golf course in heaven, I hope it’s like Augusta National. I just don’t want an early tee time.

If you are going to keep company with me, don’t embarrass me.

When you play the game for fun, it’s fun. When you play it for a living, it’s a game of sorrows.
