Great champions have an enormous sense of pride. The people who excel are those who are driven to show the world and prove to themselves just how good they are.
A competitor will find a way to win. Competitors take bad breaks and use them to drive themselves just that much harder. Quitters take bad breaks and use them as reasons to give up. It's all a matter of pride.
Do your best, one shot at a time, and then move on.
I never taught my girls to play golf; they all played softball
I love the challenge.
Our players are mad, but it's good mad.
Never practice without a thought in mind.
If you don't like what you see, stop looking.
My swing is no uglier than Arnold Palmer's, and it's the same ugly swing every time.
Doubt yourself and you doubt everything you see. Judge yourself and you see judges everywhere. But if you listen to the sound of your own voice, you can rise above doubt and judgment. And you can see forever.
Successful competitors want to win. Head cases want to win at all costs.
The simpler I keep things, the better I play.
Golf is a difficult game, but it's a little easier if you trust your instincts. It's too hard a game to try to play like someone else.
The pressure makes me more intent about each shot. Pressure on the last few holes makes me play better.
