Golf benefited from today. Congratulations to the U.S.A. That putt that Chris holed on the last, I really take my hat off to him. They played better.

If it did end up in a tie, it has been phenomenal golf. It could happen. If it did, so be it.
Any time you have two Presidents Cups in a row and you go to the 18th green, I mean, golf is the winner,
Arnold (Palmer) played 50 times. I'd like to play 51 times and then hang it up.
I just hate to see what's happening today with golf clubs that I consider to be illegal, ... I'd stop the grooves being so deep (on the ball), and I'd stop the trampoline effect in the wood.
I'm using exactly the same clubs, other than No. 4. I was brainwashed into believing it would be abnormal with all the changes. But we're hitting the same club Jack Nicklaus did. I remember Jack hitting 5-iron on No. 11. The greens weren't as fast, but the fairways were lousy.
If there's one man in the world who could play two men, it would be Tiger. In my mind, Furyk is going to play.
If there's a golf course in heaven, it's like this. I'm in no hurry to tee off but I hope I'm the head pro some day.
They've got to do it -- there's not even a debate, ... There must be a premium on driving.
If you don't hit it far enough, go pump some iron.
If you can get ahead, it's definitely a psychological advantage.
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.
I try to work with God as a partner.
