I'm a fighter. I'm a survivor, and I'll get through anything people can throw at me.

I try to think of myself as a lion, bringing down the kill, controlling the jungle. A lion controls his jungle.

I've known Donald forever, and I know the bad things they say about Donald Trump is not true because I've known him as a friend for so long. I've seen what he's done for all types of people. I know how many people call him a racist and all this, and it just makes me sick because he's not.

I'm an OCD neat freak. I can't stand messes. I make my bed every morning. Laundry. I do it all.

I learned through the 'Jack Nicklaus Lesson Tee,' the cartoon. Back then, it was 1970 or '69 when it came out. Learned the grip that way and everything in the cartoon... So that's kind of how it all started for me.

Everybody fights demons. Some are worse than others.

The fans have always helped me get through good things and bad things on and off the golf course.

It's amazing what a little money can do when it's spent on the right reason.

I was always the one asking everybody else if they were O.K. I never talked about my problems. I didn't want to admit I had problems. I just let 'em build up. I didn't want anybody to know I was hurtin'.

Florida sends me a handicap sticker when I'm there. It's embarrassing. But I can't walk more than six holes before the whole knee swells up, and then I can't go anymore.

Golf is my passion, and so is great barbecue.

Coming down the 18th, your heart's pounding, and the hair is sticking straight up on your arms - there's no feeling like it.

I guess you can say I always liked to take chances. Sometimes it works out. Sometimes it doesn't.

I wasted a lot of my talent in the '90s because the money was so big, and I was making so much money, I didn't care to practise as much. That is my only regret.

I think people relate to me because of the ups and downs I have had. I mean, I've shared a lot of strong emotions in my life, that I think maybe 'cause they believe I'm not scared to tell everybody I'm a human being.

I've tried to lose weight two or three times, and every time, my golf game was horrible.

I'm the luckiest human being that ever walked.

I never had any alcohol on the golf course that I remember, except for one time, and that was the L.A. Open.

I wanna have more majors than Jack Nicklaus.

I was a basket case, you know? When I got mad, I threw clubs, you know? And if things weren't going well, I would walk off a course. I think I lost a little bit of respect, but hopefully I've gained that back.

Golf is day-to-day. It's shot to shot; it's not four days at a time.

I'm not scared of Tiger. I'm not scared to go head-to-head. I'm not scared to have a long-drive contest with him.

I can sit here and hit all the balls and chip and putt all day long, but if you're not playing competitive golf... there's nothing better than competitive golf.

I'm a guy who's either going to go full bore, or I'm not going to do it at all.

You need 100 percent concentration on golf to succeed.

The thing I love about Donald, it's time this country is run by a businessman and not people with their hands out, and Donald doesn't have his hands out. I not only consider him as a friend, but if people get to know Donald Trump, I think they'll know what I'm talking about. He's one of the greatest human beings I've ever met in my life.

I'm about a 20-handicapper with a guitar. I can only play three songs on my own album. I did the lyrics, not the music.

It's hard for me not to play on the West Coast. I love it out there.

Anybody who knows me... when I'm tired, I sleep with my eyes open.

A lot of people would love my career. I'm not satisfied with it.

I don't like watching golf on TV. I'd rather play.

I know I'm not the only guy that's had problems in life. And it seems to me that a lot of athletes shy away from talking about things that may have happened to them or their families.

I don't mind hitting the ball bad, but when I feel like I've hit the ball pretty good for four days and shoot an 81, it's not golf.

Pretty much my whole career, I have been aggressive. I have always been a guy that goes at pins. That's kind of the way I've been all my career, and I don't know, really, if I can change.

In my life, I've seen everything, and one thing I know for sure is you can't win in the federal court. You're going against the government of the United States. You don't beat a federal court, a federal judge, and the FBI - there's no way.

I feel like I'm the Babe Ruth of golf.

If I go gambling the slots, some of my friends will come with me and play along with me. It's not like I'm starting out with $500 a pull or $1,000 a pull. I go in there and play $25, and if I win, I play $100s.

Kid Rock is a hell of an athlete.

Osteoarthritis is a tough thing, brother. If my knee was broke, I would have had it fixed. But my situation is totally different. It's painful as hell is all I can say.

Watch out for guys like Scott Piercy and Danny Willett. They both play really good on fast, fast greens.

I need to play three or four weeks to get into a rhythm. I'm not like Tiger. I can't play one week and win.

Patrick Reed has become a hell of a player.

You can be addicted to meat, as far as I'm concerned. Why else would I eat six cheeseburgers a day?

My life is to play golf, sit home with the wife and kids, and do things with the family more than I used to.

I like to have this gut to put my elbow on it when I putt because I did it for so long. I just feel healthier this way.

We weren't the kind of family that talked about our problems. We were a close family, in a kind of faraway way. It wasn't a being-with-each-other kind of close. We all went our own ways.

I've had it with the USGA and the way they run their tournaments. The USGA loves to embarrass guys who play in their tournaments.

I've always been a quick putter, so I should never get the yips. But I got 'em. I got 'em bad.

Perception's not reality.

My father gave me some Jack Nicklaus MacGregor clubs when I was six years old. He cut down some of the shafts, but they were men's clubs, so they were heavy.
