«You're looking at players right here who have dominated the game for 50 years. These individuals are the kind of players who I have not only tried to pattern my game on the course, but my demeanor on and off the course.»

«It is going to be right down my alley. These guys not only are my heroes, but they are also very, very close friends, and good friends. We will be giving each other the needle quite a bit. It is going to be one of the highlights of my golf career, I can tell you that.»

«You never know what shot will count most in a skins game. We had a hard time getting anything going, but if a couple of shots go in here and there for us, we're right in it.»

«I wanted Jack Lemmon to make that cut at the AT&T as badly as I've ever wanted anything.»

«Loren is no surprise to me. He understands golf, and he knows he's not a power player. His short game is one of the best in all of golf.»

«I am very much looking forward to it. I am very familiar with this type of format from playing in Ryder Cup competition before. I have played this competition with Arnold before when we played in the Shark Shootout. When Greg Norman had his first couple of Franklin Templeton Shark Shootouts we had a straight, pure, alternate-shot format in one of the rounds, so I understand it and there is strategy. But it also offers opportunities for you to be the hero. At any one time, your partner might not hit a great shot or he could hit a great shot ? you can make the hero putt or make the hero recovery.»

«It helps a great deal because I know what he can do and he knows what I can do. We both know that if we both hit a bad shot we are not going to feel like we have left our partner stranded. The tough thing about alternate-shot, whether it is here or in the Ryder Cup, is stranding your partner. It is like you are putting them out on a rubber dinghy with one oar. But you know what, we are all trying. As they say, 'life doesn't require you to be the biggest or the best, all it requires of you is to try.' And all eight of us are going to be trying our hardest.»

«The hip is a little sore and the knee gimpy, but I did just fine. I birdied two of my first three holes, struggled in the middle and then righted the ship. I would say I'm at 80 percent right now.»

«I love doing things like this. I just love it. You know that interacting with sponsors, interacting with media and doing things to promote golf are right up our alley.»

«There are some guys, they're not too happy to see anybody come out here that's new.»
