I so valued the love the British public showed me that it was respectful to retire in Great Britain.
Once you reach 30, I don't think you can change your basic swing.
Not to get impressed by me doesn't mean they can't win a major because every year there are four majors and someone has to win.
I've always felt solidarity with those people who have to cope with illnesses, including ones that are far worse than mine.
My beginnings as a caddie were not easy and I had the good fortune to be able to rely on a number of people who helped my career take off.
Hitting thoughtless shots is the fastest way to defeat.
Valderrama is the most elitist club in the world, even more elitist than Augusta.
I'd like to thank the media for the respect they have shown me. It's nice to have achieved something by being ill that I never got when I was playing.

When you play Augusta and don't miss one green all day, that means something.

Monte Carlo - it's a nice place, I can tell you.
I play more in England than anywhere else and that is where I practice and the wind is always blowing.
Players should not be concerned too much with the wind. If you think too much about it, you lose your swing.
Everyone makes bogeys at the Masters. What difference does it make when you make them? Just go on to next hole.
My memory is very short.
I really don't remember bad things when I come to the Masters, I only remember the good things.
The best players, the best courses, the best weather is here in the United States. If all those things were in Europe, maybe I stay in Europe. But they are here. So I come here.

Some people have claimed that I opted to play in Europe more than in the United States because I received appearance fees from the European Tour. This is not true. The basic reason was that I felt more at ease in Europe. It is the environment I am familiar with.
