Quotes of the Week: November 2, 2014

“I would love to sit down with him for one hour and give him a piece of my knowledge... Then I think he could win majors. I would talk to him quite a bit about the swing, because he’s got flaws. There’s a reason why he’s not the same Tiger Woods anymore, and I reckon I could get those things across to him that would make a massive change because I’ve had so much experience, which would take him at least another 40-50 years to get.”

“Tiger was so good. He was so much better than anybody that plays today... If he never had another lesson (after 2000), just left what he had, he would have won 20, 22, 24 majors.”

“When I joined the team at Callaway 10 years ago, I knew I was making the best decision of my career... And I feel even stronger about the decision today. Backed by innovative technologies, industry-leading products, and the outstanding R&D group that works so closely with me, I honestly believe that these next few years will be the best of my career.” - on signing multi-year extension with Callaway

“I don’t think anyone should panic. I don’t think we need a task force. I don’t think we need the PGA of America straining about this… What I really think they need is to get players that have been on a lot of these teams to get a feel for what kind of captain they need. So I think it’s all - it’s just a little bit much. We need a little more fun and that comes with winning.” – on the Ryder Cup task force

''Disappointed that I didn’t birdie at least the last hole or at least get kind of an opportunity to shoot my age today, but it was a special round. Hit a lot of good shots and didn’t make a lot of long putts. They were all, you know, 15 feet and in probably for birdie. So it was solid golf today. I don’t know what got into me, but it was a lot of fun.’' – on a second-round 62 at the Charles Schawb Cup Championship

“Chuck (Cook) and I talked after I missed out on the Ryder Cup and the Tour Championship and we agreed that if after 13 months the improvements weren’t coming then it was wise to look elsewhere... Chuck and I still have a great relationship, it’s just that physically I couldn’t do some of it.”

“When you get to see it like that from the outside, I was certainly missing it… I wish I could have been playing in it, and it’s almost like you go back the week after and you just keep that intensity that you’ve seen at the Ryder Cup and bring that out in the next tournament. You realize how golf should be played on some of the courses, and not be afraid of taking command.” – on not making the 2014 Ryder Cup
