Tournament Quotes - page 4

People look at me weird because I'm a Howard Stern fan, but he's very misunderstood. It's the first thing I do when I get in my car at a tournament - just pray that I get Howard 100 on Sirius or XM. (Keegan Bradley)

You always love playing in finals at any tournament. The grand slams and stuff like that are obviously the priorities but any titles go on your record.

Lleyton Hewitt

Jack Nicklaus was the first to bring in course management. He could go to a course and tell you within one stroke what was going to win. He used to set his sights on that because he could shoot it. He was the only player I know who, if he decided he wanted to win a tournament, could go out and do it. No one will ever be as popular as Arnold Palmer and no one will ever come close to Jack as a player.

Lee Trevino

I give up on spending time on these courts; I give up on practicing before the tournament I hate. I hate this.

Marat Safin

We said we would leave no stone unturned to get to Germany and now we are applying the same philosophy towards our tournament preparations.

John O'Neill

I feel like I have as good a shot as anybody out there and I have gotten close in the past, so why not have the attitude that I can come out and play great tennis and maybe even win this tournament.

Michael Chang

I would say you feel a lot more pressure at a national tournament than a state tournament. This is more of a fun weekend out with the guys. The national tournament is more business.

Mike Peters

You can be six behind on the back nine and still win the tournament.

Mike Weir

Did you know that Christmas Day is absolutely the best day to fly? It is. No crowded airports and crowded planes. I always flew to Australia. That's what Christmas was for me - a plane journey to the next tournament.

Monica Seles

I hate to play a tournament in which I'm not contending. It's just not any fun for me.

Phil Mickelson

I realise that every time my face is on TV or I'm playing in a tournament, that I am a role model for a lot of people and a lot of kids do look up to me. I try to do my best in that regard and put myself across as honestly and as modestly as possible, as well. (Rory McIlroy)

Pretty much whoever wins the tournament at the end of the week is the guy that putted probably the best.

Retief Goosen

Majors are important but so is every other tournament I play.

Retief Goosen

The Masters is a very important tournament. You don't want to jeopardize your chances. The sponsors understand that.

Stuart Appleby

I like the fact that we have all the teams in the tournament. When I first got here as an assistant, not everyone made the tournament and I think as a coach, you look at it from a job security standpoint, I think that hurt when you didn't have everybody in the tournament.

Tim Buckley

We went around and looked and talked to a lot of foundations with those charities and decided upon the Children's Hospital. They had a golf tournament at the time, but it was a small event that didn't raise a significant amount of money.

Tom Kite

I know this golf tournament has my name on it but it's not about me. It's about the Louisiana Tech family. There is nothing greater than being a part of the Bulldog family.

Terry Bradshaw

I want to play for my country, play for everybody, and I want to be there. I just feel like I have so many feelings and I want to play in the Olympics and feel how special if I can win that tournament.

Yani Tseng

It's easy to have a good season but if you want to have a great season you have got to win a major tournament.

Yani Tseng

I've realised over the years I play my best when I have time to prepare for each tournament as best as possible. (Andy Murray)

I've stayed calm when I'm winning and I've stayed calm when I've lost. Tennis is a sport where we have a lot of tournaments every week, so you can't celebrate a lot when you have big victories, and you cannot get too down when you're losing, as in a few days you'll be in the next tournament and you'll have to be ready with that.

Rafael Nadal

I am very lucky because when I come back home, I have a completely normal life. I can relax, playing golf, fishing - doing what I want. I know when I finish a tournament, I am going to relax at home.

Rafael Nadal

Cannavaro is having a fantastic World Cup. He is without question the strongest defender at this tournament and the absolute number one in the world.

Fabio Cannavaro

There's no sense in going to a tournament if you don't believe that you can win it. And that is the belief I have always had. And that is not going to change.

Tiger Woods
