“Not every tournament gets Tiger Woods. Could the field be stronger? Yes. It can always be better. But you would be hard pressed to find any place prettier than Monterey Peninsula by far.”
Mark O'Meara
“Someday I'll tell my grandkids I played in the same tournament as Tiger Woods, ... We are witnessing a phenomenon here that the game may never, ever see again.”
Tom Watson
“I see no reason why Tiger Woods won't become a great player. Man, can he smoke some shots. A little refinement on Tiger's short game and there'll be nothing. He's already pretty darn imposing.”
Corey Pavin
“I played with Tiger [Woods], and I probably felt like you would be out there with me. Tiger is getting it by me about 50 or 60 yards, so it makes you inferior with your ability to hit the ball.”
Greg Norman
“Phil's like Tiger Woods. Everybody gears themselves up for him and wants to beat him,”
Chris DiMarco
“When I was younger, I wanted to pattern my game after Tiger (Woods) and Freddie (Couples), but the more I matured, the more I realized that my game is like those guys (Leonard and Campbell) - straight down the middle, pretty good with the wedges and consistent with the putting,”
Kevin Hall
“Well, if you take the view that Tiger [Woods] is going to win two every year that leaves only two majors for the rest of us.”
Colin Montgomerie
