“This is a slam dunk this year. All the stars have lined up. It's an unbelievable venue at Congressional, the date -- the week before the U.S. Open -- for most players it's a really good date. ... There are very few courses we play on the tour that have the aura and history that Congressional brings.”
Fred Funk
“We had an extensive search for a venue that lasted more than a year. After looking at seven venues, we picked Providence. We feel this park will provide the best course for both riders and spectators.”
Tom Stevens
“Every year we've had some guy who could slam it in there, ... We've been lucky.”
Bill Beattie
“We just feel they're here 365 days a year, and they deserve a venue to promote themselves,”
Cindy Thompson
“Nobody has swept the Grand Slam in a single year, but I had a real go at pulling it off. Woods won three majors in 2000. Hogan got three in 1953 and didn't play the PGA. In between winning the Masters and British in '74, I was the 36-hole U.S. Open leader, so the Slam thing almost came within reach.”
Gary Player
“We all want to resolve issues and organize a successful Champions Trophy in India this year, but some venues have contractual obligations.”
Sharad Pawar
“Just being in that venue and being at the Final Four knowing my team could be there the following year, I wanted to be part of that. I knew I had made the right decision even if we hadn't made it to this point. It's all the sweeter that we actually are here.”
