“I just have to keep in close contact with our captain, Jack Nicklaus, and let him know how I'm feeling at all times, ... I want to be a benefit to the team. I want to go out there and try to help win points. I can only do that if I'm healthy and feeling good. I told them they are going to have to cart me off before I quit. I'll be out there hopefully feeling fine.”
Jim Furyk
“I looked over at Weir and said, 'Can I say something to him?' But that's Jack Nicklaus. I can't needle that guy, ... It got so bad that Tom Watson finally stuck up for me, because he knew I wasn't going to say anything.”
Kenny Perry
“Nobody ever heard Jack Nicklaus say "I don't know" about anything. ”
Johnny Miller
“Jack Nicklaus is playing an entirely different game, and one which I'm not even familiar with.”
Bobby Jones
“Then Lee Trevino and Jack Nicklaus come in. I'll caddie for Jack.”
Chi Chi Rodriguez
“He's an irreplaceable guy. I think of Payne Stewart and there's a guy that's going to be like Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer, a guy you want around all those years.”
Duffy Waldorf
“To win here where Jack Nicklaus has won a couple of times, I touched his plaque there on 18 just to get some good karma, makes it a memorable and very special week for me.”
