“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
“I played with Tiger and Vijay in the Mercedes. I said to my brother and my wife, 'Tiger's playing unbelievable. Vijay is putting unbelievable.' A betting man would back Tiger, the way he's playing.”
Craig Parry
“[If it comes down to Vijay Singh vs. Tiger Woods on Sunday at Doral, who's the favorite?] I played with Tiger and Vijay in the Mercedes, ... I said to my brother and my wife, 'Tiger's playing unbelievable. Vijay is putting unbelievable.' A betting man would back Tiger, the way he's playing.”
“There's no one better than Ben on the greens here at Augusta, probably him, Tiger (Woods) and Phil (Mickelson). I think Ben still may be even better than Tiger on the greens.”
Ernie Els
“[Knowing one of his most dependable players was hurting, Nicklaus gave Furyk to Woods on Friday. Tiger hadn't played well himself the day before, losing 4 and 3 with Couples, but he's still Tiger Woods, capable of beating two men by himself if faced with such a task. Sixteen holes later, Captain Jack looked like a genius. Again.] He really wanted to be Tiger's partner, and Tiger can't help but get motivated by that, ... Jim won't get caught up in the atmosphere or the pressure that goes with playing with him. You get Tiger a guy who is hitting on all cylinders mentally and won't get intimidated by that atmosphere, and that's a big plus.”
Fred Funk
“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
“Tiger Woods wouldn't say that, Jack Nicklaus wouldn't say that. That probably motivated some guys. I'm sure Freddie was motivated when he heard it.”
