The rough is very, very difficult and the course is long. Very long. It won't be a problem for Tiger, but it will be for a lot of players.

I know it comes with the territory. The only person I'm worried about pleasing is Tiger.

And they gave me two minutes.

I'm not saying I teach Tiger Woods. We're old friends. He respects my views on the game, just as he respects other people's views.

If Tiger Woods calls you up on the phone and asks you to help him, ... you've got to think he thinks you know something.

His attitude to his golf is the same as his attitude to life, ... He wants to be just as good as he is absolutely capable of being.

He's not going to ever be satisfied with getting there. He's not looking for 'getting there.' He's looking for getting better. That's what he looks for every day.

People ask when he's going to get there. They don't understand that there is no 'there.' You keep improving. He thinks that if he doesn't, someone else will improve and catch him.

We changed quite a bit. That doesn't take anything away from Butch Harmon. They did great things. The only person I care about pleasing is Tiger, not the critics.
