Nick Price Quotes (20 Quotes)


    For the longest time I just felt like I was treading water,

    Greg's two years older than me and I think it's only fair he should do it before I do, ... I'd be a little uncomfortable if they asked me ahead of Greg. He put a lot into the Presidents Cup.

    Overall the fundamentals seem to be there and he's obviously got a very mature head on his shoulders. He's got a kind of presence.

    The past couple of years I've felt like I'm treading water, ... But this is the kind of course I've won on. It's just a matter of getting everything into shape.

    He threw me under the bus in the media, saying, 'I tried to get hold of Nick and he's refused to do it', ... Why would he phone me the night before He had four or five months to ask me. If he'd asked me earlier, I probably would have accepted.


    I'm just really tired of it. I really am. I wish something would happen, but I think the damage has been done and to go backwards from here is almost impossible. I don't want to sound like a crybaby because I have had a great career. But I still think there should be courses that guys with my style of play can still play pretty well. With the longer hitters, now hitting fairways is irrelevant. That was a prerequisite for 100 years -- drive it in the fairway or you are in trouble. That doesn't count anymore. So that's sad.

    He tried to get hold of me the night before he announced the team. That's not the right thing to do,

    It's not particularly long, so if your iron game is in good shape, these greens are really beautiful. I mean, they're rolling so nicely,

    I'm hoping I'm going to find a little inspiration out there. My last year and a half, I haven't had as much fun as I would have liked.

    I don't want to lecture him. He's a grown man he makes his own decisions.

    Vijay's just a difficult person to get close to, ... He's a bit of an introvert, which I think is sometimes mistaken for arrogance. Like a lot of athletes, he's not great with people. He's not a diplomat. But he's a down-to-earth, sincere person. He's a good husband, a good father, and it would be hard to find a better friend.

    The guys who spend a lot of time on the range become his closest friends, ... He has always gravitated toward the guys who work the hardest.

    I would be a little uncomfortable if they asked me ahead of Greg. He put a lot into the Presidents Cup and he's done a lot for international golf.

    He's got to get more focused on those four (majors). He's got Dubai, Qatar, fly eight time zones, play Bay Hill (in Florida). That's not going to work. It might work for him, but I'm surprised he's still doing it. He loves to play overseas. But he's got the fingers in so many pies, you just don't know.

    That doesn't sound like a bad course of action for the Presidents Cup, either. Sooner or later it will have to leave the snug confines of Virginia and be contested on the home ground of one of the International team's players. But that will take time. Tradition is not generated overnight, ... For only the second playing of this event, this was a very big step forward.

    A bad bug. Everybody had it. It was awful. I was supposed to fly out on Tuesday morning but I got sick on Monday and didn't get out of bed until Friday. ... That was as sick as I've been in quite a while.

    He's got everything. He' not a great player yet because he hasn't won any major championships, but it's a matter of time. He's an outstanding talent. I didn't realize how tall he is.

    He's not playing with the fire and zest he had before,

    Putting is probably the most important thing in the game. It's that classic argument you always hear, but it's true. You can hit the ball great, but if you can't make anything, it's so deflating. The psychological aspect is huge. Putting is the source of where you really go in a round.

    The technology backbone is no longer an afterthought.
