I don't know why in the world they'd want to care about winning one for an old man, ... They need to win one for themselves. Five years is a pretty good drought for a bunch of pretty darned good players.
More Quotes from Jack Nicklaus:
I always enjoyed La Costa. I had some great times there. It was kind of funny, because La Costa sat right on the heels of the Masters and I'd say to my wife, 'I really don't want to go out and play this week I'm tired.' And Barbara would say, 'You get out of this house and get out there and play.' And she'd kick me out and make me go out there, and rightfully so, because I always had good preparation for the Masters and it carried over many times into the Tournament of Champions.Jack Nicklaus

The design business is a blessing, ... because it has allowed me to stay in a game I love. I'm going to be more selective about the projects I take in the future. I want fewer jobs, but I want to be more involved.

I think possibly the international team looks stronger than the U. S. team, but then I use the argument that we're playing on American soil ... I don't know whether that holds any water.

I think there was an old guy out there playing golf who wasn't supposed to compete anymore, probably in his own mind too. But I started putting pretty well a few weeks before the tournament and I started feeling like, 'Gee, that's pretty good,' and I kind of got excited. I made a lot of putts.
