'[Responding to insinuation he's lost his appetite for the game] What were you doing yesterday from 3:30 to 5:30 when it was pouring?
'Working on an article, maybe? I was working, too. I was on the range hitting balls, soaked. It's not ' no, when I say 'Enough about the golf,' it's more, I mean, let's talk about the things that have really happened that are wonderful and important.
'No, I've worked my tail off. Unfortunately for me I've had multiple nagging little injuries. I've had tendonitis in both shoulders; I've got it in my elbows; I have bone bruises in my knees right now; I have a back problem that's well documented; had tendonitis in my wrist; I've had vertigo. Is that it? You all know, we've talked.
'So, I mean, there's a laundry list of problems. And that stuff, you know what, frankly, it wrecks golf. It wrecks your golf game' The great thing about wonderful athletes, wonderful golfers and football players, whatever it may be, but also the big detriment, is that we're sometimes not smart enough to stop. Our egos think that we can just play and get through it. And I continued to play and work through it, and all it did was get worse and worse and wreck my golf game and wreck my confidence, and there you are'
'In hindsight the big mistake I made in my career was not stopping sometime in early 2002 and probably not playing again until '04. I should have taken at least a year, maybe more off, just made sure everything kind of got healed, protected my confidence, protected my golf game and moved on and just given away that year and a half, not eight years like I did.'
