Mike Weir Quotations

The Masters is one of golf's greatest traditions and Augusta is one of the best courses in the world. They are synonymous. It's an event that every golfer, and golf fan, looks forward to.

The course is going to make you look silly sometimes. You have to be able to accept that and move on.

If I can raise more money for charities, or get more Canadian kids to play golf, the green jacket will mean even more.

I actually had a Bobby Orr action figure. You could put the pads on him and skates and all that. I was 7, and he was still playing.

As for my country, I don't live there, but obviously I'm very proud to be Canadian.

You just don't have the time to worry about what others are doing. You just want to take care of your own business. You are focused on that tee shot on the 10th tee and making it to the finish line. It's one of the most stressful moments in professional golf, but you have worked so hard to get to that point, that it really is fun.

I have a lot of offers to play for appearance fees. It's nice gravy, but it's not a big motivating factor for me, to go here and there just for money.

Out here, it's just you and the ball.

Playing hockey, there were a lot of guys bigger than me, so I knew I was going to get hit and have to deal with it. Gotta hit back.

If I thought I had hurt my chances of winning another major just because I was chasing money around, I'd wind up kicking myself.
