Bubba Watson Quotations

My dad's not here, but he's watching in heaven.

If I have got a swing, I have got a shot.

I just wanna be me and play golf. I'm just Bubba.

What I say goes. I'm hitting shots that I want to hit. I'm doing the things that I want to do. I play it my way.

Everybody can see that my swing is homegrown. That means everybody has a chance to do it.

My dad taught me to be a leader or a follower, and he said follower ain't fun. So I want to be the leader of Bubba Watson.

Winning the green jacket is great - I can pay for all the diapers I'm going to have to get.

Why do I want somebody to tell me what to do, tell me what I'm doing wrong? I want to be the boss.

It's an honor to see that green jacket in the bedroom closet, but I'm not going to become somebody else because I won the Masters.

I am uncomfortable with heights, I'm scared of the dark and I am scared of big crowds.

It's a dream come true for Bubba Watson from Bagdad, Florida to have the green jacket on.

My goal at every tournament is to finish top 18. At the end of the year if I could finish every tournament top 18, that would be pretty good.

I have a good team around me. I have people I trust around me. If I go the wrong way, they will yell at me. Just as they have in the past.

I love France. France is a nice place.

People always ask 'Why is Bubba different?' They're just trying to figure it out.

I was shooting in the low 70s and 60s by the time I was 12. That's the great thing about golf. It doesn't matter how old or young you are. If you're 90 and can shoot a good score, people will want to play with you.

Instead of playing with army men or whatever, I played golf, like for hours every day.

I'd love to be part of the process of building cars.

Normally when one reporter talks to you at a tournament it's no big deal.

There is a lot of learning I have to do and a lot of growing up I have to do.

When I got my tour card I cried. When I got my first win - and my first pay check - I cried. All these things make me cry.

People started coining the phrase, 'Bubba Golf,' whatever you want to call it, which I like. 'Bubba Golf' is going to be fun. I mean, why do what everybody else does? That's boring.

Kids below 10 or 12, I think they just need to learn by playing at golf. Later on, in high school, when they develop muscles and everything, that's when they need to see about getting lessons.

With no rough, you could get around here without making too many bogeys. My goal was not to make bogeys and the birdies will happen.

Three weeks ago nobody wanted to talk to me. I walked on at Sony and I got about two or three kids asking for autographs. But then Sunday afternoon I sat there for as long as they'd keep coming.

My goal is to hit it inside the white stakes (out of bounds markers). No matter where it is, fairway, in the trees, as long as I have a swing, I'm happy.

He watched me hit a couple of tee shots and said, 'OK, next week, you can have a pink-shafted driver.

I was thinking about it all day. I got out of trouble really well all week. It's one of those things that was probably lucky. For a long hitter, you don't think that's possible.

It feels real good. Today I knew going into I was going to play good. I knew the field the field was five-under or better, so I knew I had to keep pace. And I somewhat did. I shot seven-under and I hope I can do it again tomorrow.

It'd be nice to go out there and shoot a little 4-under tomorrow. That will give me 70, 69 and 68 in my three rounds over here (on the South). That'd be pretty nice.

Until I win and prove myself, length doesn't get you the record, it doesn't get you in the Hall of Fame, doesn't get you anything.

I've seen it for so many years how the fans and the media are looking for somebody to have fun with. John Daly is right there. He's still a fan favorite because he's different. He's not just a machine.

I've love to play with Tiger just because it's Tiger Woods.

That means you're hitting the ball really well. It gives you confidence when you go to the driver, your irons, just with everything. And now I've gone three rounds without a bogey. That helps too.

That means you're hitting the ball really well.

I'm trying to become one of the best players of all time, and it's fun that people are interested in seeing me and know that I have a little bit of game.

I like to play a little cut with my driver. If it's falling that way, that's perfect. That's all I look at.

I know how to get out of the trees pretty good.

I didn't have toys. It was fun for me. I was making the ball do certain things.

I'd rather shoot in the 60s every day rather than hit it long. I'd take two wins in a heartbeat.

I'm mostly just getting used to the idea that people want to hear what I have to say.

I like bright colors.

Everybody exaggerates a little bit.

I've learned... that sometimes coming public with certain things, it inspires other people. And sometimes I want to keep things private... but then I found out that it helps other families...

My manager always preaches golf comes first.

I’m here to win a championship. I’m not here to goof around

I have to chose my words carefully.

I don't take anything for granted.

I've never had a dream go this far, so I can't really say it's a dream come true,

I was shooting in the low 70s and 60s by the time I was twelve. That's the great thing about golf. It doesn't matter how old or young you are; if you're 90 and can shoot a good score, people will want to play with you.

I want to keep playing good golf.

My favorite thing about being linked to Oakley is getting to hang with the cool people, the cool athletes - like the X-Games guys. Those guys play sports where they can really hurt themselves, and, well, I just play golf. I'm like the wimpy guy over here.

I'm as good as I can be right now, i don't see anything that I need to really change or do differently. I'm on top of my game.

I grew up a diehard Yankees fan.

When a professional baseball team asks you to throw out the first pitch, that's an honor, and you do it.

Who listens to golfers? They're boring. If I want to wear camouflage on the golf course during a tournament, I will. And I have.

I'm a golfer not a history major.

Who doesn't love a statement sock? I mean, we won't go in to details, but your underwear has to be bright, too.

I'm not afraid of anything. My two favorite colors are lime green and hot pink. I mean, I really like pink. And I don't care who knows it. I'm already married, sooo...

I'm a redneck. And we can wear whatever because we just really don't care about those things. And when you're a redneck named Bubba, you really don't care.

I don't play the sport for fame. I don't try to win tournaments for fame. I don't do any of that. It's just me. I'm just Bubba. I goof around. I joke around. I just want to be me and play golf.

It's about hitting the ball in the center of the club face and hitting it hard.

I just want to be me and play golf.

If I've got a swing, I've got a shot.

I keep defying the odds, you know.

If I have a swing, I have a shot.

My dad - who was a tough guy, a Green Beret - always looked nice and wore these bright Sansabelt pants. He always said, "You have two options: You can be a follower or you can be a leader. And you don't ever want to follow anybody." And that's kind of become my philosophy about everything.

All it's going to do is give the same 10 guys a chance to win. Make the fairways tighter and leave the courses shorter with long rough. Make it like the U.S. Open every week. Then everyone has a chance.
