It is never easy to win but it is a lot easier to win when you play well. The key is winning golf tournaments when you are not playing so well. Managing your game is something that I feel that I am still learning to do.

Rory McIlroy

Before I was going into tournaments and just hoping I would win one match. But now I'll go into tournaments expecting to do well and if I bring my best game I know I can win them and beat all the big players.

Judd Trump

I don't play a lot of tournaments, but if I don't win a tournament in a year, people are like, 'What in the world is going on?' People don't realize how hard it is to win tournaments. You're not going to go out and play 10 tournaments and win one of them. Your odds aren't that good.

Chris Moneymaker

When I started playing well all I wanted to do was win. Which was a problem. When it became clear I wasn't going to win, I would get fed up. I played poorly on a few Sundays, finishing 50th because I wasn't interested in finishing 30th. But I've learned not to do that.

Tommy Fleetwood

When I first came on tour, I was playing for money. Now I'm playing to win golf tournaments and the money is more than I ever dreamed I could make.

Annika Sorenstam

Golf's a funny game. You can be playing poorly and then go and win a tournament.

Karrie Webb

My goal is to be competing to win tournaments that I'm playing instead of just content with making a quarter.

Jack Sock

When you're playing poorly, you start thinking too much. That's when you confuse yourself.

Greg Norman

I remember winning the first time, you know, suddenly everybody expects, well, okay, now he should win every time he tees it up, win six tournaments.

Retief Goosen

Playing only when you have a strong hand, also known as being a slave to the cards, is simply not the way to win tournaments.

Phil Hellmuth

I always wanted to be a professional player, but when I started playing well in Challengers and, for the first time, I did well at ATP tournaments, I saw that these guys are also beatable.

Dominic Thiem

When I started I was pretty well the only Aboriginal player who was playing tournaments.

Evonne Goolagong Cawley

When I start winning big tournaments I don't think I'll just win tournaments, I think I'll blow them away.

Adrian Lewis

I always knew I could win tournaments in the U.K. but there was a question mark over whether I could deal with playing in China.

Neil Robertson

I can't stand things that are poorly made or shoddily conceived. I feel like I'm being insulted when something is poorly designed, poorly made. It's like whoever made that thing didn't respect the rest of us enough to do it well.
