Most people would say it's the start of golf. When you see the flowers blooming at Augusta National and you hear Jim Nantz come on and start speaking about it, it's that time of year.
I'm not worried about the Masters. I never worry about this tournament or that tournament.
If Jim Nantz is tweeting at me, 'Go back to baseball, you suck at golf,' then I've got problems. If it's somebody else who's just a voice out there, well, that just comes with the job.
The Masters is more like a vast Edwardian garden party than a golf tournament.
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.
I was from North Carolina, so as a youngster all of my mind games about golf were always, If I make this I win The Masters, if I hole this par putt I win The Masters. So it was a great thrill to play there.

There are three types of golf: golf, tournament golf and Major championship golf.
Locker rooms and grill rooms are still the best places to find out things you don't know - at the Masters or any other golf tournament.
I know this golf tournament has my name on it but it's not about me. It's about the Louisiana Tech family. There is nothing greater than being a part of the Bulldog family.
Golf is all about patience - one tournament is four days long, 18 holes a day.
That's what makes the Ryder Cup in golf so much better than the Masters or the U.S. Open. To be a part of something that is not about personal achievement, but about representing everyone and sharing it with the whole country, it's wonderful.
I love Augusta. I get to cover what I consider to be the best golf tournament of the year, and I really would like to think that one day - God willing, CBS willing - I'd be able to say that I worked 50 Masters.
Until Lee Elder, the only blacks at the Masters were caddies or waiters. To ask a black man what he feels about the traditions of the Masters is like asking him how he feels about his forefathers who were slaves.
I love nothing more than being in the last group on Sunday at the Masters. It's the greatest thing in professional golf.
I was trained in storytelling by Jim Shooter, Stan Lee, and Larry Hama. Doesn't make me a genius, and there really isn't anything fancy about the stage direction in my scripts.
