“@TigerWoods I see you have a left-handed driver, well played. I hope it’s a Callaway.” – poking fun at the promotional image on the left

“I think the way I believe I’m going to play the next three or four weeks, that’s going to change, so I’d get [that bet] down quick.” – referencing Tiger Woods’ installation as a minus-180 favorite to win their $9 million match later this year

“I am huge proponent of that. Day 1, years before it started, I was hopeful it would only be three, because it’s easy to go one, two, three, play three events. It’s hard to play four. So we are taking five weeks to play four as opposed to just three weeks. I think it’s a great thing.” – on the Tour’s schedule change and condensed postseason slate

“They are nervous. They should be, you know, rightfully so, because in time, I will mess up. I always kind of ride the line somewhere. Sometimes I cross it. Sometimes not.” – on his children’s response to their father’s joining Twitter

“Oh it is.” – responding to a fan’s telling him his Saturday tee shot at the par-3 second “better be better than Tiger’s”

“I drove it like a stallion today. It was awesome.” – after hitting 10 of 14 fairways during a 3-under 68 on Saturday at the Northern Trust

“@tonyfinaugolf Great playing and I’ve enjoyed being with you the last 3 days. Play well tomorrow. Hope we both earn a ticket to Paris.” – tweeting at Tony Finau on Saturday
