“[It's part of a charisma that inspired his charges at the 2003 Presidents Cup, and should again in next week's matches.] Gary is a born leader, ... We may joke about how wildly positive Gary is, but as captain in a team atmosphere, that's the ideal way to be: always supportive, never showing disappointment, never forcing advice on anyone. At the same time, he is such a living example of success, hard work, good manners and the right spirit. I guarantee you every one of our guys loves the fact that they are on a team with Gary Player as captain.”
“I can promise you one thing, the Aussies are great competitors, and they'll all come in here with big hearts, ... That's what they will be doing by playing their best golf. I'm sure [Michael Campbell] is the same way.”
