“I have the highest regard for him. I think he’s the smartest president we’ve had since Thomas Jefferson.”

The health and wellness cause at the Humana Challenge:
“Who knows, maybe this could become a tour-wide effort to raise awareness of wellness and tell success stories. It’d be good for the game, and I’ve always felt our athletes would be great role models for that discussion. This is a different direction for us, candidly, but it’s of enormous importance to the country.”
