Trevino and I crack jokes and laugh constantly on the golf course. But on rare occasions, we dive into the swing. He is arguably the best ever from tee to green. GP

I absolutely love cricket and it was one of my main sports growing up. What a treat bumping into on the golf course. No doubt one of the greatest batsmen ever and a champion for India. Keep well my friend. GP

Many congratulations to Christo Lamprecht on his historic achievement in capturing the 128th Amateur Championship and back-to-back for South African golf. Remember this feeling and strive to work even harder. I look forward to shaking your hand at Royal Liverpool

No. 36 today and my first with the new ball! Hey - is this the first ever? I started playing golf about 75 years ago so one every other year isn’t too shabby. Gratitude to the wonderful game. GP

The U.S. Open is a grueling test. 1965 at Bellerive was no different. One of the most significant wins in my career against this man, Kel Nagle. I am indebted to golf forever. Remember to pay it forward when you can. GP

Being an attentive student of our game is something I take great pride in and to this day I do my best to learn from the great players before my era. Ben Hogan was the one I wanted knowledge from the most. He knew the swing better than anyone. GP

I have such fond memories of playing in Canada & the fans' passion was the biggest reason. They showed out for their fellow countryman and I am so happy for his victory. Winning your National Open is career-defining. I hope recovers before Thursday. GP

Congratulations to Novak on his 23rd Grand Slam title! No doubt an incredible achievement that puts his name amongst the greats of all time - in any sport - like Nicklaus and Jordan. More to come for Novak and let’s not forget the few he was restricted from playing in. Well done

A reminder that if you are hitting a ball on a downslope, it is important to stay down through impact. GP

Sam Snead’s party trick was kicking the top of a door and was like a rubber band well into his 80’s and it was inspiring to me. Train your body to keep moving - fast. Treat it like a holy temple. It takes practice and persistence as you get older. GP

This sounds like a great first step towards reuniting the game and bringing the best golfers in the world together, which is great for fans and the game of golf.

I probably spent years of my life simply practising shots out of the bunker. The key, I found, is to set your wrists as early as possible. This allows you to “strike a match” by accelerating through the sand at impact. GP

One of the most important tips I give for putting is for players to hear the ball go into the hole. The best way to do this is to keep your head still whilst watching the putter strike a dimple. There is no better sound in golf. GP

When I saw Brooks last month, he told me he finally felt good after recovering from an injury. Certain players, and there are very few, have that "It" factor and rise to the occasion on the biggest stage. He is one of them and proved it once again. Congrats on No. 5. GP

And so begins the 105th edition of the PGA Championship. Hard to believe it has been this long since I bested my friend Bob Goalby by 1 shot at Aronimink. It was a battle that day and no doubt one of the most important victories of my career. GP
