The one-liners were flying at the Players Championship this past weekend. Sergio Garcia, however, may have won not only the Players, but also the award for the best quote:
“First of all,” Garcia said, “I want to thank Tiger for not being here. That always makes things a little bit easier.”
Runner Up, Paul Goydos:
Q. Two things; one on golf, one on non-golf. Did this all start at the end of 2006? In other words, did your game turn around when you won down in Florida, where all of a sudden you started playing well? And what school did you actually teach at?
PAUL GOYDOS: I think I’m a better player than I’ve ever been. That said, so is everybody else who plays out here (laughter), which is the problem.
I love the GolfBlogger!
According to Hoyle, I’ll bet the actual “Golf One Liner of The Century” will actually be a one liner, rather than your examples. Call me zany, but, you know….
Forensic examination may reveal them to be “two liners”, or even “three liners”. That said, I have no formal qualifications in “one liner” definition. Suffice to say I have my own opinion over at:

That said…. Mr Goydos gave an outstanding few quotes after losing (and thank God he lost – see link above). All genuine, if weird, one liners, delivered one after the other. Brilliant! What a quote machine! What a good guy! What a loser!
“No defense.”
“I couldn’t tackle the little guy.”
“He’s probably not little; that’s probably not a fair thing.”
“He could probably take me pretty easily.”
“But you can’t kneecap him”
Rant on! Google “expectarant” for more mayhem….
