The world's top six were among a whole host of players to face the media at Augusta on Tuesday ahead of the opening major of the year. Here's a round-up of the best pre-Masters quotes.
The Australian admits to feeling 'comfortable' as the word's No 1 golfer, but does not accept he is the favourite this week.
"There are so many players that can win around here," Day told reporters. "There's not just one heavy favourite this week, which is fantastic. I think it's good for the game of golf and I think it's good for this tournament, as well."
The defending champion believes his game is in better shape now than it was ahead of his record-breaking victory in last year's Masters.
"We're going to try and just use last year as momentum," Spieth said. "We know we're capable of playing this place, we have proven it to ourselves the last two years.
After finding himself 12 shots off the pace after 36-holes last year, McIlroy feels a positive start will be imperative to his chances of winning a maiden Masters title.
"Jordan had it won after 36 holes last year," McIlroy said. "I think it's imperative to get off to a great start here, a good start. You look at a lot of Masters' champions in the past, they have been right up there from the first day."
The world No 6 says he is happy using a short putter again and goes into this week's Masters full of confidence.
"I would say I'm fully through that transition period," Scott added. "The way I feel is no different than when I was with the longer putter. The routines and the practice and everything, the drills, they are all the same."
Despite not having a worldwide victory since the 2014 DP World Tour Championship, Stenson believes he has the right style of game to win his first major tournament at Augusta.
"I know I've got a game that fits well for major championship golf," Stenson said. "I've just got to keep on putting myself in the final groups or in the last couple of groups. The more times I do that, the better the chances are for the outcome that I want to have."
After a run of near-missed in majors, Johnson has vowed to learn from past experiences as he aims to clinch his first major title.
"I still feel like my time's coming," said Johnson. "I've just got to keep putting myself in position to have a chance to win. One of these days I will get it done.
"Mentally I'm very strong and I'm pretty chirpy on the course, and that's going to be a key part of my week at Augusta," he told SkySports.com.
"Being my first year here, it's so important for me to be positive and stay patient out there. I'm a lot more inexperienced compared to most of the field, so hopefully naivety will be in my favour!"
"Thursday can come around - especially this tournament - and you can be a little bit burnt out. Physically you can get worn out, but mentally, more than anything, this is a really draining golf course."
