A No, I didn't. And I don't do that. I'll always give a mulligan if a guy hits a terrible shot, even if we're playing a match. But I don't move my ball and I don't like it when people do it. It's not appropriate.
Q Do you give out mulligans throughout a round?
A It depends on whom I'm playing with. If I'm playing with a bad player who's having a really tough time, I'll very nicely say, "Go ahead and hit another one."
Q You criticized Dallas Mavericks' owner Mark Cuban for trying to live vicariously through his players.You're a rich guy making a big splash in golf with a large bankroll. How are you any different from Cuban?
A Because Cuban's a loser. You could give him Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson and Michael Jordan, and he'd still find a way to lose because he's a born loser. Some people just are. I'm just doing what I like. I have major construction projects all over the world; that's my main business. I have fun with golf.
Q How do you end up in so many celebrity feuds?
A When you get to a certain level, you're attacked, and when I'm attacked I fight back. And I don't forget. Cuban attacked me three years ago when he had his show The Benefactor, which was a rip-off of The Apprentice. I attack him every chance I get. It's so easy; just look at him. His team will never win.
Q Doesn't that make you come across as petty and vindictive?
A No, I don't think it does. Some people like it and some people don't. I'm not a turn-the-other-cheek guy. My thing is, if you're attacked, attack them back in spades. I love doing it. It's natural for me to be a combative person. I love having enemies and I love having friends. It's natural to me.
