Quotes
"I hope it [the recovery journey] stays with me forever. It's a huge part of my life still now," Kirk said after winning the Sentry Tournament of Champions.
"Definitely the best thing that I've ever done in my life is to get sober. I don't feel like it's taking away from anything that I'm accomplishing. It's 100 per cent the reason why I'm able to do what I do.
"I've said that a lot, but there would be - my PGA Tour career would have been over a while ago, had I not gotten sober. So, yeah, I'm fine with that staying with me for until the day I die."
