This week, I’m joined by former PGA Tour winner Robert Garrigus. Robert shares the journey from community college golf to competing against the best players in the world, proving there is more than one pathway to the PGA Tour.
We discuss how he became one of the longest hitters in professional golf, his breakthrough years between 2010 and 2012, what it's like contending in major championships, and his memorable T3 finish at the 2011 U.S. Open. We also dive into his unique short-putter setup, the realities of life on tour, lessons learned from playoff defeats, and the advice he'd give aspiring young golfers chasing their dreams. Whether you're a junior golfer, parent, coach or simply a fan of the game, this episode is packed with stories and insights from someone who competed at the highest level. In this episode we cover:
