What separates winners on Sunday isn’t perfection—it’s resilience, disciplined routines, and the will to find a way.

In this conversation, CBS analyst, coach, and author Mark Immelman shares what he’s learned from a front-row seat on Tour: why Scottie Scheffler’s process never wavers, how Rory’s Masters breakthrough rewrote a narrative, and why clutch putting—and perspective—decide tournaments.

We also dig into fitness as the gateway to mental toughness, “the chaser’s freedom vs. the leader’s burden,” and how to keep swinging freely when everything tightens up.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

How elite players use routines to stay present under maximum pressure
Why resilience = get up, then don’t panic or overhaul your process
The difference between playing to win vs. playing not to lose
Why clutch putting is the common denominator coming home
How fitness amplifies stamina, confidence, and decision quality
The power of perspective: results don’t define identity
Practical ways to manage expectations and let your putter be the star

Get your pencils ready and start listening.
