A full life is a gift. A career in golf is a privilege. Having my story told is a humbling honour. My heart is full—full of gratitude for those who brought this documentary to life and full of love for the people who made the journey so extraordinary. You start out just wanting…
Emphasis on initiating the downswing correctly, by rotating your hips, is in my opinion the key ingredient to playing consistent golf. This is because rotation ensures the hands/arms fall into the correct place resulting in you hitting the ball from the inside. GP #PXGTroops
Many congratulations to Scottie Scheffler on another major victory, his first Open Championship win, and getting ever so close to completing the career grand slam. What most people don’t realise, especially with a lead, is how incredibly tough it is to keep your composure.…
Unstoppable, Scottie Scheffler. A landmark 1st @TheOpen victory, claiming a 4th major title. This crown is yours. #RolexFamily #Reachforthecrown
I’m sad not to be on the grounds at The Open this year. Royal Portrush stands, in my view, as the finest course in Ireland, which is no small praise given the extraordinary depth of world-class links found throughout the country. No doubt one of the greatest in the world. I won…
Jack and I were chasing the leaders all week at Carnoustie in 1968. This is one of my favourite memories in competitive golf and no greater joy than competing with the best that ever did and the finest gentleman golf has seen. GP
Masterful, @janniksin. A spectacular 1st @Wimbledon victory, marking a 4th Grand Slam® title. This crown is yours. #RolexFamily #Reachforthecrown
What’s your ideal distance for an approach shot? GP #PXGTroops
Thank you for the kind words @realDonaldTrump @POTUS, I appreciate our friendship. GP
Most people will never get to meet their great grandchildren. How lucky am I? GP
When I was given the opportunity to design the Edinburgh Course at Wentworth, I approached it with great respect for the land, the tradition of the club, and the game itself. I wanted to create a course that rewarded strategy over brute strength, where every hole offered players…
Though I was not born in the USA, I love your country with all my heart. God bless America and Happy 4th of July! GP
Always a pleasure to be back at The Home of Golf #PXGTroops
Eat half of what you do now, exercise double. laugh as much as you can, and have unmeasured love in your heart. GP
Memories are the cushions of life, and reliving these moments with my dear family and friends is incredibly special. A special celebration, coupled with the Gary and Vivienne Player Foundation’s mission to help children in need, is a cause so close to my heart. Thank you for the…
Do you know what they call this shot in South Africa… Talent #PXGTroops
What a thrilling U.S. Open at Oakmont! Many, many congratulations to JJ Spaun on magnificent tournament and no doubt a grind through a tough first nine today, rain delay (perhaps a blessing?), and an absolutely unbelievable putt to finish off the major championship. Perhaps one…
Happy Father’s Day to all who celebrate! My father worked for decades in a goldmine to support our family. After my mother died when I was just a young boy, he took it to another level. I owe so much of my success to him. He loved golf and took out a bank loan to buy me my first…
