Something I've really enjoyed learning more about is course design. ”

When you get to the tee on a really long par 5, I know what you're feeling. You want to let the shaft out on the driver and try to bomb it down there. I get the same feeling. But a big tee shot is not always the best strategy, especially on a long hole. ”

Contours on the second half of a long putt have more impact on how the ball rolls because it's going slower. Adjust your speed if that last part is playing uphill or downhill. Don't get fooled by an early slope or break. ”

The good kind of spin - backspin - comes from hitting the ball cleanly, then making a divot after impact. ”

When you're hitting a fairway wood, you've got a lot of real estate to cover to get to your target. Your first instinct is probably to give it a little more power because you're worried about coming up short. ”

I plot the par 5s back from the green and make my plan. If I can reach the green in two shots, I'm going to be aggressive off the tee. But if 's a three-shot hole, the goal changes. You want to put yourself in position to hit your favorite shot to the green. ”

I'd like to win the Masters and the PGA and complete the career Grand Slam. ”

Throughout my career, I've been sponsored by several different equipment companies - Lynx, Titleist, Callaway. ”

You should never get set over the ball and then aim your putter face. If you do it in that order, you can easily lose sight of your intended line. Instead, aim the face down your line first, then settle your body into position. ”

When I stay athletic with good posture and get the club away in a good position, I get through it better. ”
