In this episode, I’m breaking down what Rory actually said after winning the Masters—and more importantly, what it means for you. Because here’s the truth: what Rory is doing to manage his mind is the exact same work you're learning here on this podcast.
You don’t have to be a tour pro to use these tools. You just need a brain (check), a love for golf (double check), and a willingness to practice (triple check).
This episode is your reminder that:
✅ You’re not behind
✅ You’re not broken
✅ And you are 100% capable of training your brain just like the best in the world
We’ll walk through 6 specific things Rory shared—and how you can use each one in your own game:
- Remind Yourself Who You Are – Confidence starts with identity.
- Have Your Own Back – Trust yourself to handle any situation.
- Use Power Phrases on Purpose – Don’t wing it. Write them down.
- Make Mistakes Neutral – Two double bogeys? No problem.
- Play for a Feeling, Not a Score – Set your emotional goal first.
- Battle Your Brain, Not the Course – Stay in the moment—again and again.
If you play golf with a human brain, this episode is for you.
🎧 Listen in and remind yourself: you’re doing the work, and it’s working.
