**Tour Confidential: Brooks Koepka’s Heating Up, Tiger Woods’ U.S. Open Spot, and More**
Brooks Koepka is heating up at the right time. The four-time major champion is coming off back-to-back thirds-place finishes leading into this year’s U.S. Open, one of Koepka’s best major performances in recent years, with finishes of 14th, T-4, T-36, and T-13.
And then there’s Tiger Woods. He says his body is good as he prepares for the U.S. Open. Woods hasn’t played since missing the cut at the PGA Championship last month. Even with the question marks surrounding his health, Woods will still be one to watch come Thursday at Brookline.
Golfers, Start Your Warm-Up with Some Light Stretching
As you gear up for your next round, it’s essential to kick off your warm-up routine the right way. Not only does this help prevent injuries, but it also boosts your chances of playing at your best. A recent study from the Journal of Applied Biomechanics revealed that golfers who engaged in a dynamic warm-up before hitting the course experienced enhanced clubhead speeds and improved ball striking compared to those who skipped this crucial step.
To get started, begin with some light stretching—think arm circles and leg swings—to loosen up those muscles. Follow this with a few minutes of brisk walking or jogging to get your blood pumping. Next, dive into golf-specific exercises like backswings and follow-throughs without actually hitting any balls. Once you’re feeling warmed up, head over to the driving range and start with short irons, gradually progressing to your driver.
By sticking to this warm-up routine, you’ll elevate your body temperature, enhance flexibility and range of motion, and activate all the key muscles you’ll rely on during play. This preparation not only sets you up for success but also helps keep injuries at bay
