Tour Winner Unveils Drill for Perfect Weight Shift
In a recent interview, PGA Tour winner William McGirt revealed a simple yet effective drill for improving weight shift, a crucial element in the golf swing. By swinging the club at half-speed, first shifting their weight excessively to the back foot and then to the front foot, golfers can enhance their balance and stability. McGirt emphasizes the importance of feeling the tension in the muscles around the hips, helping to develop a more powerful and accurate swing. “It’s not about the length of the swing,” he says, “but about the controlled weight transfer.” This drill is a valuable addition to the practice routine of any golfer looking to improve their swing.
Dustin Johnson, Phil Mickelson, Bryson DeChambeau, and Brooks Koepka, four struggling LIV stars, are almost certain to avoid relegation from the new golf league despite their poor performances. This is because the LIV Golf format doesn’t include relegation, meaning that all players who earn their place in the series will be able to stay there regardless of their results. This is in contrast to the traditional PGA and DP World Tours, which both have relegation systems that would have seen DJ, Phil, Bryson, and Brooks lose their playing rights in certain circumstances.
ORLANDO, Florida – In a stunning display of skill and determination, Scottie Scheffler capped off his remarkable 2022 season by clinching the Tour Championship on Sunday.
This triumphant victory marked Scheffler’s fifth win of the season, firmly establishing him at the pinnacle of the world golf rankings. He now joins an elite group as the fourth player to ascend to No. 1 this season, alongside notable names like Jon Rahm, Rory McIlroy, and Dustin Johnson.
From start to finish, Scheffler’s dominance was clear as he began the final round with a commanding five-stroke lead. At one point, he stretched that advantage to seven strokes before ultimately securing a three-shot victory over Xander Schauffele.
Not only did Scheffler triumph in the Tour Championship, but he also earned the prestigious title of PGA Tour’s Player of the Year. Remarkably, he is now the first golfer since Tiger Woods in 1999 to achieve both honors in a single season.
