#4 - Larry Mize - Masters Winner

#4 - Larry Mize - Masters Winner

Author: Mike Carroll July 25, 2020 Duration: 44:57

In today’s episode I have the honour of speaking with Larry Mize. Larry played in over 600 PGA Tour events, won the 1987 Masters, played in the 1987 Ryder Cup, and now plays on the senior tour. 


In this episode we discuss Larry’s famous Masters win and Ryder Cup experience, but also get into other topics including different instructors he worked with, how he has implemented technology in his practice, how he prepares for events, and the transition from the PGA to senior tour. 

I believe there are takeaways for all levels of golfer, and I could have listened to Larry talking golf all day.
