The Hawaiin and West Coast swings are in the rearview mirror, and the PGA Tour’s Florida Swing has begun. The game’s best players are getting tuned up for the season’s first major championship, the 2023 Masters.
Like everyone else, the pros are always working to hit the ball farther and improve their driving. That means lots of work in the gym to develop a faster swing, hours on the range under the watchful eye of swing coaches and time spent with equipment technicians to ensure their drivers are perfectly tuned.
