I take my physical fitness and well-being very seriously. I believe that being in good physical shape helps me to be a better player. I can drive the ball further, my energy and concentration levels are improved and I feel like I have an extra edge when the pressure is on. A healthy body equals a healthy mind.
I am a sports nut at heart. While golf is my passion, I am a huge fan of all sports - particularly football, rugby, basketball, tennis and boxing. I love the excitement of watching sports on TV and I try to get to as many live sports events as I can when I am on the road. When it comes to sports - I’m the same as any normal fan!
I am very fortunate to be able to play a game that I love for a living. It has given me the opportunity to travel the world, meet some amazing people and do some pretty cool stuff. While some aspects of my world are unusual, the reality is that I am still the same person as I was growing up. No matter what happens in my life, I just want to be me.
