There has been a huge shift in golfers over the last 10 to 15 years with many more golfers at the top of the game such as Tiger Woods, Rory Mcllroy and Brooks Koepka focusing on Strength and Conditioning (S&C) to improve performance.
COVID-19 has stopped many sporting events and has provided some a unique opportunity to focus on S&C. Bryson DeChambeau took full advantage of this putting on large amounts of muscle and is the latest golfer to demonstrate the benefits of S&C in golf performance. In this podcast Dan Coughlan explains to Will Wynter Bee the shift in S&C in golf and how the different S&C programmes used by tour players can improve performance while minimising injury risk. He also discusses the S&C set up on the European tour.
