When things are going well for PGA Tour golfers, everything fits into the schedule. It’s still hours of practice every day, but as long as it’s mainly keeping things sharp and finely tuned, life is good. It’s when you’ve made the decision to change something in your game that it becomes a risk-reward scenario. Turns out, even when your job is golf, it can be hard to fit it all into a day.

“It just depends on how much time you want to put in,” said Adam Hadwin. “If one part of the game is lacking, you need to spend time on that, but if you take time away something else will suffer.

It’s a difficult balancing act but that’s why we’re out here, we want to play with the best in world.”
