THE ORIGIN OF
The Tour Pro Template
Near the end of the 1997 season, I was lost. Missing cuts. No confidence. No consistency. I couldn’t break par.
Then Everything Changed
A last-minute caddie change the day before the tournament would lead to the breakthrough of a lifetime. What happened that week became the foundation of everything we now teach.
THE Breakthrough
Carl Watts has spent decades breaking down the complete Tour Professional performance process and translating it into a format amateur golfers can finally understand and explore.
