Top 100 PGA Instructor Jon Tattersall Chats BMW PGA Championship, Presidents Cup, Tiger Woods, Scottie Scheffler, Cam Smith, Jordan Spieth, Rory McIlroy, LIV Golf & more
The Birdies & Bourbon team had a blast chatting with PGA Instructor Jon Tattersall about the BMW PGA Championship. We chat through the history of the event, player field and what to expect this week. We also chat through PGA Tour Player of the Year, the FedEx Cup Playoffs and changes to the PGA Tour this coming season. The PGA Tour has made some great changes including money for players missing the cut which will help with travel expenses for up and coming talent on the PGA Tour. Then we get into some golf theory with the state of the game and the swing changes of Rickie Fowler and Jordan Spieth. We discuss Billy Horschel's setup and PGA Tour takes in the recent weeks. Rory McIlroy has become the face of the PGA Tour. Can he keep up his red hot play and continue to be the voice of the players on the tour against LIV Golf? John and Cal discuss Will Zalatoris and what to expect from him given the back injury and several missed events due to the injury. Jon talks the mental game and some training that he incorporates into his teachings. The new offseason will be a good aspect of the tour changes and will allow the players to compete better in the top events. It’s always a fascinating conversation with Jon Tattersall on the state of the game and how he is approaching and updating strategies.
In 1998 Jon moved to Atlanta, GA to open a learning center with GOLF Magazine Top 100 instructor and ABC commentator Gary Smith.
In 2007 Jon co-founded Fusion ATL a sports performance facility designed to capture performance data and develop training protocols for the ardent golfer. In addition, the the certified staff provide services from physical therapy to performance strength training.
With a philosophy that says, "Why guess when you can measure", Jon is an early adopter of technology. He is an expert at using tools such as Trackman and Foresight launch monitors, and 3D from AMM, MAT and K-Vest.
