We sit down with Carl Pettersson to unpack a self-taught swing, a calm competitive mind, and what truly sustains a long PGA Tour career. From on-course practice to a coming Champions Tour run, he shares clear, practical lessons for players who want to score.

• multi-sport roots leading to golf specialization
• move to the U.S. and growth through junior competition
• self-taught swing built on feel and observation
• confidence as the engine of consistency and scoring
• practicing on the course to master trajectories
• old-school approach versus stats and tech
• driving and ball striking as keys to longevity
• equipment setup for shaft lean and launch needs
• distance debate and tee height perspectives
• injuries, hip surgeries, and loss of form
• plan for Korn Ferry reps before Champions Tour
• family life on the road and PGA Tour childcare
• Tuesday games, camaraderie, and keeping it fun
• blunt advice for aspiring tour players on scoring
