In this episode of the Tour Coach Podcast, host Tony Ruggiero sits down with legendary golf instructor Bryan Gathright to discuss the blueprint for building tour-level golfers.

Bryan is the coach behind rising stars like Johnny Keefer and Mac & Mitchell Meisner, and in this deep dive, he shares the training priorities, habits, and cultural standards required to reach the highest levels of the game.

Drawing on his years of experience and the timeless wisdom he gained from working with the legendary Harvey Penick, Bryan explains how to bridge the gap between talented junior golf and professional success.

Whether you are a competitive amateur, a college golfer, or a coach looking to refine your development program, this episode offers a masterclass in long-term growth.
