In 2003, Titleist decided to invest heavily in researching how the human body interacts with the golf swing by creating The Titleist Performance Institute (TPI). TPI’s mission is to educate golfers and golf industry professionals on the Body-Swing Connection, or showing how a player’s physical limitations can adversely affect their play or lead to injury.

Essentially, TPI’s purpose is to determine what “golf fitness” is and how it relates to the golf swing. Currently, TPI-certified medical, fitness and golf professionals have supported 19 of the last 20 major tournament winners, 25 of the top 30 players in the world and the winners of 52 of the last 63 PGA tour events. While the PGA tour stats are great, Titleist also wants to help the amateur golfer enjoy the game more and be able to play more golf. 

Almost 70% of golfers report that they play with low back pain. Juniors and ladies are picking up the game less frequently. The number of rounds of golf being played annually in the U.S. has continued to decline and more players have left the game due to injury or frustration. TPI is Titleist’s attempt to fix these problems.

Your physical ability directly affects your ability to swing and hit a golf ball successfully, consistently.

As a TPI-certified physical therapist who is also Fellowship trained and double board certified in sports and orthopedics, my job is to figure out what your body is capable of in performing a golf swing. Using, advanced manual therapy techniques as well as personalized strength and mobility program, we can eliminate pain, improve mobility and SHAVE STROKES off your game.
