Jason takes us hole-by-hole through life as a PT on the PGA Tour. From Augusta’s Amen Corner to the Olympic Games, he shares the day-to-day demands, the team behind the players, and how data, recovery, and PT have fused into elite golf performance.
Topics Covered:
• How Jason landed his first gig in pro golf
• Managing recovery for 100,000+ swings/year
• What separates a good PT from a tour-level PT
• Balancing ambition with patience in a sports career
• The role of wearable tech (Whoop) and HRV

???? Topic: The Real Reason Recovery Matters More Than Ever on Tour
???? Ideal Soundbite Setup:
“So we started looking at things like HRV… and we realized, maybe it’s not how they train, but how they recover that explains their Sunday score.”
???? Host Prompt:
“Jason, you mentioned you’re tracking HRV and linking that to scoring — can you break down what you’re seeing there and how recovery plays into performance now more than ever?”
Clip this around 23–27 min mark — it's visual, quantifiable, and deeply relevant to both PTs and athletes.
