Welcome to the big time. Rory McIlroy wins the
tour championship and the Fedex Cup, all the greatest
athletes in sports. They have shown incredible longevity in
their careers and that's something that I'm continuing to try
to do. Roger. Federer. Cristiano Ronaldo Tom
Brady. These guys that are playing into their forties
are close to their 40s, which was unheard of
20 years ago. That's something I'm striving towards.
I was sort of forced into the health and fitness
aspect of golf because I had my fair share of
back issues, especially earlier in my career, and
I was told by a doctor if I didn't address
these issues, that my career could be a lot
shorter than I wanted it to be earlier in my
career, I was too flexible to mobile like sort
of bandy and then that can cause, you know
, inconsistency of movement. So to get a little
stronger to get a little more stable, especially around
my joints. That's just being able to help me
recreate, to see him swing over and over again
consistently. If you can make training difficult, it
means that once you're out there in competition, it
feels like a breeze and you can have fun When
I turned pro at 18 years old, I didn't
have really high expectations, whatever the goal was right
in front of me, that's what I wanted to
achieve. And then once I achieved that, then
I moved on to something else. That's a big
thing. It's to never settle. It's to never
think that this is the final destination. First win
on the P. J. Well, Hollow was
a big one, was a pretty hype moment.
The major wins are huge players in 2019 was a
big one. He pours it in I think Fedex
Cup in 19 as well finish. And then I
think back to the two Canadian opens and I won
on their shoulders across the finish line. Just the
crowds there and the energy, they were pretty cool
too. Not in a million years that I think
that my journey in golf would end up with me
being in this place. You always have these dreams
and aspirations, but then at the same time you
want to be a realist and be like, okay
, well what is actually my potential here and what
can I do? I think back to being 18
years old and going to stage one of qualifying school
on the european tour and then turning pro and being
able to get my card. So to win Fedex
Cups, Rory McIlroy wins a third. Fedex Cup
title. It's exceeded what I thought I could do
in the game
