Titleist Performance Institute TPI®

TPI is the world’s leading educational organisation dedicated to the study of how the human body functions in relation to the golf swing.

By studying and gathering data on thousands of golfers ranging from the top professional tour players to weekend enthusiasts, TPI has discovered how a properly functioning body allows a player to swing a golf club in the most efficient way possible. Additionally, TPI has analysed how physical limitations can adversely affect the golf swing and potentially lead to injury.

Tiger Woods brought home the new way of looking at how golfers live, train and play by bringing us from the old triangular model to the new constant improving circular model. (Images and info from http://www.mytpi.com)

In the early 1990’s most instructors believed there were three components to address in building the ultimate golfer.

  1. Instruction – Teaching all aspects of the game: short game, basic fundamentals, specialty shots, etc.
  2. Mental – Dealing with how to handle the mental stress placed on great players.
  3. Equipment – Making sure the golfer is fit properly and has the appropriate set make up.

We called this the Triangle of Instruction. Most players built a team around them to help support these three aspects.

Now we can see the changes that have been brought bout by the change in focus:

  1. Basic Instruction: Grip, stance, alignment, swing fundamentals, ball position, etc.
  2. Advanced Instruction / Shot Making Skills: Short game, specialty shots, trajectories, etc.
  3. Course Management: How to play each course, set make ups, game plans, etc.
  4. Mental / Emotional: How to handle the mental stress placed on great players.
  5. Equipment: Making sure the golfer is fit properly and has the appropriate set make up.
  6. Physical Conditioning: This was the biggest addition. Physical Conditioning includes improving aspects of the body that can affect performance
