Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) is the industry-leading educational organization on golf. Their team of sports scientists, medical professionals, and coaches has studied thousands of golfers since 2003 and amassed an invaluable library of human mechanics data.

Using this research, TPI discovered how a properly functioning body allows a player to swing a golf club in the most efficient way possible. TPI has also analyzed how physical limitations can adversely affect the golf swing and potentially lead to injury.

WHAT A GOLF-SPECIFIC ASSESSMENT LOOKS LIKE

Your assessment begins with a conversation about your goals, your golf history, and any pain or injuries. Next comes a TPI physical screen: a series of movement tests that measure your mobility, stability, balance, and control. We then connect what we find in your body to what's happening in your swing, so you understand which limitations are most likely holding you back. You leave with a clear, prioritized plan built around your game.
