Check Your Ego, Keep Attacking | Dr. Bob Winters & Mark Calcavecchia

from Next on the Tee: Where Golf Legends Live & Your Game Gets Better · host Chris Mascaro

Golf mental game meets unforgettable PGA Tour stories as 1989 Open Champion Mark Calcavecchia and “The Confidence Doctor” Dr. Bob Winters return to Next on the Tee. Dr. Bob shares a powerful lesson on how ego can hurt your golf game, particularly on the greens. Using stories and wisdom from legends including Arnold Palmer, Bruce Crampton, Doug Sanders, and Jean Van de Velde, he explains how putting your ego aside can lead to better decisions, more confidence, and lower scores. Then Mark Calcavecchia takes us inside some remarkable moments from his PGA Tour career. We revisit his record nine consecutive birdies at the 2009 Canadian Open at Glen Abbey, including the hilarious story of what was happening inside his group as the streak kept growing. Mark also takes us back to his dominant 2001 Phoenix Open victory, when he shot 60 and ultimately won by eight over Rocco Mediate. When did he realize 59 was within reach? And how did he avoid becoming another player who surrendered a huge Sunday lead? Mark explains why, like Arnold Palmer, his philosophy was simple: keep attacking. Plus, Mark shares his thoughts on the proposed PGA Tour changes for 2028, the possibility of promotion and relegation between the Championship and Challenger Series, and whether we'll continue seeing him on PGA Tour Champions in 2027. It's golf psychology, putting confidence, PGA Tour history, legendary stories, and plenty of laughs with two longtime favorites. Next on the Tee — Where Golf Legends Live & Your Game Gets Better.
