It’s the Tiger Woods effect. What he was able to accomplish at such a young age – he drew me to the game, and I can only speak for myself, but a lot of the players that are my age saw Tiger in his prime when we were all teenagers.
Tony FinauTony Finau I do my best on the golf course. I am learning about the business side of it. But I have a lot of great partners that help me with all those things.

Tony FinauTony Finau My irons are three-eighths of an inch longer than standard.
Tony FinauTony Finau It will be a great accomplishment if I become the best player in the world. But if my children can grow up with great core values and become great people and do good things and are happy, then, man, that would bring me great joy.
Tony FinauTony Finau Because my lower body is quiet, I need a full shoulder turn to generate power and speed. Keep your tempo smooth, and with the quiet lower body, you don’t have to worry about losing your balance.
Tony FinauTony Finau We are really proud of our culture and, really, just being a minority.
Tony FinauTony Finau I had plenty of power, and I knew how to play the curve, but I was a tour player who was watching his tee shots peel 30, 40 yards to the right.
Tony FinauTony Finau The Ping 51-degree makes for a nice transition from the irons. On my 60, it says 8 degrees of bounce, but I grind it to about 5 or 6 degrees. I tried a head with less bounce, but it just didn’t look right.
Tony FinauTony Finau I definitely take time to smell the flowers because I feel like my upbringing was quite a bit different than most guys on Tour.
Tony FinauTony Finau I think there’s too many rules in golf. And I mean that’s easy to say for a player, but putting together a rule book is a tough thing in this game because there are so many different parts of the game.
Tony FinauTony Finau I know a lot of kids following in my footsteps, not only from my heritage, but there’s younger generations trying to follow in my footsteps.
