TONY FINAUThere’s a lot of great athletes all over the world, and some of them don’t have the access or opportunity to play the game of golf.
TONY FINAUGolf is an extremely expensive sport, and growing up, I didn’t come from a lot, but my parents sacrificed a lot for me to compete, and my goals were their goals.
TONY FINAUAt the heart of every slice is an open clubface. And it usually goes with a steep swing that cuts across the ball from out to in.
TONY FINAUI used to think I was hitting a draw at times, and the ball was still curving to the right! I still prefer to play a little fade, but I’ve had to recalibrate my visuals.
TONY FINAUI’m always playing on Sunday, and that’s tough because I really never get to take the sacrament – maybe once every three or four months when I’m home and have a week off.
TONY FINAUI always felt I’ve been tough, and that my tolerance for pain is pretty high.
TONY FINAUI never thought in my wildest dreams that I would have turned pro at 17.
TONY FINAUWe all wanted to be like him.
TONY FINAUWhen I got on tour in 2014, I was hitting a slice off the tee. No joke. Yeah.
TONY FINAUI am extremely proud to be Tongan and Samoan, and to be the first on Tour and the first in the Masters is a cool thing.
TONY FINAUI definitely take time to smell the flowers because I feel like my upbringing was quite a bit different than most guys on Tour.

TONY FINAUI’ve taken two weeks off before I’ve played a major, and I’ve played two straight weeks before a major as well.
TONY FINAUI didn’t have really much of a social life in high school, and I’m not really a partyer, so college wasn’t super appealing to me at the time.
TONY FINAUFor so many years, I was watching my tee shots slide hard to the right.
TONY FINAUWe’re going to tournaments, and we’re driving the par-4s. At 10 years old, I was hitting it, like, 240.
