In the text, the author quotes Stewart Cink, who describes the various aspects of intensity and excitement in golf as “juice.

This encompasses all the competitiveness in the locker room, betting during practice rounds, attempting daring shots during crucial moments, and even engaging in friendly banter or “criticizing Tiger’s equipment when he’s on a historic run…it’s also juice.” 

Cink claims that Phil Mickelson is the spirit of “juice” in golf. The golfer said, “Phil loves math and computations, and where that stuff meets juice is Vegas, so of course Phil loves it there… Phil is an all-time juice guy.”
