The pro golfer took a break from golf for a while because of the burnout he was facing as a result. His trainer, Randy Myers, also talked about how he lost touch with himself and was acting differently during those days.

He said, “I was so burnt out at golf. I didn’t have a love for the game.”

Ben’s comeback was not foreseen. It surprised people around him. He also talked about when a player should decide to make a comeback.

He said, “If you’re going to get away from it, get away from it. That’s the only thing as a player that’s going to drive you back, and if you don’t have the motivation to come back, you shouldn’t do it… he just needed to really get away from it to … want to come back.”

Griffin was not far behind in acknowledging the existence of a holistic atmosphere in helping a player achieve his full potential. In his way of explaining the same, he gave some valuable tips to golfers all around.

He said, “Everything helps together. Having a team supporting me has given me a clear mind. Eating healthy is going to make me feel better when I’m out there. Not drinking alcohol is going to keep my mind clear and not foggy. There are so many things off the golf course that affect your golf game more than you even think.”

The Tour made a blunder on the final day at the CJ Cup

The PGA Tour made a blunder. It was widely criticized by fans online, and rightly so. What actually happened was that the Tour broadcasters did not cover the first two hours of the final group on the final day at the CJ Cup.

This group included some of golf’s famous names like

Rory McIlroy, Kurt Kitayama, and K.H. Lee.

Fans termed this unfortunate happening as embarrassing. Their long line waiting did not give them the insights they wanted from their favorite player’s performance.

However, this was not the 

first time fans were caught in a fury because of missing a major chunk of coverage in one of the Tour’s events. The same failure occurred in one of the recent PGA Tour events, the Genesis Invitational at Riviera Country Club Golf in America. Fans were furious with CBS, following the missed coverage of a major chunk of the event. They called for major improvements. Although, clearly there is still a long way to go.
