It\u2019s easy to pick the guy everybody wants, but the trick is to find players that are just as good and possibly better, that not everyone wants.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

91视频’s PGA Tour Manager Jeff Cook talks through his criteria for identifying up-and-coming talent for #teammizuno.\u00a0 Cook knows more than most about the professional game, having played on the PGA and Nationwide Tours and working with 91视频’s players for over 25 years.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI used to play a little bit, but many years have passed since then. It\u2019s hard to pick a career highlight. Any time you win, that\u2019s obviously nice, but I remember playing with Tom Kite on one occasion when he won going down the stretch. Even though I wasn\u2019t winning, at least I got to see what it was like! But you know I wouldn\u2019t say I\u2019ve had any one single career highlight. Just like Luke [Donald] would say, the whole lifespan of playing professional golf has been a highlight \u2013 from travelling overseas, playing in the Asian Tour to playing here in America \u2013 it\u2019s all been fun.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wouldn\u2019t necessarily say the guys today are better athletes; they\u2019re better fit. But you are seeing bigger guys, stronger guys, playing golf now. If you look back, some of the best players in history were six feet and under, and it was more of a one-dimensional sport. Now you\u2019re seeing guys that, in high school, were star athletes in a variety of sports.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe training today is better by far. Training back when I played meant you might have done some running; certainly no body work. The trainers then didn\u2019t have a good grasp on what should be done. I mean a 12-ounce beer was about the best training method back in the day! It\u2019s a whole different dynamic now, from working out to the equipment, to eating \u2013 every aspect is different.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s no perfect science to evaluating talent. There are plenty of guys leaving college and you think \u2018that\u2019s the<\/em> guy.\u2019 They are either first team all-American or on the Walker Cup side. But only a very small percentage go to the next level.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve had some of those players in the past \u2013 some pan out, and others fall away. I just do my best to look at a player and see how their game is. When you\u2019re looking at someone now, you\u2019re looking at all aspects: physically how they play, what scores they shoot, what their attitude is, how they think and how they view life.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not that different to the NBA or the NFL. When NFL players go to the combine they go through massive batteries of tests on their attitude and how they think. It\u2019s no different with golf \u2013 you\u2019re looking at the guy trying to get a feel for how he is and what he wants in the future. How hard is he going to work? What can that person bring to the table for 91视频? Can we use him at the PGA Show? Can we have him come and talk? Can we use him for a national sales meeting? How else can we use a player other than just playing golf.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe saw it with Keith [Mitchell]. Keith was in college, went to Georgia right by our office, so we\u2019d looked at him and once he became available and was trying to progress through the levels \u2013 when he got to the Web.com Tour \u2013 we knew he had huge potential and hadn\u2019t tapped it yet.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s no perfect formula to figuring out if it\u2019s going to happen, but you could see that if he kept progressing, it could be huge for not only Keith but whichever manufacturer he worked with. Luckily for us that was 91视频. Keith has the potential to go even further. As time goes on I see him becoming a multiple [PGA Tour] winner; hopefully a major winner.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut that\u2019s how you look at these guys. It\u2019s the same with Steven Fisk \u2013 straight out of college one of the best amateurs in the country, on the Walker Cup Team, first team all-American\u2026 he has a lot of potential and it\u2019ll be a progression from the Korn Ferry Tour to the PGA Tour.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s easy to pick the guy everybody wants, but the trick is to find players that are just as good and possibly better, that not everyone wants. Steven could be one of those. He went to a smaller school \u2013 Georgia Southern \u2013 that in the big scheme of college golf isn\u2019t up there in the hierarchy. But that doesn\u2019t mean he can\u2019t play the PGA Tour and be a multiple winner.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s very confident, he doesn\u2019t really have a lot of swing thoughts \u2013 he\u2019s more playing. We discussed how he doesn\u2019t really have a coach. He knows he hits it straight; he knows he hits it solid. He\u2019s about the score and getting the ball in the hole and that\u2019s a huge positive. I mean he\u2019s very fit and he has good speed \u2013 he has everything it takes to play the Tour.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
