A Masters Moment to Remember: The Zalatoris Comeback Tale

Just a year after his surgery, Will Zalatoris stood on the lush greens of Augusta with Golf legend Tiger Woods. This time last year, Zalatoris was grappling with a back so bad, it sent him straight into the OR, but not before his back gave out during the Masters' warm-ups – talk about bad timing! Fast forward to today, and he's swapping recovery stories with Woods and working on his comeback.

Patience and Power: Zalatoris' New Game Strategy

Back in the game, Zalatoris credits Woods for guiding him through the frustration and impatience of healing. Imagine getting back-straightening tips from the five-time Masters champ! It’s not all jaw sessions, though. Woods' advice hit the mark, and Zalatoris is feeling stronger, faster, and ready to swing again. He's been finetuning his game, and with a couple of top-6 finishes under his belt, including a runner-up spot in 2021, he's got his eye on the prize. Zalatoris may be keeping those new Woods-inspired tips and tricks under wraps, but he’s full steam ahead for the future.

Gratitude on the Greens: After all is said and done, Zalatoris has a fresh sense of appreciation, feeling tip-top and ready to conquer more than just the back nine – he's taking on his whole career with a patient stride.
