ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Patton Kizzire opens up about the six-year gap between PGA Tour wins — what went wrong, what changed, and how discipline and mental preparation brought him back.
This isn’t just tour life. It’s a conversation about doubt, drift, habits, and rebuilding at the highest level of professional golf.
📄 FULL SHOW NOTES
Two-time PGA Tour winner Patton Kizzire joins The Cart Barn for a candid conversation about the six-year stretch between victories — and what it really took to win again.

- What happens mentally during a winless stretch
- Why preparation — not swing changes — became the focus
- The habits he rebuilt to regain control
- What winning in Napa meant after six years
- Life behind the scenes on the PGA Tour
- Competing against Rickie Fowler
