Aside from the golf tournament at the Humana Challenge in Partnership with the Clinton Foundation, the focus of the week was really about getting people to start thinking about their own health and well-being by helping them take the steps necessary to get more exercise and enrich their lives. And what a better ambassador for health and fitness in the sport of golf than Gary Player! Mr. Player was one of the first to adapt exercise and weight lifting to his golf game and has kept that lifestyle throughout his entire life thus far. That dedication to fitness had him featured in last year’s ESPN Body Issue magazine and also ranked as one of the Top 10 Fittest Players ever on the PGA Tour.
In the first episode of this brand new segment, Flavor Of The PGA Tour, Amanda Balionis sits down with Mr. Player as he speaks about everything from good eating to showing us how to plank!
Now for the actual golf tournament though – 23 year old Patrick Reed won his second victory in his 46th PGA Tour starts, winning the Wyndham Championship in August and now the Humana Challenge. He did so in style, after setting a 54-hole record by shooting three consecutive rounds of 9-under 63 and opened up a 7-shot lead heading into Sunday and closed out the tournament with a round of 71.
