TPI Assessments
What is TPI?
The Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) is the leading educational organization dedicated to helping golfers of all levels improve their performance by focusing on the connection between their physical body and their golf swing. TPI provides a comprehensive, scientifically backed approach to understanding the biomechanics and fitness requirements essential for optimizing your golf game.
TPI assessments are designed to evaluate a golfer’s physical capabilities — flexibility, strength, balance, and mobility—to identify how physical limitations may negatively impact the golf swing or lead to injury. This relationship is what TPI calls The Body-Swing Connection and is the foundation of all professional Certification courses offered by TPI. Through a personalized 15-point assessment, we can pinpoint specific issues and prescribe targeted exercises and drills to improve movement, prevent injury, and optimize your swing based on your body’s unique capabilities. By understanding the body’s unique characteristics, we can tailor specific exercises and drills to address these issues and enhance your swing, giving you the most efficient swing for your body.
TPI’s mission is simple: to educate golfers and industry professionals on the Body-Swing Connection through its one-of-a-kind Certified educational program.

Maximized Longevity: Whether you're a competitive golfer or someone who enjoys the game recreationally, improving your physical health through TPI can help you play better for longer, minimizing the risk of physical fatigue and discomfort.
Why Get an Evaluation?
Getting a TPI Evaluation not only provides all the benefits listed above—it also gives coaches a clearer understanding of your body, where you can improve physically, on and off the course, and how I can best tailor my coaching to fit your needs.
Anyone can analyze your swing and offer feedback, but if there’s a physical limitation preventing certain movements, the lesson will not be as effective as it could be.
A TPI assessment removes that barrier. It opens the door to a much more personalized and effective coaching experience—and ultimately, faster and more lasting improvement in your game and day to day life.
TPI is highly regarded in the elite-level player community. 18 of the last 20 Major Championships have been won by a player who worked with a TPI certified coach. In addition, 48 of the top 50 Golf Professionals, (rated by Golf Digest), are TPI certified coaches.
