Mobility is one of the most overlooked parts of golf fitness. Strength matters, but without good mobility – especially in the hips, shoulders, and spine – power, consistency, and longevity all suffer. Mobility helps you swing faster, more consistently, and stay injury-free.

Tiger Woods has long emphasized mobility in his training, using yoga, Pilates, and dynamic stretches to maintain hip and shoulder flexibility. His focus on controlled rotation, core strength, and balance helps him generate power while reducing injury risk.

A proper warm-up doesn’t need to be long – just intentional.

1. Shoulder Flossing (with a Club)

• Wide grip on a club

• Lift overhead, then bring it behind your back

• Inhale up, exhale down

Benefits: Opens shoulders and chest, improves rotation.

2. Club Rotations (Spine & Core)

• Club across shoulders

• Rotate slowly side to side

Benefits: Loosens the spine, activates the core, improves rotation.

3. Hip & Shoulder Mobility

• Focus on deep hip rotation

• Open the shoulder blades (scapula)

• Controlled, full-range movement

Benefits: Better hip depth, cleaner shoulder turn, less lower-back stress.
