“It’s an honor to be recognized among an outstanding group of fitness professionals who are dedicated to helping golfers be the best they can be,” said Tatum. “The work I do with golfers is about more than improving their physical ability, it’s about igniting their passion for the sport.”
The annual list is compiled by Golf Digest’s expert panel of trainers, chiropractors, physical therapists and doctors who nominate individuals based on their knowledge of the game, exercise physiology and biomechanics, and how they apply both in working with clients.
