Since membership in Liv Golf, Bubba watson It has rarely been in quarrel. The double sample of masters even found himself in the “Drop area” after last season, but returned to the goats of the verse after stating his “business issue” not to move.
Watson dealt with a knee injury that required surgery in 2022. He made his Liv Golf debut in 2023, but has not appeared to be the great winner of Bubba Watson since his Breakaway League movement. He had only one end of Top-10 in 2023 and zero in 2024.
“In recent years, it has been a war,” Watson said Saturday after the second round of Liv Golf UK. “You were a mental, physically and golf war. You want to play better, or not? I want to have a strong conclusion for the year, and I see I can do it. Now, do I do it is the question. But I would like to end in the first 20 places if not better.”
Watson’s game has scored this season. He completed T4 at Liv Virginia and T7 at Liv Mexico City. He is playing good golf once again this week in England at Golf life mb. He sits in second place but is six shots after two bullets Joaquin Niemanngoing to the last day on JCB Golf and Country Club. While Watson’s chances of securing his first Livi’s first victory on Sunday are scarce, the 46-year-old is encouraged by his return form.
“All this is a positive step forward going forward in my career,” Watson said. “Of course the best end I can do, the better it is for me, the better for the team, better for everything. Yes, I will go there and fight. Second place now seems to be a good place to finish, so it will be a battle for second place, if nothing else.”
Watson’s improved game is the product of two changes he has made – a new caddy and a new holder.
“Yes, it’s really good,” Watson told his game in improvement after recent changes. “I’m doing kicks. Of course Caddy change. Listening to it in the greens, working with it in my placement, it was fun. With energy. I feel like a young child here learning the game again.
Watson now has Kyle Peters, who has been tied to Corey Conners in the past, in the bag.
As for the change of putter, Watson has Peter Wihlein to thank for this.
“I talked to Peter Wihlein, who is in my team. He is well known to be a great one. … So I asked what he did, and he told me he works on his blow, works on trying to get the same hit every time. He told me some things to do, a couple of training, some things to use,” said Watson. “Then I went back to the ping engineers and asked them what kind of putter I need. I need something that can hit the most, but also keep the ball in the line if you hit it badly. So we went to a commodity. I got a commodity, a putter, and is running so far. I am getting them in the hole.
“In my career, I usually leave them a little short, so they usually just miss you because I like to die, and now it’s getting a little harder. Without changing my blow, it’s getting a little harder, so they’re getting in. It is just exciting, and I’ve been quiet, working on his mental side, and I was quiet there in the course.”
Kadiu change and new putter have Watson energy and playing good golf. But he has also been removed for a few years since the knee meniscus surgery, and is finally realizing how his body has to play Golf after surgery.
As it turns out, time can be the biggest key to everyone for Watson’s visible resurrection.
“You don’t think about it until it happens, where my knee, my knee ahead is where I like to put all my weight on the pieces and put it, and then when you go through surgery and go through muscle changes, you create bad habits,” Watson said. “So my bad habits, returning to my heels, maybe on my other side, so I’m not the same technique I have always used, if it makes sense. So in all my years of practice and play, my technique has now changed over the past few years, so we have really dug inside and tried to understand it.
