Tony Brooks, AKA The Golf Outlaw, has played to a +2 handicap and is one of fewer than 500 PGA Master Professionals ever recognized by the PGA of America since the program began in 1969. He combines elite playing ability with one of golf's rarest professional teaching credentials.
After decades in golf, Tony believes his purpose now is to call out the BS in golf instruction—the gurus, the miracle fixes, the one-size-fits-all methods, and the nonsense that keeps golfers confused and spending money.
The Golf Outlaw exists to give golfers honest, cause-and-effect instruction and free swing help. No sponsors. No paywalls. No gurus. Just real golf help.
