You might rush to the tee chomping on a bagel with three minutes to spare and without any time to hit range balls. As for pros, not so much. Here’s how Justin Thomas spent his warm-up during a tournament round in February. Take notes, as there’s plenty we can learn from how pros practice.

11 a.m. JT arrives on the putting green. Applies sunscreen. Rolls six-footers on a putting mirror, then moves on to a trio of putting-gate drills.
