Warming Up w/ Dylan Dethier

Warming Up with Chris Gotterup

How does Chris Gotterup do it? The pride of New Jersey is one of the hottest players on the PGA Tour. He’s won four times overall and twice in 2026 to charge into the top five in the world. He’s gotten this far by being himself, he says. But he also says he’s gotten some help along the way — a drill, a coach, a mindset, a training aid — to make sure that he’s the best version of himself.
