A question: does anybody know if any of the other top golf players really reads books? And what do they read? I haven't heard of 'The Reckoning' by Grisham until Rory said he's reading it. When I read about its story line, I was stunned: reading this kind of novel before/during The Masters?

NB: Hat tip to 'je ne sais quoi'. You made my day (I'm French)

I'm the wrong guy to ask, but I think I remember Spieth reading a bunch of self help books? Rory as well? I think they're pretty popular out there, I'd bet more people have read Atomic Habits than you might think. Not sure about more general reading though.

I think there's a huge value in fiction, though. After all, confidence comes from the stories we tell about ourselves, and fiction helps build the imagination muscle. Not to mention that I just generally think art is essentially important to the human experience generally. I had a good feeling going in this year — the novel was definitely a contributor!

Literally all the olive oil. Really good. I’ve consumed every piece of video, audio, and text I can get on this win. Can’t get enough.
