What is TPI?

Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) is a global leader in education focused on how the body influences the golf swing. For more than two decades, TPI has built an extensive database of performance data from both tour professionals and amateur golfers, including 3D motion, force, pressure, launch metrics, strength, and movement analysis. This research demonstrates how proper physical function supports an efficient swing, while physical limitations can negatively impact performance and increase injury risk. TPI refers to this relationship as the Body-Swing Connection, which serves as the foundation of its certification programs.

TPI’s Mission

TPI’s mission is to educate golfers and industry professionals on the Body-Swing Connection through its one of a kind TPI Certified educational program.

TPI’s Philosophy

TPI believes that golfers should match their swing style to their movement capabilities. The philosophy is simple:

There are an infinite number of ways to swing a golf club. However, there is one most-efficient way for each player to swing a club and it is based on what they can physically do.

TPI’s Assessment Screen

If you don’t assess, it’s just a guess.

To achieve an efficient swing, a golfer must first be screened. A proper screen involves an assessment of swing mechanics, biomechanics, physical fitness, movement quality, current health, and injury history.

The TPI movement screen is a straightforward assessment designed to evaluate a golfer’s physical abilities. The findings help identify how a player’s body may influence specific aspects of their swing. Based on the results, a customized improvement plan is developed, which may include fitness training, physical therapy, swing and biomechanical coaching, nutrition guidance, mental strategy, or a combination of these approaches.
