Jason Day has a great mindset on goals for professional golf

Life as a professional golfer can be very difficult.

When you consider that at any given tournament PGA Tour players are trying to be out over a hundred players, odds of victory are small. There is value in a second-place finish in golf in the way there isn’t in any other sport. Heck, there is value in a top 10 or even top 25 finish. You get the point.

This is a disposition that Major Champion Jason Day laid out well in a recent conversation that I was able to have with him. He noted that obviously you want to win every event that you tee it up in, but that you have to be able to balance reality (so to speak) with all of that in mind.

Day joined me on behalf of TruGreen. We just passed Quitter’s Day, that is what many refer to the second Friday in January as, where a lot of people give up on New Year’s resolutions. It is Jason’s assertion that this is totally fine! He himself is quitting being a DIY lawn guy and is letting the fantastic professionals at TruGreen handle thing for him. We all can be so lucky thanks to TruGreen.

Amid the demands of the new year, Day and TruGreen are encouraging homeowners to give up worrying about their lawn care routines ‘and instead, rely on TruGreen’s decades of localized expertise to keep their lawns looking PGA-worthy, the easy way.

Between Jan. 12 and Jan. 26, fans ready to join Day in calling it quits on lawn care routines that aren’t up to par, can get their first TruGreen service for only $9.95 and let the pros that the pros trust deliver the lush, golf course quality lawn of their dreams.

In talking about goals I brought up to Jason something that Lydia Ko recently said in an appearance on his YouTube Channel. Ko noted that she wanted to win on the LPGA Tour in 2025 and I asked him how unique golf is, that you can have a goal to win a single event given how hard everything is as noted up top.

Jason echoed this sentiment and shared that his personal goal is to return to top 10 status as far as players in the world are concerned.

Let’s go.
