Send us Fan MailIn this episode of A Touch of Class, Will Griffith sits down with Tyson Marostica - doctor of chiropractic, golf performance specialist, and full‑time physio and trainer on the PGA Champions Tour, working week‑to‑week with legends like Darren Clarke, Thomas Bjørn, Ernie Els, Bernhard Langer, Alex Cejka and more.Tyson grew up in Central Pennsylvania and played college golf at Utah Valley University and BYU Hawaii before turning professional and teaching at Raven's Claw Golf Club outside Philadelphia. Married young and already starting a family, he realised the road to full‑time professional golf was hard and chose instead to follow the passion that had carried him through seven reconstructive knee surgeries: biomechanics, rehab, and helping golfers move better. That led him to chiropractic school and eventually to building the Arizona Sports Clinic in Phoenix, where he combined treatment, performance, and an indoor hitting bay to bring his vision of golf‑specific therapy to life.Everything changed when Steve Alker spotted Tyson's work during the Outlaw Tour - the only professional tour running during Covid. Their partnership sparked one of the most remarkable late‑career resurgences in modern golf. Since then Tyson has travelled full‑time on the PGA Champions Tour, working with Clarke, Bjørn, Cejka, Els, Langer, Rod Pampling, Zach Johnson and many more. From piecing Alex Cejka together to win the Senior British Open when he could barely walk, to swapping Darren Clarke's headcovers by accident, to road trips with Bjørn and Pampling and even a Ja Rule moment - Tyson brings a treasure chest of stories from inside the ropes.Topics Covered:Growing up in Central PennsylvaniaCollege golf at Utah Valley University & BYU HawaiiTurning pro and teaching at Raven's ClawSeven knee surgeries and discovering biomechanicsBuilding the Arizona Sports ClinicHow Steve Alker found him and their journey togetherWorking with Clarke, Bjørn, Cejka, Els, Langer, Pampling and moreCejka's Senior British Open win while barely able to walkHeadcover switches, Road trip stories and Ja RuleMental game, training philosophy, and life on the Champions TourIf you enjoy stories from inside the ropes and the people who keep the legends moving, this episode is one you'll savour.Follow us on Instagram @atocpod and follow our YouTube channel @PARfectlyclassy
