Podcast appearances and mentions of willy wilcox

Willy Wilcox had the ball-striking to compete on the PGA Tour, but behind every 300-yard drive was a painful secret—a crippling addiction that caused his career and life to spiral. For years, he turned to painkillers while on the course to combat severe performance anxiety, playing tournament rounds under the weight of Percocet and heroin. In a raw conversation with host Tom Coyne, Wilcox opens up about how the highs of cashing checks on Tour were overshadowed by the dark lows that led him to rehab in 2022. Since embarking on that journey to sobriety, Wilcox has found himself back on Tour, not as a player, but as a caddie. For a pro who didn't carry a yardage book in his playing days, it may seem crazy that he's now making a name for himself on Sungjae Im's bag, but for Wilcox, it's his second chance—not just in golf, but in life.The Golfer's Journal and this podcast are made possible by reader support.

BONUS Ep. Kawuki “Roger” Sali : Ugandan Born Golf Enthusiast   Today, I bring you two conversations with two of my favorite individuals, Willy Wilcox and Kawuki “Roger” Sali.

Since our initial conversation, Willy has experienced both highs and lows in his career, and it's truly inspiring to witness where he currently stands.   Next, I had the pleasure of delving into the world of Kawuki “Roger” Sali, a passionate golf enthusiast and coach born in Uganda.

Willy takes us through his battle with addiction while being a member of the PGA Tour. As he fights to stay clean, he shares his story as a message to others who might be struggling.
