The yips: two words that sound innocuous – even cute – to the average person, but strike fear into the hearts of every golfer.
The yips: two words that strike fear into the hearts of every golfer. For Lucas Glover, it was a terror that tormented him for years. An involuntary muscle tension in the wrist, the yips are not exclusive to golf, but the term – popularized by legendary Scotsman Tommy Armour in the 1920s – has become synonymous with a spasm that can cripple the swing of even the game’s biggest stars.
Having missed the cut at five of his first six PGA Tour events to open the year, Glover has finished inside the top-six on all but one of his last six starts, including back-to-back wins at the Wyndham Championship and FedEx St. Jude Championship. Suddenly, he’s a six-time PGA Tour winner and, at world No. 30, racing towards his career-best position, targeting a remarkable hat-trick at the BMW Championship in Illinois this week. A golfer once scared to putt is now the game’s most in-form player.
