NFL legend Patrick Peterson has the work ethic of an 8-time Pro Bowler. Now he’s getting the coaching to match. PG Elite Performance Coach JT Thomas heads back to Pat’s place to dial in his short game.

First, the full swing. Using the SwingScan feature on the PG1 app, JT identifies Pat’s root flaw: Standing up in the backswing that results in a sway toward the target that costs him lag and causes those pulls. One drill later, Pat is compressing it, starting the ball on line, and stacking shots on the same spot.

Then they head to the green, where Pat’s short game is already sneaky good, and JT explains why: the exact move that hurts him in the full swing is what you WANT in chipping. From there it’s a masterclass in the short game: one technique for every chip, changing height with ball position instead of manipulation, and the “lazy tempo” secret to soft, spinny shots that land like a butterfly.

Pat’s been grinding all spring for the ACC. If he keeps hitting fairways and chipping like this, watch out.
