"It takes having your golf peak four different times throughout the year. You have to like all four golf courses. You've got to be the best of that week for the four weeks"
About this Quote
Webb is quietly dismantling the lazy myth of the “hot hand.” In a culture that loves to crown champions off a single highlight reel, she frames dominance as a logistics problem: timing, adaptability, repeatability. The line reads like advice, but it’s really a rebuttal to anyone who thinks a career-defining title is just talent plus momentum.
Her emphasis on peaking “four different times” points straight at the major-championship calendar in pro golf, where the sport’s biggest prizes are scattered across different seasons, climates, and course setups. The subtext: greatness isn’t one apex, it’s four controlled ignitions. That’s harder than raw skill because it demands physical tuning, emotional steadiness, and strategic patience across months of travel, media, and minor slumps that don’t make the broadcast.
The deceptively simple “You have to like all four golf courses” is doing cultural work, too. “Like” isn’t about enjoyment; it’s about compatibility. Some players need a course to flatter their natural game. Webb implies the opposite: the majors don’t care what you prefer. Champions learn to manufacture comfort in hostile designs - different grasses, different wind patterns, different ways of being punished.
Then she lands on the coldest truth in elite sport: “be the best of that week.” Golf’s margins are absurdly thin, and majors turn randomness into narrative. Webb’s intent is pragmatic and bracing: stop romanticizing form, start respecting the grind of being precisely ready when history is actually on the schedule.
