Will Zalatoris, a well-known name in the world of golf, finished last year's season in Augusta. Although his usual ritual is to lose weight during autumn, this time he decided to change his plans. Namely, the American golfer decided to gain weight, tired of criticism regarding his waistline. Such criticism was useful for the 28-year-old, serving as a motivation to gain weight.

If you look at the weeks that I had throughout the year, my best weeks were always the first of a stretch, and I always loved playing one, two, three weeks and building in a rhythm, he said. And the events that Ive won as a professional, its been in like the third or fourth week. And just, by the third or fourth week I was down a couple miles an hour in swing speed, I didnt really feel very good, I wasnt driving it great, and its just hard to play out here like that. I knew I needed to get stronger. It wasnt so much about the speed;I know that the speed will come. I needed the stability to make sure that I was able to do what Im doing.
