Tee It Up Golf Podcast

Q sits down with leading performance psychologist Jonah Oliver to unpack what truly separates good from elite when the pressure is on.

Jonah works with Olympic gold medallists, professional golfers, elite sporting teams and high-performing leaders — helping them build the psychological tools required to thrive under stress, not just survive it.

In this conversation, Q and Jonah dive into:

• What pressure really is — and why most people misunderstand it
• How elite athletes train their mindset, not just their swing
• The difference between confidence and capacity
• Practical tools to perform when it matters most
• How golfers (and everyday competitors) can build resilience

If you’ve ever felt nerves on the first tee, struggled closing out a round, or wondered how tour players handle major moments — this episode will genuinely shift your thinking.

Anthony Kim has done it.

After years away from the top level, AK storms home at LIV Golf Adelaide and puts not just his name — but LIV itself — firmly back front of mind in world golf.

It’s one of the sporting redemption stories of the modern era.

And while Kim grabbed the individual headlines, the Rippers quietly went about their business again — claiming another team win and looking seriously ominous heading deeper into the season. Depth, composure, and clutch moments when it mattered.

On this episode, Ron “Chopper” joins us to break down:

• How Anthony Kim got it done
• What this win means for LIV’s global narrative
• The turning points across the weekend
• Why the Rippers are building something scary
• Who impressed — and who didn’t
• What it all means heading into the next stop

LIV Adelaide once again proved why it’s one of the biggest weeks in golf.
