Yana Wilson on Why Her Parents Forced Her to "Play Up" and Lose | Tiger Dads
<p>In this mini episode of Tiger Dads, Yana Wilson discusses the 'Play Up' method that changed how she played golf and what her parents got right that helped her turn pro at 19.Yana Wilson had her LPGA card at 19 — and never played a year of college golf.The Tiger Dads went on location to the Epson Tour Championship at Indian Wells to sit down with Yana Wilson: two-time Augusta National Drive, Chip & Putt champion, 2022 U.S. Girls' Junior champion, and one of the youngest players to lock up LPGA status after her rookie season on the Epson Tour.She breaks down the parenting move that changed her game — playing UP in older age groups and off longer yardages instead of collecting easy wins in her own division — why she got rid of almost all of her junior trophies, and what she'd tell golf parents who can't stop comparing their kid to everyone else's.</p>
