After a decorated career at Auburn, Koivun won the 3M Open in just his third PGA Tour start, holding off world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler for his first professional victory. Then came his Presidents Cup debut, where Koivun became the only player in the 24-man field to go without a loss and delivered a huge Sunday singles win over Si Woo Kim for Team USA.

Now, Koivun joins Trey Wingo to break down the mentality behind his meteoric start and what comes next.

Koivun explains why his now-famous walk off the 18th tee against Si Woo Kim was completely intentional, what went through his mind while holding off Scheffler, and why he believes his brain can be a “superpower” that allows him to compete with the best players in the world.

He also opens up about being “shell shocked” when he got the call to join Team USA, his relationship with Justin Thomas and Russell Henley, adjusting to life on the PGA Tour and his ambitions to compete on golf’s biggest stages.

And with a PGA Tour win and an unbeaten Presidents Cup debut already behind him, Koivun makes it clear he isn’t thinking small about what could come next: “At the end of the day, someone’s gotta win a tournament.”
