Wyatt McGovern
Wyatt Mcgovern is an NCAA Division 1 golfer for Columbia University. He was a Varsity golfer all four years in high school, 2019 San Mateo Daily Journal Boys Golfer of The Year, two-time first-team All Peninsula Athletic League Selection, and a valedictorian in 2021 at Burlingame High School.
Wyatt is an extremely hard-working individual and a great role model for younger athletes and students. I could sit here and list dozens of adjectives that describe his phenomenal character as a man. He is someone I personally have always looked up to on and off the golf course. Wyatt's steely-eyed determination and focus helped earn him a spot to play golf at Columbia University. He excelled his first year there as a freshman and was rewarded with a chance to qualify for the Genesis Invitational in Los Angeles.
In this episode, Wyatt and I dive deep into what it's like to be a student-athlete, the difficulties of trying to be recruited during covid, and also some ways you could improve your golf game.
