The Big-Wave Mindset: Bruce Irons on Surfing's Link to the Links

Bruce Irons, 29, grew up on the North Shore of Kauai, so he knows a thing or two about riding the raw energy of the ocean. In a recent Q-and-A, the legendary big-wave surfer draws a surprising line from short putts to massive waves, breaking down his so-called rivalry with fellow golfer and surfer Kelly Slater. It's a conversation that feels right at home here, where the adventure of the surf meets the precision of the links. Irons brings that grounded, adventurous spirit to the course, proving the same mindset that tames a monster wave can also sink a clutch putt.
