Paige Spiranac
Paige Spiranac shared her wellness secrets in an interview with Sports Illustrated. In it, she revealed that she practices intuitive eating. “Right now, I feel like I am the healthiest and happiest I’ve ever been, and so for me, it’s intuitive eating and not restricting myself... If I want to have something, I’ll have it. Always in moderation.”
Nelly Korda
Nelly Korda shared her secrets to training in an interview with Golf Monthly. “I would say go to the course with a routine. I feel like people get really messed up with trying a bunch of different things. If you’re consistent and you have a routine and you stick to that every day you play, you won’t get better right away, but eventually over time you’re going to get better. You can’t make changes and expect to see a result right away. It’s all about consistency.”
Lexi Thompson
Lexi Thompson trains hard to stay in shape. She shared her routine in this Instagram post. Thompson captioned the post, “Day in the life when in season training 💪🏼 . 6am wake up call, strength training workout, straight to practice for 4-5 hours, then spin sesh after 🚲 now time to relax 😂”
Michelle Wie West
Michelle Wie West makes sure to eat a healthy diet. One way she does so is by growing her own vegetables. West shared her favorite veggies with The Beet. “I love my garden. It's something I always wanted to do before I stopped playing. I have so much kale that I make a ton of green juice and green smoothies. I make a lot of salads and pickled stuff with cucumbers and jalapenos and keep them in my fridge."
Jessica Korda
Jessica Korda shared her training routine in an interview with RSNG. “I will do strength work with my trainer five to six times a week in the gym, and I will add cardio into that. That sounds a lot but when I don't do that I feel my body falls apart. Mostly that’s a physical thing, in terms of not being as primed as I feel I want to be all the time; and, I’m sure, something of a mental thing as well. When you feel on top of your game, mentally, it really makes a difference to know you have put in all the physical preparation along the way too.”
Blair O’Neal
Blair O’Neal shared some of her favorite workouts in an interview with Women Fitness. “I am a big advocate of variety,” she says. “I believe doing the same routines or the same exercises delays progress. I switch things up from yoga to cardio, to weight training to pilates. It also helps me to stay interested in the gym.”
Cheyenne Woods Hicks
Golf runs in Cheyenne Woods Hicks’ family. She’s related to Tiger Woods. Hicks also likes to go for hikes to keep herself in shape. She shared this photo on Instagram of herself hiking in the mountains in Piestewa Peak, Arizona. Hicks captioned the post, “AZ in December >>>” Piedmont states that hiking has a lot of benefits. “Hiking is a weight-bearing exercise that builds muscle mass and helps prevent osteoporosis. Hiking can help you manage your weight.”
Natalie Gulbis

Natalie Gulbis shares a lot of her wellness secrets on a WordPress blog. In this post, she revealed that she tracks her food. “Keep a food journal. It’s simple, tedious, and effective. Whether you grabbed a handful of M&M’s or took a few french fries off of a friend’s plate a dinner like I do, data and accountability always work. I track sleep, what I ate and when I ate (so many times I overindulged when I waited too long in between meals).”
Anna Rawson
Anna Rawson shared how she takes care of her body in an interview with Women Fitness. “Foam rolling or any type of massage really helps! I am also a huge fan of pilates and yoga. I take private pilates classes with Kourtney McCollugh and she has totally transformed my body. Pilates lengthens and strengthens all the little muscles in my body which has totally helped my golf swing. I do yoga to stay flexible!!”
Lucy Robson

In addition to her success on the golf course, Lucy Robson has a large following on Instagram. She also shares videos on YouTube. Robson shared this video on her channel of herself doing a yoga workout. The Mayo Clinic states that yoga has a lot of benefits. “Yoga incorporates all four motions of the spine: flexion, extension, rotation and side-bending. Therefore, yoga can prevent stiffness and disuse that also can occur with age. Being able to control the available range of motion in joints is crucial to good posture and decreasing the risk of injury.”
Maria Fassi
Maria Fassi shared some of her workout secrets in an interview with PGA. “One day of the week, I do moderate to heavy lower body workouts in the gym,” says Fassi. “The key is to do a lot of reps with not a lot of weight. The goal is to be explosive — to be fast. It is good to train my body to move fast and explosively because those are the exercises that get me more distance, and who doesn’t want more distance? Another day is all about the upper body. This is where I do any sort of workout that trains for fast twitches of the arm and shoulder muscles.”
