Ep 160 - Winning Young, Walking Away: The Daniel Popovic Story(2012 Australian PGA Champion)

In this episode of the Your Golf Performance Podcast, Brent sits down with Daniel Popovic — the 2012 Australian PGA Champion whose career took one of the most unique turns in professional golf. After capturing one of Australia’s biggest titles as a young pro, Daniel experienced the highs of elite competition, the challenges of life on tour, and ultimately made the courageous decision to step away from professional golf and build a new career in the corporate world. Daniel shares openly about what it really takes to win at the highest level, the habits and traits he saw in the game’s best players, the loneliness and mental battles of tour life, and the moment he realised it was time to move on. He also breaks down what juniors need to know about chasing the dream, how parents can better support their kids, and the powerful life skills golf taught him that now drive his success off the course. A raw, honest, and inspiring conversation with someone who has truly lived it — from breakthrough victory, to adversity, to redefining success.
