4 of the Top 5 Finishers at the American Century Championship Practice on a Southwest Greens Putting Green

Every July, the American Century Championship turns Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course into one of the most star-studded leaderboards in golf. NFL legends, NBA champions, Hall of Fame pitchers, and LPGA icons all trade their usual jerseys for golf spikes and compete in front of a national TV audience on NBC Sports.

This year's tournament was won by three-time champion Mardy Fish, who closed strong and held off defending champ Joe Pavelski by six points in the event's modified Stableford scoring format. Steph Curry, Annika Sorenstam, and John Smoltz rounded out the top five.

Here's the detail we can't stop thinking about: four of those top five finishers have a Southwest Greens putting green at home.

Joe Pavelski. Steph Curry. Annika Sorenstam. John Smoltz.

Four athletes from four completely different sports, all sharpening their short game in their own backyard on the same synthetic surface. That's not a coincidence, that's a putting stroke built on repetition, and repetition is exactly what a low-maintenance, championship-caliber green at home makes possible.

You don't need a tour card to putt like these athletes practice. A backyard putting green means no drive to the course, no waiting for tee time, and no worrying about rain washing out your reps. Just step outside and work on your read, your speed, and your feel, on demand, every single day.

If four of the top five finishers at one of golf's most competitive celebrity events trust their home green to Southwest Greens, it might be time to ask what a Southwest Greens installation could do for your own game.
