Uncover the incredible, against-all-odds origin story of Tony Finau — a kid from Utah who learned golf by hitting balls into mattresses in his family’s garage.

In this powerful conversation, Tony shares the humble beginnings that shaped his career — growing up in a Polynesian household where golf wasn’t even on the radar. With no country-club access and no formal lessons, his father built a makeshift driving range at home, spray-painted targets on old mattresses, and used Jack Nicklaus’s “Golf My Way” as their only playbook.

Finau opens up about how discipline, faith, and family fueled his unlikely rise from those garage sessions to the PGA Tour — and the life-changing decision at 17 that set everything in motion.

In this episode of Straight Facts, Homie, Trey Wingo sits down with Tony Finau to trace his journey from hitting golf balls into old mattresses to becoming one of the most respected players on the PGA Tour. Tony opens up about:
🏠 Building a homemade driving range in his family’s garage
⛳ How Golf My Way by Jack Nicklaus became his first coach
💪 The discipline that shaped his mindset long before fame or trophies


This isn’t a story about privilege. It’s a story about belief, family, and relentless work ethic.
