Stewart Cink joins Cellini & Dimino after a big week that included winning the Senior PGA Championship and being named a Ryder Cup Vice Captain under Jim Furyk, and he breaks down what both moments mean at this stage of his career.
Cink explains the difference between still competing at a high level on the senior circuit versus stepping into leadership for Team USA, and how much he still values winning. He also reflects on how difficult the transition to the Champions Tour really was, including the wake-up call that forced him to adjust his game and mindset after turning 50.
