pga star tries to copy Rory Mroyy’s muscle transformation but it hasn’t worked pga Tour player Wills Allurus set out to follow in Rory Mroyy’s footsteps with a body transformation focused on building muscle and injury prevention but the results have been far from what he hoped in late 2024 Zalator announced that he would scale back tournament appearances to focus on physical development inspired by Mroyy’s wellocumented transformation the 28-year-old American adopted an intense training program that included a strict diet of 4,500 calories and 200 g of protein per day “i haven’t played much but that was on purpose,” Zalator told the DP World Tour in December 2024 “i wanted to be home be able to eat my 4,500 calories a day and 200 gram of protein and train and get better.” Zalatorus who previously finished second in the 2021 Masters 2022 PGA Championship and tied for second at the 2022 US Open hoped his physical gains would elevate his game instead he’s faced setbacks including surgery to address recurring back issues “this spring I started feeling some discomfort and instability in my back that progressively got worse,” Zalatus wrote in a recent statement following the PGA Championship an MRI showed that I had reharnniated two discs the procedure was performed by Dr michael Duffy at the Texas Back Institute and Zalatus is now on the road to recovery though he missed the opportunity to compete at the 2025 US Open and challenge peers like Mroy Scotty Sheffller and Bryson Dashambo salurus has slipped in the world rankings to number 88 and failed to make the cut at both the 2025 Masters in PGA Championship in contrast Rory Mroyy’s transformation has been a pillar of his long-term consistency and performance the four-time major winner and current Mast’s champion made fitness a priority after receiving a stark warning from a doctor early in his career the doctor said to me “Look if you don’t start taking care of yourself or getting stronger you could seriously jeopardize how long your career lasts.” Mroy once shared he took the advice seriously between 2005 and 2010 Mroy dropped his body fat percentage from 24% to 10% and added nearly 20 lbs of muscle in a later interview with Nike he reflected on where he began i couldn’t stand on one leg for more than 10 seconds i couldn’t hold a plank for more than 30 seconds everyone has to start somewhere i started at the very beginning and work my way up that foundation helped Mroy build one of the strongest and most efficient swings in modern golf a key factor in his sustained elite performance as Mroy eyes his first US Open title since 2011 Zalatorus will focus on healing with hopes of returning later in the year and proving that his body first approach can still pay off in the long
