From Small-Town Dreams to the World Stage of Golf
An Exclusive Conversation with Golf’s Canadian Star
In this standout episode of Chatter That Matters, host Tony Chapman sits down with PGA Tour winner Corey Conners for an honest and revealing conversation about the path from Listowel, Ontario, to contending on golf’s greatest courses.
Corey opens up about his journey through youth sports, balancing hockey and golf, and the crucial role his local community played in his development. “I was able to fall in love with it organically and, you know, still certainly love it today,” Corey shares, highlighting the importance of letting passion lead the way.
The Power of Mindset and Family Support
Conners discusses how his supportive family framed his outlook on both life and sport. “My parents just wanted me to enjoy what I was doing. They certainly weren't pushing me to get onto the golf course. I was the one asking to go play, practice, and spend all day out there in the summer,” he recalls.
This episode offers a rare look at the mental discipline required for success at the professional level:
“You have to think your way through it and, you know, never get too high or low and never think things are too far off... being able to dive a little deeper in my brain and understand those things, I think, is something that I've been good at and something that's very helpful.” – Corey Conners
Giving Back and Growing the Game
Through the RBC Community Junior Golf initiative, Corey’s story comes full circle. The program, aimed at making golf more diverse and accessible, reflects Conners’ belief in the sport’s transformative power. “There's so many lessons that you can learn, whether it be organization, discipline, work ethic... pillars of lessons that are great for every kid to learn in golf and in life,” he says.
Inside the PGA Tour: Pressure, Camaraderie, and Legacy
Listeners get exclusive insight into life on tour—from surviving Monday qualifiers to the thrill of representing Canada at the Olympics and Presidents Cup. Corey shares the pressure of chasing that first PGA win, the support of his peers, and what it's really like to compete at the highest level.
“For golfers, we're used to losing. We lose more than probably any other athlete because it's very difficult to win. There's always some things I can find that I did well. There's always some things I’d like to do better.” – Corey Conners
