PGA Tour rookie Raul Pereda joins Andrew to discuss his journey from the Latin America tour to getting one of the five coveted PGA Tour cards at Qualifying School last fall. Raul shares his experience navigating the stages of Q School and the critical shots in the final round that helped him secure his PGA Tour card for 2024. Raul talks about adapting to life and the competition of the PGA tour, from equipment changes to rounding out his skillset to compete against the best players in the world.
