Thanks a lot Kevin 👍🏻🏌🏻‍♂️

Very informative and well done. I hadn't realized he had the chipping/pitching yips. Tiger Woods was a big admirer of his golf swing and Hunter played quite a bit with Woods. I'd heard that Hunter tried to model his swing off of Woods' swing and it destroyed his game.

Always a pleasure seeing these videos pop up on my home screen. Thanks for continuing to make these!

Great video, keep doing these man! There are fantastic! Hope Hunter is well!

Keep them coming! Know they’re hard work but they come out great every time!

Love all of your videos Mitchell and I sure was wondering what happened to him? So many golfers fall off the radar as it's a hard game to keep your skills on the highest level! So many great young players now so trying to back to the top will be harder than ever now!

Great series of vids, Mitchell.

Loving the videos! Keep it up

Incredible shot though 😍

I shared the practice range with him a couple years ago at Trinity Forest GC in Dallas.

Hunter seems like one of the good guys on tour. I wish him well. As all golfers know there is only a small line separating the elite golfers from the average touring pro. His swing still looks solid to me and we all know if he puts in the work, he’ll figure it out.

Ask the people at Merion how much of a good guy he is. Treated the staff like shit.

When your mind leaves your self confidence in golf it's so so hard his swing was brilliant

Family>Golf. Golf has already given him more than the rest of us. He had his time and his failed career definitely doesnt equate to failure in life. He's won all the way around and wish his family the best.

these vids are really fun

Thanks for watching 👍🏻

I own so many of the shirts hunter wore. It's a shame his game has fallen so far he was one of my favorite young American players when he was on! So fun to watch!

Well done babe ❤️

Yep...one of good guys and awesome golf swing and ball striking ability. Short game a mess since Ryder cup chilli pitch. That is in his head. Heard him telecast on golf channel. Not too bad. Wish him the best!

I wish Hunter all the best, the Tour would certainly be better with him in the field. Stay strong Hunter, its just a small change that can have you back where you belong. You have all the physical tools, and anyone who knows anything about golf, knows you can make it back.

I always thought his swing looked very tense. Like it could break down easily.

It's a hard game only a few get to the top and stay there. Just ask Jason Dufner

The line between the very top players and losing your card is so razor thin it's ridiculous. The level of play and competition out on tour is so high now he would be better off just kicking back and enjoying life. With the swelling of purses on the PGA Tour and the trickle down of the money onto the Korn Ferry Tour. I personally think the goal now should be to make the Korn Ferry Tour at a minimum. I only say that because it wasn't that long ago what they're playing for on the Korn Ferry Tour now is what they were playing for on the PGA Tour. The big difference is the endorsement deals that come with being on the PGA Tour. A player isn't going to score those lucrative deals playing on the KFT, but the prize money isn't bad. A social media minded player could do quite well for themselves on the lower tours.

Regardless if he never plays another tournament that’s one heck of a career to tell the grand kids about

he'll be back! stronger, better, faster, he's the hunt man

Those who play Golf know it can be a very cruel game, much more than just playing the game itself. It’s a big challenge, very fun and rewarding, but…….. As amateurs we can take the good with the bad (hopefully) but as a professional, if it’s not ALL good, then it’s pretty bad.

I got faith in ya buddy...you'll be back.

Hunters swing is not for the longer courses of today. For example, his swing is the exact opposite of Justin Thomas who hits it far. Hunters swing is more about timing than getting the body into it like a Gary Player for another example.

Hunter is a great guy. I think he will be back. His family situation is much more stabilized now.

Rough road out there , it’s a grind just like any other jobs that make you travel , staying alway from home eating out no family with you , it’s lonely road traveling for work , I work construction an do it all the time months at a time I know his feeling , that being said still a good young golfer. Enjoy broadcasting career, be a good life for you.

I really think what played on his mind was being beaten by GMac, but age is against both of them now, he had a excellent run, a truly great player that that sadly didn't win a major

No you know how great is Tiger Woods

Who were his swing coaches?

Damn this game

Last I saw of him was when he was leading a tournament and dumbass withdrew after his wife had already given birth. I believe that did him in forever just like when Chip Beck was in contention for Masters but laid up on a par 5 with just 200 yds and he took bogey and ended his career too.

Uh!

Hunter started chasing distance with a goal of flying his driver over 300 yards. This happened about the time as his first child was born. As well as after his critical confidence had been dashed too. With three kids 4 or under and enjoying being dad the time put into the change as not enough and he lost his reliable ball striking. He had an incredible run and is a great guy but now a great father not a great golfer.

He is apparently worth 30 million from golf so he's way above average.

Ryder cup loss crushed him he simply didn’t recover. But he’s wealthier than most so I’m sure the ease’s the sting some,maybe.

His career is over. There’s just too many young guys on tour who don’t care who Hunter Mahan is.

Oooooh! Who was he?

Nicklaus Had the same issues with his chipping game early on, someone told him to do a figure eight which is sort of a delay and change of direction...worked for him and most armatures, he should try it!

It amazes me when golfers don't finish 1st alot, people equate that to failure. Give me 2 or 3 million a year doing my job and you can call me a failure all you want to.

What happened , he had the lead at the Canadian Open . Went home to be with his wife in labour. And haven’t seen him since .

Couldn't imagine Hogan, or any old timer, making that move.

Actually he had a very nice and repeatable swing.

I seen Mahans wife bugging him over something about are we going home now when he was going to sign his scorecard and headed to a playoff, he just had kids and his wife was nagging him while he was going into a playoff, i saw that live on TV and said this isn't good and boom no mo Hunter.

That's what a wife will do! It's what got her everything she has with him, but now, in the inimitable words of Earth Wind and Fire, ''used to be right is wrong''! Not a big proponent of them!

👍👍👍

Hunter is 39 and been playing competitive golf all his life. That’s the only thing that makes him tick. He will continue to play golf competitively for many more years he can’t stop. Leaving Foley was a huge mistake. I’d say he will be back, needs to just clear out all the distractions and get stuck into it.

It’s a tough Game

Not a swing you want to copy??? It is textbook depending on which teaching philosophy you subscribe to. The only reason his swing shouldn't be copied is that he has one of a kind moves that almost nobody would be able to execute

He's not the first to " lose it ", that's golf.

I’ve always liked him.

If you consider his achievements, he’s one of the better players in that kind of situation though.

I think withdrawing from that tournament while ahead to attend birth of child has mindfucked him. Never recovered from that day forward. Jinxed him.

Golf is a very cruel game.

nothings happened to mayhem...there are no big deals in life! golf is not a big deal..the sooner he gets his head screwed on straight the better..time for hunter to regroup...lord knows he has some big bucks invested n doesn't need to golf anymore but he'd like nothing more than to go back to his roots, retrain himself n hit the tour..

He's bank balance will cushion the fall....💰💰💰💰

Nice cgi globe opening. Hahaha

Hunter seems like a dudes dude

There was nothing wrong with his golf swing. Take the disrespect out your voice

It’s now 2023. Where is Hunter these days? He seems to have fallen off the face of the Earth.
