Playing Style

His self–taught style, distinguished by an out-to-in swing designed to fade the ball (which he devised to combat a chronic hook), led to many exciting shots and skins game victories.

Trevino never had an instructor or coach, stating he never met one he couldn't beat on the golf course.
