What to Expect from a TPI Physical Screen

If you’re a golfer looking to stay pain-free, improve consistency, and play your best for longer, the TPI Physical Screen is a powerful first step. Developed by the Titleist Performance Institute, this movement-based assessment helps uncover how your body influences your golf swing and what you can do to optimize both performance and longevity.

What Is a TPI Physical Screen?

The TPI Physical Screen is a comprehensive series of functional movement tests designed to assess how well your body can move through the demands of the golf swing. Rather than analyzing your swing technique, it evaluates the physical components that contribute to it; such as mobility, stability, and control.

Each screen is conducted by a TPI-certified physiotherapist, and in many cases, it can be submitted under extended health insurance coverage. The screening includes 16 movement tests targeting:

• Shoulder rotation and control
• Hip mobility and strength
• Spinal stability and posture
• Core endurance and coordination
• Balance and lower-body control

Why a TPI Screen Matters for Golfers

Many common golf swing faults, like early extension, sway/slide, or loss of posture, are often caused by physical limitations rather than poor technique. A TPI Physical Screen helps identify those physical roadblocks so we can create a targeted plan to address them.

By improving how your body moves, you can:

• Enhance swing efficiency and control
• Lower your risk of injury
• Improve consistency on the course
• Train smarter with individualized exercises

Understanding the Body-Swing Connection™

The results of the TPI Screen are mapped to TPI’s Body-Swing Connection™ model. This proven framework links your physical movement patterns to 12 of the most common swing characteristics seen in golfers of all levels.

While the screen isn’t a swing analysis, it offers valuable insights into how your body may be contributing to specific patterns or limitations in your swing. These results can also be shared with your swing coach to align your physical training with your technical goals.

What Happens After the Screen?

Once your screen is complete, you’ll receive a personalized plan to help improve your golf performance. This may include:

• Mobility or stability exercises targeting specific limitations
• Core strengthening and control drills
• Postural or movement corrections to support swing mechanics

Whether you’re dealing with recurring aches, want to avoid injury, or are simply looking to maximize your game, the TPI Physical Screen provides the roadmap to get you there.
