Phil Kenyon counts the likes of McIlroy, Rose, Stenson and Westwood among his growing list of students, and they go to him for one reason – he really knows his stuff.
For a man who coaches the cream of the crop on the European and PGA Tours, Kenyon could be forgiven for shouting from the rooftops. Lesser coaches are guilty of such bravado, but the Lancastrian prefers to let his CV do the talking.
Schooled by the original “putting doctor” Harold Swash, Kenyon is the director of Harold Swash Putting – a “school of excellence” at Formby Hall – and boasts a client list which reads like a who’s who of former world number ones and multiple Major champions.
Henrik Stenson’s name is on there and has been for eight years. Justin Rose joined the roster last summer – and won Olympic gold just weeks later. That was enough to convince Rory McIlroy to visit Kenyon’s studio in August. “It was supposed to be one session, just to see where I was,” said McIlroy. “But we gelled well so it was an easy decision after that.”
Kenyon is an Odyssey ambassador who uses high- speed cameras, a SAM Putting Lab, Quintic Ball Roll software and a hydraulic putting green to glean every last detail about a stroke. After Rory went there, he took a month to study the numbers and evaluate the relationship before deciding to go with Kenyon.
The Irishman promptly holed his way to the Tour Championship and a $10 million FedEx Cup payday in September. Not that Kenyon is taking any of the credit. He prefers to hang in the background, passing on his intimate knowledge on the putting stroke one-on-one with his stable of stars.
Putting guru Phil Kenyon’s high-profile clientele speaks to his expertise
His client list is certainly impressive. Currently working with Phil Kenyon on their putting strokes are four major champions — Rory McIlroy, Henrik Stenson, Justin Rose and Louis Oosthuizen — four European Ryder Cup players — Chris Wood, Matt Fitzpatrick, Thomas Bjorn and Stephen Gallacher — and the current leader in the Race to Dubai, Tommy Fleetwood. Clearly, Kenyon, a 43-year old Englishman and protege of legendary putting coach, Harold Swash, is doing something right.
“Phil has really been great for me,” confirms Stenson. “He has played a big part in improving my putting. I’m not sure of the exact numbers, but many times over the last couple of years I have produced a better finish in tournaments because of my work on the greens rather than my ball-striking. Before Phil came along that was hardly ever the case.
“He is so knowledgeable and I have really benefited from his advice. And I know I’m not alone in saying that. Look at all the high-profile players he helps. One of those is Justin. I think he gave Phil a call right after I won the Open last year. Not long after, Justin beat me to the gold medal in the Rio Olympics. I will have to have a chat with Phil about that (laughs).”
