Driving success: discovering the common ground of business and golf
In January 2022, KT proudly embarked on a journey of partnership with PGA Tour golfer Luke List, a moment that quickly turned into elation as Luke clinched his first-ever PGA tournament victory at the Farmers Insurance Open. Since then, Luke has been a valued presence at various events, including the KT Excellence Awards ceremony in 2022, and numerous golf outings that brought together clients and team members, all of which were thoroughly enjoyed by everyone involved.
The close relationship between critical thinking capabilities and professional golf is unmistakable. Our methodologies are precisely the same ones employed by golfers every time they step onto the course. Before each tee-shot, situation appraisal assists in evaluating course conditions, weather factors, and other pertinent details that influence the strategy for playing a particular hole. Similarly, Decision Analysis, Potential Problem Analysis, and Potential Opportunity Analysis serve as rational process tools that aid golfers in refining their game and enhancing their performance, mirroring the principles applied in business.
On this page, you’ll discover a collection of links to videos, articles, and press releases highlighting Luke List’s journey and KT’s proud sponsorship. We consider Luke an integral part of our team and are immensely proud to stand alongside him in his pursuit of excellence on the golf course.
What a shot!
