Sergio Garcia had to change his mindset to finally win a major championship and don the Green Jacket at the 2017 Masters. We can take a lesson from Sergio to adopt the correct mindset to achieve greatness in our businesses. Sergio Garcia has been playing in major championships since 1996. Prior to his win at the Masters, he had played in 72 majors and although he had finished inside the top 10 on 22 occasions, including four runners-up, he could never get over the hump to win. Who can forget the youthful, exuberance of the 19-year-old Garcia, as he carved a shot from behind a tree and dashed across the fairway to watch it run up on the green at the 1999 PGA Championship to finish runner-up to Tiger Woods. Back then, he was a can’t-miss kid, sure to win majors by the bunches and follow in the footsteps of his idol and fellow countryman, the legendary, Seve Ballesteros. 70majors and17 years later, he still did not own a major championship trophy and was tagged with the dubious title of “Best Player to Have NeverWon aMajor.” A title professional golfers do not appreciate, to be sure. The years, countless scars fromnearmisses and the continual questions from the media about the drought, had placed added pressure on the Spaniard and caused him to doubt even himself.
