Message from Hideki Matsuyama

Dear Friends, Golf has been a journey of patience, perseverance, and passion in my life. From the quiet fairways of Ehime, Japan, to the grand stages of the Masters and beyond, I have learned that every round—just like life—is filled with challenges and opportunities. Winning the Masters in 2021 was not just a personal achievement, but a moment of pride for Japan and for all of Asia. I carry that responsibility with humility and gratitude. Each tournament, each swing, reminds me that success is built on countless hours of dedication and support from others. To the aspiring golfers reading this: never stop believing in yourself. Whether you’re practicing under the hot sun in Dhaka or in the early morning mist of Tokyo, remember that the game rewards discipline, not shortcuts. Golf is not just a sport—it’s a way of thinking, of growing, and of connecting with others across borders and cultures. I’m deeply encouraged to see golf growing in countries like Bangladesh. Platforms like Golf & Beyond are inspiring a new generation to take up the game, and I am honored to share this message with you. Keep swinging, keep dreaming, and remember: every green is a new beginning. With warm regards, Hideki Matsuyama Professional Golfer, Japan
