One place that Finau focuses on is the first major of the year, the Masters tournament in April, in which he finishes in the top five. The place also happens to be one of his favorite places. (Finau and the tournament have also been connected since he went viral in 2018 after celebrating a hole-in-one hole during the par-3 competition. Finau found it difficult to do the rest of the tournament. )

"It's one of the best designed golf courses in the world," Finau told Men’s Journal. "If you combine that with the story and the games that are played there, it definitely has to be at the top of my list."

For his MJ5, Finau spoke to Men's Journal about how he's trying to attack his gym workouts, his favorite lifts, the best advice he's got, and more. Further interviews with Chris Evans, Russell Wilson, Michael Strahan, Tony Hawk and P.K. can be found in the complete MJ5 archive. Subban, Ewan McGregor and more.

He focuses most on the areas in his training: “The three areas that I attack during my training are stability, mobility and flexibility in the whole body. I think these three areas are very important in golf swing. I attack all parts of my body, just like when I play golf. I go to the gym pretty hard to get stronger every year. I try to gain an advantage by becoming stronger and more fit than other players. At the end of the season it makes a big difference – the special thing about the PGA Tour is that it is such a long season and we have no off-season. So you have to train and stay in shape all year round. "

On his favorite exercises: "I like to use kettlebells for power clean, Olympic lifts and squats – but that's about all the weights I'm going to use. Apart from that, I do a lot of floor work. I'll mix yoga with Pilates for the core and then get on the bike. I also use a lot of bands. "

The best advice he has received: The best advice I've ever been given is "Be yourself". I learned that when you can be your most authentic self, things will happen the way they should in your life. I think we all learn things about ourselves, we are all unique and have unique things about ourselves – and that makes everyone great. That is probably the best advice I can give. "

To travel on his favorite courses: “My favorite course is my home course, where I grew up in Salt Lake City, the Jordan River Par Three. Unfortunately it is no longer there, but I just have so many great memories when I started there and played with my father and brother. It is my favorite place and it is the place where I would like to play my last round if I ever had a chance. As for a golf course that every golfer should play before they die, it's Augusta National. It is a pleasure to be there and play, and there is so much history there. "

About his dream golf matchup: "I had my opportunity with Tiger Woods at the Masters in Augusta National last year and I would love this opportunity again this year. Hopefully I can have this chance again this year and achieve a different result. "
