Daniel Ochoa
Daniel Ochoa is an AJGA Rolex Junior All-American who played collegiate golf at the University of Southern California on a four-year scholarship. During college, he earned the David Marks Award for Academic Excellence and graduated with honors from the Marshall School of Business.
Post-graduation, Daniel played professionally for eight years, including seasons on PGA Tour Canada, PGA Tour Latin America, and ultimately PGA Tour Americas. During his time on the various PGA Tours, Daniel developed a deep, practical understanding of green reading, stroke mechanics, and pressure performance using data-driven analytics — and created a system that helped keep him sharp and putting at the highest level at professional events.
Daniel specializes in taking a data-driven approach to help elite amateurs, junior golfers, and collegiate golfers compete at the highest level and get the most out of their game. From learning how to manage the pressure of tournament golf, to elite short-game and a tour-proven putting specialty, Daniel is ready to help you develop a comprehensive approach to learning your tendencies and creating a gameplan to get one percent better every single time you practice and play.
Choose between focused, hour-long private sessions or full course-walks built around tournament preparation. All instruction is one-on-one and tailored to where your game is right now — and where you want it to go next.
