www.mathiasgronberg.com:Hello Mathias, first of all..you have struggled recently with your game. Can you please tell us why you have not played well and what are you doing to get back into good form?
Mathias: Hello, well my game has been very poor lately. I missed alot of practice this winter due to being sick and I have struggled to find my way back.
My game has improved lately but still it is not close to normal. I will work very hard over the next week and hopefully I can fine tune everything for my next event. I am not worried, I will very soon play some great golf.
www.mathiasgronberg.com:What will be your next event?
Mathias: I am scheduled to play in Puerto Rico next week.
www.mathiasgronberg.com:Have you changed anything from last year?
Mathias: Not much really, but I have tried to improve my fitness. The swing I have not changed at all.
www.mathiasgronberg.com:You have recently become very active in the Sven Tumba- Sport for Education fund. Can you please tell us about the fund and what is your role?
Mathias: First of all, this is such a great fund and I am very proud to be part of it.
To help improve children´s life is a true blessing. I will take a very active role here in the US. I am on the Board of Directors and my goal is to assist any way I can to make this fund a success.
I hope other athletes and organisations join in this very important challenge. Everyone should take the time to visit the website and learn more about how you can take part in this.
www.mathiasgronberg.com:How and why did this specific fund attract your interest?
Mathias:Well, the founder, Sven Tumba is one of the biggest sport legends in Sweden and his amazing enthusiasm made me interested in learning more about Sport for Education.
I also have strong connections to South Africa after playing many tournaments there over the years. In 2000 I became the South African Open champion.
I have seen the poverty in the region and understand that something must be done to improve the lives of many children living there. The Sport for Education fund has a great vision and goals and I hope we can make a very positive change.
www.mathiasgronberg.com:Thank you for taking the time to answer the questions and we would also like to wish you a happy birthday (March 12th).
Mathias:Thank you very much and I would like wish everyone a great golfing season. I look forward to meeting everone when coming out to watch us play on the PGA TOUR.
