Typical Practice Time on Putting for Tour Pro’s

ByTom Ridley

How much time do pro’s spend practicing putting?

  • Daily Routine: Many tour players spend 1–2 hours per day focused solely on putting.
  • Pre-Round Warmup: Before a competitive round, they’ll usually dedicate 20–40 minutes just on the putting green to get a feel for pace and green conditions.
  • Weekly Total: Over the course of a practice week, it’s common for professionals to log 10–15 hours specifically on putting.

How They Structure Practice

  • Short Putts (inside 6 feet) – drilled repeatedly, since these are crucial for scoring.
  • Lag Putting (20–40 feet) – practiced to improve speed control and reduce 3-putts.
  • Drills & Training Aids – alignment sticks, gates, mirrors, or specialist tools (like the Arc Master, which Golf4Home installed the artificial putting green grass in the iPUTT studio). The Arc Master system redefines Golf putting training
  • Pressure Practice – recreating on-course pressure situations, often finishing practice only when a set challenge is completed (e.g., holing 20 in a row from 5 feet).

Why They Spend So Much Time on Putting

  • Around 40% of all shots in a round are putts.
  • Small improvements (just 1 fewer putt per round) can mean thousands of pounds in prize money over a season.
  • The mental side of putting also requires constant work – confidence and routine are as important as mechanics.

Why the Pros Practise at Home Too?
