TPI stands for Titleist Performance Institute. TPI is the world’s leading educational organization dedicated to the study of how the human body functions in relation to the golf swing. TPI determined how physical limitations in a player’s body can adversely affect the golf swing and potentially lead to injury. The relationship is what TPI calls the Body-Swing Connection and is the foundation of all professional Certification courses offered by TPI.

To achieve an efficient swing, a golfer must first be screened. A proper screen involves an assessment of swing mechanics, biomechanics, physical fitness, movement quality, current health, and injury history.

The TPI movement screen is a test to evaluate a player’s physical capabilities. The results of the assessment are used to determine how technical elements of the player’s swing could be related to what the body can and cannot do. Once the screen is finished, the results are used to create a plan unique for the golfer. The plan may include fitness training, injury prevention, coaching of swing mechanics and biomechanics, and mental strategy.
