How Martin Kaymer Reached World No. 1 Then disappeared
Before he became a major champion and world number one, Martin Kaymer was a late-starting kid in Dusseldorf learning golf the hard way. This short documentary follows the disciplined foundation, rapid rise, and bold decision that changed the course of his career.
From family training without tees to breakthrough amateur wins, Kaymer climbed from Germany’s developmental circuits to the European Tour in a remarkably short time. The story tracks his early struggles as a pro, his breakout wins in Abu Dhabi and across Europe, the loss of his mother, his first major at the 2010 PGA Championship, and the run that made him world number one. Then came the surprising twist: after reaching the top, Kaymer chose to change his swing in search of more control at the biggest events, a move he later admitted was a mistake before bouncing back with a dramatic WGC victory in Shanghai.
