Rare events bring one of golf’s greatest teachers back to golfers and instructors around the world
Houston, Texas — Golf Live+ will present an extraordinary opportunity for golfers, instructors, and fans worldwide when legendary teacher Bob Toski, one of the true pioneers of modern golf instruction, joins Mike Malaska, past PGA National Teacher of the Year, for a special live-streamed conversation on Thursday, August 13, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. EDT. The exclusive event is part of Mike Malaska’s monthly Golf Live+ series and marks one of Toski’s rare appearances at age 99.
Few individuals have influenced golf instruction more profoundly than Bob Toski. During his remarkable career, he excelled both as a PGA Tour competitor and as one of the game’s most respected teachers.
His accomplishments include:
- Five PGA Tour victories
- 1954 PGA Tour Leading Money Winner
- Original Golf Digest Top 50 Instructor
- Founder of the Golf Digest Instruction Schools
- First living instructor inducted into the World Golf Teachers Hall of Fame
- PGA Golf Professional Hall of Fame member
Generations of instructors regard Toski alongside Harvey Penick and Manuel de la Torre as one of the architects of modern golf instruction. His emphasis on athletic movement, balance, feel, and developing a swing that complements an individual’s natural abilities continues to influence coaches around the world.
“Bob is the reason instructors are able to make a living teaching the game of golf,” said Mike Malaska, Founder of Malaska Golf. “Many of us gained invaluable experience while working with Bob at the Golf Digest Golf Schools. His teaching philosophy was decades ahead of its time. Even today, Bob continues to challenge us to think differently about how golfers learn.”
Despite approaching his 100th birthday, Toski remains passionate about sharing his knowledge. According to Malaska, preparation for the event has included regular conversations with Toski, who continues to generate new ideas and topics for discussion.
“I’ve spent my life trying to help golfers enjoy the game more. If I can still share something that helps someone play better, I’m happy to do it.” – Bob Toski
The interactive program will connect Malaska in Arizona with Toski in Florida using Golf Live’s live-streaming technology, allowing golfers around the world to participate in an event that would have been impossible only a few years ago. Rather than simply watching a recorded presentation, viewers will experience and participate in a live conversation between two generations of golf instruction, sharing stories, teaching philosophies, and insights developed over decades of helping golfers improve.
As golf continues to grow worldwide, opportunities to hear directly from one of the individuals who helped shape modern instruction have become increasingly rare. This event offers instructors, coaches, players, and recreational golfers a chance to learn from a teacher whose influence extends across generations.
Golfers may register for the event through Golf Live+ and receive a seven-day complimentary trial using the promotional code GOLF. The trial also includes access to Golf Live+’s expanding library of instructional content and live educational programming from golf’s leading instructors.
