Inspired by Rory McIlroy, Rafael Campos drops nearly 45 pounds

Rafael Campos is working to flip the switch after a tough few years.

The 34-year-old Puerto Rican has been ravaged by injuries for several years and lost his PGA Tour card. He had full Tour status for the 2020-21 season and posted top-3 finishes at the Puerto Rico Open and in Puntacana, both of which are opposite-field events. But aside from those two events, he made only five cuts in 23 starts with a single top-20. Then, last year, he had 20 Korn Ferry Tour starts with 14 missed cuts.

After that, "the water just filled over the edge," he said.
