Tony Finau may have a future career in motivational speaking when he’s done playing professional golf.

The PGA Tour player, who is teeing it up in this week’s Sentry Tournament of Champions, has been in Hawaii for nearly three weeks visiting his wife’s family on Oahu. During that time, Finau delivered a pre-game speech to a local high school football team before its state-championship game appearance last month.

Finau has two connections to Kahuku High: his wife, Alayna, attended and played volleyball there, and Finau’s friend currently is an assistant for the Red Raiders football team.
