Billy Horschel, a PGA golfer, has been using a Taylor Swift bracelet as a motivational tactic without even realizing it. After The PLAYERS Championship, Horschel’s wife made him a bracelet that read “FEARLESS,” inspired by Swift’s second album of the same name. Despite not being a big fan of Swift’s music, Horschel decided to wear the bracelet in order to play with less fear on the golf course. The bracelet also features the names of his daughters, Sky, Colbs, and Ax, showing the personal connection it holds for him.
Horschel’s daughters are huge Taylor Swift fans, and after attending one of her concerts with his wife, they decided to create the bracelet for him. The golfer admits that he initially wanted to write “FEARLESS” with a Sharpie on his wrist during a tournament, showing his commitment to the mindset the word represents. Since wearing the bracelet, Horschel has received a lot of questions about it from fans, most of them wondering if he is a Swiftie or if the bracelets are a symbol of friendship. Despite not being a big Swift fan, Horschel feels that the bracelet helps him focus on the right mindset while playing golf.
Having finished seventh in the Houston Open and securing his second top-10 finish of the year, Horschel is now aiming for his first win since The Memorial in June 2022. The 2014 FedEx Cup champion is motivated to continue his success on the course and is using the “FEARLESS” bracelet as a reminder to play without fear. Despite not being a huge fan of Taylor Swift, Horschel appreciates the impact the bracelet has had on his mindset during games. He finds the connection to his family and the message of fearlessness on the bracelet to be a powerful motivator as he competes in PGA events.
While he may not have the same luck as Travis Kelce, who dated Taylor Swift after wearing her bracelet, Horschel is grateful for the encouragement the bracelet provides. His daughters’ love for Taylor Swift introduced him to the idea of using the singer as a source of motivation, even if he is not familiar with her music. Wearing the “FEARLESS” bracelet has become a routine for Horschel, serving as a reminder to focus on playing with courage and without fear. As he continues to compete in PGA tournaments, Horschel will rely on the power of the bracelet to keep him in the right mindset on the course.
