About us
Founded by husband-and-wife professional golfers Paula Valdes and Tano Goya, TMPO Golf Performance combines years of competitive experience with personalized coaching to help golfers of all ages and skill levels reach their full potential.
After years of competing at the collegiate and professional levels, we wanted to turn our experience into something meaningful: helping others grow through the game we love.
Together, we founded TMPO Golf Performance to create a coaching environment where every golfer feels supported, challenged, and inspired to improve.
Our goal is simple: to help you become the best golfer you can be, wherever your journey takes you.

A former NCAA Division I golfer at Clemson University and Epson Tour professional, Paula brings her competitive experience and passion for player development to coaching. She helps golfers of all levels build strong fundamentals, develop confidence, and work toward their individual goals.
Co-Founder | Professional Golfer & Coach
With over 20 years of professional experience across the PGA Tour, DP World Tour, Korn Ferry Tour, and PGA Tour Americas, Tano brings extensive knowledge of high-level competition. His coaching emphasizes technique, course management, and helping players perform at their best.
We believe every golfer is unique, and their development should be too.
Our approach goes beyond technique, incorporating the mental, physical, and strategic aspects of the game to help players become more confident, independent, and well-rounded golfers.
