Eddie Pepperell shares personal insights in this week’s Player in Focus – from favorite destinations to dream meals.
Known for his dry wit and outspoken views, Eddie Pepperell took a step off the fairway and into the spotlight in the latest “Player in Focus,” presented by Hotel Planner. In a relaxed Q&A-style interview shared via Instagram Reel, the English golfer opened up about travel, food, binge-worthy TV, and life beyond the ropes of professional golf.
Golf memories from India to Scotland
Pepperell cites Kolkata, India, as his favorite event stop on the Hotel Planner schedule. Traveling there with his partner Jenn, he found himself captivated by the culture and the unique experience. "Great golf course in a pretty incredible country," he said. That curiosity continues in his private travels too—naming the Isle of Skye as his dream destination following a stunning trip with his dogs earlier this year. It’s a side of Pepperell fans rarely see: the traveller and the deep appreciator of striking landscapes.
Beyond the greens: steak, sarcasm, and streaming
No surprise for fans familiar with his straightforward, heartfelt social posts: when asked about favorite food, Pepperell goes with steak. When it comes to entertainment, he shows his darker side by declaring "Stranger Things" as his latest binge, and "World War Z" as his all-time favorite movie—chosen for its apocalyptic appeal and its lead actor Brad Pitt.
Asked about the best advice he’s ever received, Pepperell recalls his father’s wise words: “Speak to the binman the same way you’d speak to the queen.” It’s a principle Pepperell carries into his interviews and media presence, often known for his grounded and approachable demeanor.
An affinity for Spain and hypothetical careers
The conversation ends on a playful note: if he weren’t a professional golfer, Pepperell says he’d become a food critic. The interviewer quips he’d be perfect for it—perhaps owing to his honesty and taste-driven takes on life. A side career in sarcasm, he jokes, would also suit him.
When asked what superpower he’d choose, the answer comes almost too naturally: "I’d like to hit a driver." It’s a tongue-in-cheek nod to the endless pursuit of perfection even elite players face.
This Player in Focus paints a well-rounded picture of Eddie Pepperell—not just as one of golf’s most candid voices, but as a thoughtful traveler, steak connoisseur, and someone genuinely appreciative of life’s deeper, sometimes quieter moments.
