Justin Rose has revealed the secret to his enduring success on the golf course - a custom "recovery RV" that is brimming with impressive features to keep his physical health at its best. The Englishman has been a formidable force in golf for almost three decades, winning the in 2013, seizing Olympic gold in 2016, and narrowly missing out on the other three majors several times. Just last month, Rose was a at Augusta National and securing his first major trophy since his triumph over a decade ago.
However, final putt didn't find its mark, leaving him to witness McIlroy's crowning moment. This marked the third occasion Rose finished runner-up at the Masters by a millimetre, yet he remains hopeful that the upcoming PGA Championship won't repeat the pattern.
With the second major of 2025 now underway, Rose is set to commence his PGA Championship journey at 7:09pm UK time, playing alongside Cameron Smith and Brian Harman. The ex-US Open victor is determined to make amends for his Masters heartbreak - and he's got a not-so-secret ace up his sleeve.
Rose has previously flaunted his bespoke motorhome, affectionately termed his "recovery vehicle." It is fitted with an array of modern machines that are designed to support his physical recovery and mental resilience.
In an interview with The Telegraph, Rose admitted that tennis star Novak Djokovic was a big influence on his choice to build his RV. He credits the Serbian's emphasis on recovery, as Rose said: "We have a mutual friend and we have always spoken of Novak summing up longevity. He has stressed that recovery is everything and that's why I commissioned and bought my 'recovery vehicle' - my custom-built RV - when I turned 40."
The custom vehicle, which reports suggest took £200,000 to create, features an infrared sauna, hot and cold plunge pools and even a spin bike fitted with an oxygen tank and mask.
Rose added: "Sometimes we can park it on site, but we have had to rent people's back gardens to accommodate it. At the Masters it was right across the street. As a team we have our morning meetings there - it does have a fantastic coffee machine - and it is a nice place to chill. But it is essentially for after the rounds.
"There's everything in it. We've got red-light therapy, we have fresh oxygen - so a spin bike with fresh oxygen - we've hot and cold plungers, infrared sauna and steam shower. It does prolong the day, probably by an hour or more. But it is a good hour. It definitely helps."

Rose provided an exclusive tour of his luxurious trailer with all its unique features to Golf.com's Instagram followers before taking part in the Masters at Augusta National.
The star golfer gave viewers an intimate look around his astonishing vehicle, showcasing his red-light therapy bed, a top-of-the-line spin bike, and a huge oxygen chamber. Rose then led his visitors into what would've been the RV's bedroom, where he kept his plunge pools.
Discussing his wellness routine, the golfer said: "And then this is I think the coolest room, this is what would be the bedroom of a typical RV.
"Here we have hot and cold plunges. You know, I keep it in the 40s, in the high 40s. You don't have to be a complete hero, but for me that's enough to really shock the body and get that response that you are looking for."
He then highlighted his steam-filled shower and infrared sauna facilities, which he believes offer him significant advantages during golf tournaments. Rose added, "Yeah, it's been fun. It's been a fun project."
The Englishman's impeccable performance at the first major of the season was a testament to his commitment. He led throughout the initial stages and kept the eventual champion McIlroy on his toes until the last stroke.
Though Rose ultimately didn't clinch victory, it's evident that his dedication to strict wellness routines and attentive post-game recovery plays an essential role in maintaining his status as one of golf's most impressive professionals for numerous years.
Rose acknowledged the impact of his routines on his game, as he also told : "It was not just the physical stamina, but the mental stamina and the ability to expend that nervous energy. I had breakfast with Shane [Lowry] that morning, and we were on the same score after three rounds.
"Shane said, 'We are a bit back, but if Rory and Bryson [DeChambeau] get caught up in their own thing, one of us could easily come through.'
"I thought about that conversation afterwards. Shane, one of the in-form players in the world, struggled [shooting an 81], and I was the one to do it, and at this stage of my career, I'm proud of that. It tells me I might be doing all the right things."
