Tony has also said he would probably be a chef if it weren't for golf. He has given credit for his cooking skills to his mother. In an interview with Helen Ross from PGA Tour, he said:

My mom was able to just look at what was on it, kind of taste it and the very next night she did her rendition. That was probably my favourite meal that she made us. … But she did that with a lot of dishes - anytime we go somewhere she would challenge herself to either to make the same sauce or the same burger or whatever the case may be.

Is Alayna Finau a Samoan?

The romantic couple, Alayna and Tony are proud of their Polynesian heritage and their shared faith as Latter-Day Saints. Tony, who is of Samoan and Tongan descent, expressed that it is an honor for him to represent his people at his current level. He believes that the Polynesian culture and the gospel are compatible, as they both promote respect and humility.
