David Duval has been an analyst on Golf Channel, but before that, he was a tenured master of the golf course.
The former World No. 1 won his first and only major at the 2001 British Open and came close to two Masters titles (second place in 1998 and T-2 in 2001) and a U.S. Open title in 2009 (T-2).
Duval, who was born on Nov 09, 1971, joined the PGA Tour in 1995 after playing college golf at Georgia Tech. One of Duval’s most memorable achievements was after earning his first Tour victory at the 1997 Michelob Championship at Kingsmill, he went on to win his next two starts in consecutive weeks at the Walt Disney World/Oldsmobile Classic and Tour Championship.
In the 30 years after he participated in his first Tour event, the 1990 U.S. Open, Duval accumulated 13 victories on Tour.
Here are a few of the highlights from his extensive career:
