Andy Bean has won 11 times on the PGA TOUR and three times on the Champions Tour. 

He was introduced to golf through his father, who owned a golf course in Lakeland, FL.  As a teen, he was an All-American at the University of Florida and qualified for the US Open (1974) as an amateur.  He turned professional in 1976 and won for the first time on the PGA TOUR in 1977 at the Doral-Eastern Open.

Chip Beck won four times on the PGA TOUR, but is still searching for his first victory on the Champions Tour.  He is perhaps best known for his runner-up finish at the Masters in 1993, which earned him a spot on that year's Ryder Cup team.  He also played on the Ryder Cup team for the US in 1989 and 1991. 

Beck was introduced to golf at age 10, and in 1991 he recorded the second 59 ever in the PGA TOUR competition, in the third round of the Las Vegas Invitational.  He has made seven holes-in-one during his professional career, including one on a par 4 of 316 years in 2003 when he was playing the first round of the Omaha Classic on the Nationwide Tour.

Brad Bryant won only once in his 18-year career on the PGA TOUR, but has earned four victories as a member of the Champions Tour.  His finest moment came in 2007 when he claimed the US Senior Open at Whistling Straits, coming from five strokes back in the final round to overtake Tom Watson.

Nicknamed "Dr. Dirt," Bead played 475 events on the PGA TOUR before finally finishing first, at the 1995 Walt Disney World/Oldsmobile Classic.  He has overcome lover back and shoulder injuries to rejuvenate his golf game after age 50.

His younger brother, Bart, plays on the PGA TOUR.  And Brad says that watching his brother win three times on the Tour have been his favorite moments in golf.

Mark Calcavecchia has won 13 times on the PGA TOUR so his expectations are high for his rookie year as a member of the Champions Tour.  He was a fixture on the PGA TOUR for nearly 30 years where he has played in more than 720 events.  One special moment that stands out was his win at the 1989 British Open at Royal Troon, where he beat Greg Norman and Wayne Grady in a multiple-hole playoff.  He sealed the win with a 5-iron approach to seven feet on the fourth and funal hole of the playoff.  It was one of three victories that season for Calcavecchia.

Mark also enjoys bowling, a sport that he learned from hanging around the bowling alley where his father was the proprieter as a teen.  He still maintains a 205 average.  He focused on golf when his family moved from Nebraska to Florida.

John Cook has won 11 times on the PGA TOUR and four more times on the Champions Tour since turning 50 just three years ago.  Last year was his best on the Champions Tour, where he was one of only five multiple winners.  He also finished second in the season-long race for the Charles Schwab Cup.

Cook was born in Ohio, but grew up in southern California.  Nonetheless, he was persuaded to attend Ohio State by a famous alumni Jack Nicklaus and Tom Weiskopf.  He was a three-time All-American in college and won the 1978 US Amateur, beating Scott Hoch in the final match.

Ben Crenshaw won 19 times on the PGA TOUR with his wins spanning 22 years.  He joined the Champions Tour in 2002 and his best finish so far has been as runner-up at the 2007 US Senior Open.  He was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 2002, and his two Masters wins and his role as captain of the victorious US Ryder Cup team in 1999 stand out in a brilliant career.

Crenshaw won his first Masters title in 1984 when he came from two strokes back to defeat Tom Watson.  He won his second Masters in 1995 in dramatic fashion, closing to edge Davis Love by a stroke.  His Ryder Cup team stated the greatest comeback in the event's long history, coming from four points back on the final day for the win.

Crenshaw has been recognized with countless awards for his service to the game he holds dear.  He has received the Bob Jones Award from the USGA and the Old Tom Morris Award from the R&A.  In 1989, he received the Richardson Award from the Golf Writers of America.

Allen Doyle came to professional golf in a most unusual way; he didn’t turn professional until he was 47 and he was the oldest rookie in PGA Tour history when he began playing in 1996. His best finish on the PGA Tour was seventh at the 1998 Deposit Guaranty Golf Classic. But the regular Tour was just a warm-up for things to come.

Doyle earned full-time status on the Champions Tour for 1999 and has since won 11 times since turning 50. His list of victories is highlighted by back-to-back U.S. Senior Open titles (2005 and 2006) and the PGA Seniors Championship in 1999.

Doyle played both hockey and golf at Norwich College in Vermont. He was the top scoring defenseman in Norwich history when he graduated and he was also the ECAC golf champion in 1970. Doyle was one of the nation’s top amateur golfers for more than 20 years and was named to two Walker Cup teams (1991 and 1993). He was a semifinalist at the 1992 U.S. Amateur, where he lost to eventual champion Justin Leonard.

Fred Funk has won eight times on the PGA Tour and has collected five victories on the Champions Tour since 2006. He won the U.S. Senior Open and finished in the top 10 in more than half of his 21 starts in 2009.

Noted for his driving accuracy, Funk was the PGA Tour leader in that category seven times in his 19-year career. His biggest regular Tour victory came at the 2005 Players Championship, where at age 48 he become that event’s oldest champion.

Funk graduated from the University of Maryland with a degree in Law Enforcement and later was that school’s golf coach from 1982-1988. He also worked as a newspaper circulation supervisor as well before joining the PGA Tour.

He joined the Champions Tour in 2004 and has claimed three senior major titles – the Senior PGA Championship in 2006 and 2008, and the Constellation Energy Senior Players event in 2009.

He won the NCAA title in 1975 while playing at Wake Forest, and he received the Fred Haskins Award that year as the top collegiate player. He was awarded the Bob Jones Award from the USGA in 2005.

Hale Irwin has enjoyed an illustrious career that has included 20 PGA Tour victories and 45 more wins on the Champions Tour.Irwin is a three-time US Open winner and has won seven major titles on the Champions Tour.

He is widely regarded as the most successful player in Champions Tour history, with 43 seconds and 22 thirds to go along with his 45 wins. Of his PGA Tour wins, his 1990 Open victory stands out because with that playoff win at age 45, he became the oldest to win the National title.

Irwin has played on five Ryder Cup teams, and from 1975 through 1978 he played in 86 tournaments without missing a cut. He was a two-sport star at Colorado, where he won the NCAA golf title in 1968 and was a two-time All Big Eight defensive back in football. He delivered the commencement speech at his alma mater in 2007.

Tom Kite won 19 times on the PGA Tour and has added another 10 victories as a member of the Champions Tour. The 2009 season was Kite’s 10th consecutive season where he has finished in the top 30 money-leaders. Kite needed surgery to repair a torn bicep tendon in the off season.

Kite’s brilliant PGA Tour career was highlighted with his win at the 1992 U.S. Open where his even par final round of 72 in difficult conditions at Pebble Beach earned him a victory over Jeff Sluman. He was the first player in Tour history to reach $9 million in career earnings, and he was the Tour’s leading money-winner in 1981 and 1989.

Kite has played on seven Ryder Cup teams and was the captain of the U.S. team in 1997. As a collegiate player he shared the NCAA title with teammate Ben Crenshaw. After wearing glasses since age 12, Kite had LASIK surgery to correct acute nearsightedness in 1998.

Langer capped 2009 with his second consecutive Player of the Year Award on the Champions Tour. He again was the leading money-winner and again had the lowest scoring average on the circuit, a noteworthy mark of 68.9 per round.

Roberts was a bit of a late-bloomer on the regular Tour. He joined the circuit in 1981 but didn’t get his first win until 1994, when he won the Nestle Invitational at Bay Hill. Before earning a spot on the Tour, he was an assistant pro at San Luis Obispo CC and Morro Bay Municipal in California.

After an opening round of 75 at Augusta, he came back to beat Don Pohl in a playoff. His last regular Tour victory came in 2003 at the B.C. Open, when he was already a member of the Champions Tour.

Trevino has fought through back problems in his career and was even struck by lightning at the 1975 Western Open. He served in the Marine Corps for four years from age 17 to 21. His first golf job was as an assistant pro in El Paso, Texas.

Bob Tway won eight times on the PGA Tour between 1986 and 2003, but did not find the winner’s circle in 2009, his first year as a member of the Champions Tour. His best finish last year was a tie for second at the Administaff Small Business Classic in a limited schedule of only nine starts.

Zoeller collected another major win at the 1984 U.S. Open, again winning in a playoff, this time over Greg Norman.

A crowd favorite, Zoeller has played on three Ryder Cup teams. He received the USGA Bob Jones Award in 1985. He enjoys the outdoors, and went sheep hunting in Alaska in 2001. His Wolf Challenge golf event has raised more than $2 for local charities in his home area.
