Golfer

The Resume

    (May 1, 1971- )
    Resides in Orlando, FL
    Turned pro in 1992
    Joined PGA tour in 1996
    Won Honda Classic (1997), Kemper Open (1998), Shell Houston Open (1999), Las Vegas Invitational (2003), Mercedes Championships (2004, 05)

Why he might be annoying:

    He practiced golf on the dairy farm where he grew up (while trying not to step in any cow pies).
    He was the complete opposite of his first wife; she was driven and intense, he was laid back.
    After his first wife's death, he went into a deep depression.
    He held a press conference two weeks after her death, a physical and emotional wreck.
    This caused someone at the conference to comment, 'he looked like a man tortured by the Grim Reaper.'
    He met his second wife, whose family operated a funeral home, on a blind date.
    He nearly skipped the 2005 Mercedes Championships (which he won) due to a nerve problem in his left hip and upper thigh caused him severe pain, and his pregnant wife was set to give birth any day.

Why he might not be annoying:

    His first wife acted as his caddie when he joined the PGA Tour.
    She was killed in a freak accident after being pinned between vehicles while unloading luggage from a taxi outside Waterloo Rail Station in London (July 23, 1998).
    He performed CPR on her but she died en route to a hospital.
    Two weeks later he bravely answered questions at a press conference where PGA players and friends were amazed by his courage. He bravely recounted the event and his plans for the future.
    Payne Stewart wept openly for his loss.
    After serious soul searching he decided to carry on with touring.
    A year later he managed to win the 1999 Shell Houston Open.
    His second wife had turned down modeling offers. She was unimpressed with golfing, but fell hopelessly in love with him and his candor.
    His PGA mates, friends and family members all hoped he could find true love again, which he did.
    He married his blind date, Ashley Saleet (December 10, 2002), and became a first time father in 2005.
