Precision Sports

Bill Hoffman, widely known as The Joker, is an American ten-pin bowler from Cleveland, Ohio, born in 1971. He made his Bowling World Cup debut in Lisbon, Portugal, in 2000, finishing 17th, and returned in 2003 in Tegucigalpa, Honduras, where he rolled the only 300 game of the tournament and earned the top seed for the knockout rounds before being eliminated in the semifinals. On his third try, at the 2007 Bowling World Cup in St. Petersburg, Russia, he qualified as the second seed for the stepladder finals and defeated Andres Gomez and Jason Belmonte to win the title, ending a twelve-year winless streak for American men in the event. A graduate of Ohio State University, where he majored in international relations and political science, he has rolled several 300 games, has a three-game best of 857, and is described as a five-time world champion and a member of the International Bowling Hall of Fame.
