Curtis Strange

Curtis Strange is an American professional golfer and television commentator, born in 1955 in Norfolk, Virginia. He played at Wake Forest University, where his teams won an NCAA championship, and turned professional in 1976. Strange was one of the leading players on the PGA Tour in the 1980s, taking 16 of his 17 tour victories in that decade and topping the money list in 1985, 1987 and 1988, when he became the first player to win a million dollars in official money in a season. His two majors were the consecutive U.S. Opens of 1988 and 1989, making him one of few golfers since World War II to defend that title. He was elected to the World Golf Hall of Fame in 2007.
