Lee Westwood

Precision Sports

Lee Westwood is an English professional golfer, born on 24 April 1973, who has won tournaments on five continents and across four decades, including victories on the European Tour and the PGA Tour. He was named European Tour Golfer of the Year for the 1998, 2000, 2009 and 2020 seasons and won the European Tour Order of Merit in 2000. In October 2010 he became world number one, ending Tiger Woods's long reign and becoming the first British golfer to hold the top spot since Nick Faldo in 1994, and the first to reach it without a major win. He is often named among the best golfers never to win a major and has played in more majors than anyone without winning one. He has represented Europe in eleven Ryder Cups.
