Tom Watson is an American professional golfer who was one of the leading players in the world during the 1970s and 1980s. He won eight major championships, made up of five Open Championships, two Masters titles and one U.S. Open, and headed the PGA Tour money list five times. He was ranked number one in the world from 1978 until 1982, replacing Jack Nicklaus, over whom several of his major victories came. Watson is regarded as one of the finest links golfers in history. Late in his career, at nearly sixty years of age, he came within one putt of winning the 2009 Open Championship, and he captained the United States Ryder Cup side in 1993 and again in 2014.
