Jim Furyk - PGA Championship Players
Jim Furyk has over 20 victories to his name, 13 of which are on the PGA Tour. His most notable win has to be his win at the 2003 US Open Championship.
Furyk won at least one tournament each year on the PGA Tour between 1998 and 2003. At the time, this was the second best streak of winning seasons behind Tiger Woods and he made the top ten in the Official World Golf Rankings. Furyk's biggest win to date came on 16 June 2003 when he tied the record for the lowest 72-hole score in U.S. Open history to win his first major championship.
In 2004 he only played in fourteen events after missing three months due to surgery to repair cartilage damage in his wrist. He then fell off the top hundred on the money list but made a good comeback in 2005 regaining his top ten ranking. He went on to win a PGA Tour event in that year and two in 2006.
The 2006 season saw Furyk finish a career high at second on the the money list and he won the Vardon Trophy for the first time. He also had a career-best thirteen top 10 finishes including nine top 3s, four second place finishes and two victories.
Jim Furyk's trademark golf swing involves a very distinctive looping motion which raised eyebrows in his early career. However his instructor and father never forced him to change this trademark move and today his ball-striking precision is serving him well on the professional tour.
