Early Life and Education

Keegan Bradley was born on June 7, 1986 in Woodstock, Vermont to a golfing family. His father, Mark, heads the Jackson Hole Golf and Tennis Club in Wyoming, while his aunt Pat is a World Golf Hall of Famer. Although Bradley grew up as a top ski racer in Vermont, he decided to switch to golf when he was a teenager. He lived in Portsmouth, New Hampshire for a while when his father worked at the country club there, and then moved to Hopkinton, Massachusetts. In the latter city, Bradley graduated from Hopkinton High School and won the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association Division 2 individual state championship in 2004. He went on to attend St. John's University in New York City, where he won nine collegiate events before his graduation in 2008.

Bradley won another tour event in 2009 at the Texas Honing Open. That season, he made 22 cuts in 26 events and earned $84,000; he also played two Nationwide Tour events, making the cut in both. Continuing to play on the Nationwide Tour in 2010, Bradley posted four consecutive top-five finishes. As a result, he earned his PGA Tour card.

PGA Tour

Bradley debuted on the PGA Tour in 2011 at the Sony Open in Hawaii. The week after that, he finished T-7 at the Bob Hope Classic. Bradley claimed another top-ten finish at the Valero Texas Open in April. He went on to win his first PGA Tour event at the HP Byron Nelson Championship, where he defeated Ryan Palmer in a sudden-death playoff. The win earned him entry into the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational, where he finished T-15. Just one week later, Bradley played his first major event: the PGA Championship. He ultimately won the event in a close battle with Jason Dufner, making him only the third player ever to win a major on his first attempt. This propelled Bradley to number 29 in the Official World Golf Ranking, and helped earn him PGA Tour Rookie of the Year honors for 2011. The following season, he won his third PGA Tour event by defeating Jim Furyk and Steve Stricker at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational. Bradley was consequently boosted to number 15 in the Official World Golf Ranking, and then to number 12 after he finished T-3 at the PGA Championship. He went on to make his first cup appearance ever, at the 2012 Ryder Cup.

In 2013, Bradley claimed two second-place finishes: at the HP Byron Nelson Championship and the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational. He had five other top-ten finishes for the season. Bradley subsequently played with the United States team at the Presidents Cup, winning over the International team. In 2014, he had a second-place finish at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and five further top-ten finishes. Bradley followed that season with his worst yet in 2015, managing only three top-ten finishes and coming in 64th on the PGA Tour's money list. He continued his slump throughout 2016 and 2017, failing to win any tournaments and finishing 114th and 51st, respectively, on the PGA Tour's money list. Bradley bounced back in 2018 to win the BMW Championship, which was part of the FedEx Cup Playoffs; he ended up finishing eighth in the season-long FedEx Cup. His next PGA Tour victory didn't come until 2022 at the Zozo Championship. The next year, Bradley won the Travelers Championship, his sixth win on the PGA Tour. Notably, he broke the tournament's scoring record by going 23-under 257.

Annika Sörenstam is a Swedish retired professional golfer and author who has a net worth of $40 million. Annika Sörenstam's golf career achievements earned her a ranking as one of the most successful female golfers in history. Prior to leaving the world of competitive golf in late 2008, her winning streak earned her the recognition of being the female golfer with the most wins to her name. Sörenstam has had 72 LPGA wins (over 90 professional wins total), and her tally for major championships alone is 10 (between 1995 and 2006, when her world ranking was at #1).

After she turned 50, Annika came out of retirement to win the 2021 U.S. Senior Women's Open. Sörenstam published the book "Golf Annika's Way" in 2004, and in the later years of her golf career, she got involved in golf course design. She opened The ANNIKA Academy in Florida in 2007, and she established The ANNIKA Foundation, which is dedicated to "developing women's golf around the world and encouraging children to lead healthy, active lifestyles." Sörenstam was named LPGA Tour Player of the Year eight times, she was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 2003, and she received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2021.

Early Life

Annika Sörenstam was born Annika Charlotta Sörenstam on October 9, 1970, in Bro, Stockholm County, Sweden. She is the daughter of Gunilla and Tom Sörenstam, and she has a younger sister named Charlotta. Gunilla was a bank employee, Tom was an executive at IBM, and Charlotta, a fellow LPGA Tour winner, coached at The Annika Academy. Annika and Charlotta were the first sisters to win $1 million while competing on the LPGA Tour. During her youth, Sörenstam excelled in soccer and skiing, and she was nationally ranked as a junior tennis player. Her family played golf at the Viksjö Golf Club and Bro-Bålsta Golf Club, and when she was 12 years old, Annika received her first set of golf clubs, which she shared with Charlotta. Sörenstam was shy as a junior, and she often would deliberately three-putt at a tournament's end in order to avoid having to give a victory speech. After the coaches noticed, they decided that both the winner and runner-up would give a speech at the next tournament, so Annika stopped deliberately losing. During her amateur career, Sörenstam won the St Rule Trophy tournament in Scotland in 1990, and Annika and Gunilla finished in second place in Sweden's mother-daughter golf tournament.

From 1987 to 1992, Sörenstam played on the Swedish National Team, and she won the individual competition at the 1992 Espirito Santo Trophy. Before starting college, she was a  personal assistant at the Swedish PGA, and she competed on the Swedish Golf Tour and won three tournaments from 1990 to 1991. After she was spotted by a coach at a collegiate event in Tokyo, Annika moved to the U.S. to attend the University of Arizona in Tucson. There, Sörenstam won seven collegiate titles, and in 1991, she became both the first freshman and the first non-American to win the individual NCAA Division I Championship. Annika and Kelly Robbins were named NCAA Co-Players of the Year in 1991, and in 1992, Sörenstam was the runner-up in the NCAA championship and Pac-10 champion. She was also a 1991–92 NCAA All-American. Annika tied for 63rd place at the 1992 U.S. Women's Open, and she was the runner-up at the U.S. Women's Amateur a few weeks later.

Sörenstam went pro in 1992 and made her professional debut on the Ladies European Tour (LET). She was named the Ladies European Tour Rookie of the Year in 1993, and in 1994, she won the 1994 Holden Women's Australian Open and was named LPGA Tour Rookie of the Year. In 1995, she won her first-ever LPGA Tour title after a victory at the U.S. Women's Open, was the first non-American golfer to win the Vare Trophy, and won more money than any other LPGA player.

Annika would go on to top the Money List seven more times, winning more than $2.5 million in 2002, 2004, and 2005. In 1996, she won the U.S. Women's Open and the Vare Trophy, and the following year she won six tour events. In 2001, Sörenstam became the first player in the LPGA to earn more than $2 million in a single season.

In 2002, she was named both the LPGA Tour Player of the Year and the Ladies European Tour Player of the Year, and in 2003, she won the Women's PGA Championship and the Women's British Open. She also won the Women's PGA Championship in 2004 and 2005, followed by a victory at the U.S. Women's Open in 2006. In February 2006, Women's World Golf Rankings were released for the first time, and Annika was ranked #1.

In 2007, she was diagnosed with bulging and ruptured discs in her neck and had to take a two month break to recover. Sörenstam's final LPGA Tour win took place in May 2008 at the Michelob ULTRA Open at Kingsmill, where she set a tournament scoring record. In May 2008, she announced that she would retire at the end of the year, and the Dubai Ladies Masters was her last professional tournament. In 2021, Annika returned to golf and won the U.S. Senior Women's Open.

Career Earnings & Endorsements

Annika Sörenstam is one of the most successful female golfers of all time, and her earnings reflect her dominance on the LPGA Tour.

In 1982, Watson achieved a longstanding dream when he won the US Open at Pebble Beach. Once again in his career, he faced Jack Nicklaus in an epic showdown, beating him by two shots. Watson went on to also win the 1982 Open Championship, making him one of the few golfers to win both the US Open and Open Championship in the same year.

Among his achievements, he won 25 PGA Tour events and was the first player to shoot 63 in a major championship, which he did to win the 1973 US Open. He first established himself on the junior golf circuit. He joined the Olympic Club in 1963 at age 16 and quickly became their premier player. He went on to win the U.S. Junior Amateur title. He qualified for the 1966 U.S. Open and tied for 8th place. He went on to attend Brigham Young University and graduated with a degree in Physical Education in the late 60s. He turned pro in 1969, and went on to win 25 PGA Tour events, one European Tour event, and one Japan Golf Tour event, among others.

He won the U.S. Open in 1973 and The Open Championship in 1976. He was named PGA Player of the Year in 1974, and was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 1996. After his playing career, Miller became the lead golf analyst on NBC Sports from 1990 to 2019.

Early Life

Johnny Miller was born on April 29, 1947 in San Francisco, California. As an adolescent, he attended Abraham Lincoln High School. Miller went to Brigham Young University for his higher education, graduating in 1969 with a degree in physical education.

Junior Career

Miller began his golf career in 1963 when he was invited to join San Francisco's Olympic Club as a Junior Golf Section member. He quickly became the top player on the junior team, winning the San Francisco city junior title at the age of 16. The next year, Miller won the US Junior Amateur Championship. As a freshman in college, he qualified for the 1966 US Open, where his firsthand knowledge of the San Francisco course helped him finish tied for eighth place. In 1968, Miller won the California Amateur Championship.

PGA Tour

At the age of 22 in 1969, Miller joined the PGA Tour. He won his first PGA event in 1971 at the Southern Open Invitational, and the same year tied for second at the Masters. The following year, he won the Sea Pines Heritage Classic. Miller's best career year was 1973, when he won the US Open. In the final round of the championship, he came back from 12^th place by shooting an incredible eight-under 63, passing all the day's leading players on his way to winning the championship title. Miller's 63 was the lowest round to ever win a major championship. He followed that victory by tying for second at the British Open one month later. Miller continued his success in 1974, becoming the leading money winner on the PGA Tour with eight total victories. He kicked off the next year with three more wins, including the Phoenix Open and the Tucson Open. Miller went on to come in second at the 1975 Masters and third at the British Open.

This would be Miller's final major title, as his form significantly declined over the subsequent years.

In 1980, Miller recorded his first win in nearly four years by claiming Jackie Gleason's Inverrary Classic. He had one final excellent season in 1981, winning the Million Dollar Challenge to become the year's top money winner in the world, and coming in second at the Masters.
