Rich Beem


Residence: Austin, Texas
DOB: 24/08/1970
Rich Beem’s is an amazing story. He attended the New Mexico State University and turned professional in 1994. His first five years on tour were pretty barren – so dispirited was he that in 1995 he left the game completely to sell mobile phones in Seattle. It was there watching fellow Texan J.P. Hayes win the 1998 Buick Classic that his interest was renewed. He rejoined the tour and, amazingly, in 1999 he won the Kemper Open as an unheard-of rookie. In 2002 he went on to win his second tour event at The International at Castle Rock, Colorado – and in the same year won a Major ! – the USPGA at Hazeltine where he held off Tiger who birdied the last four holes. Our biog photo shows him holding the trophy.

 2007  PODS Championship

March 8-11 2007. The PODS Championship played at the Copperhead Course at the Innisbrook Resort in Palm Harbor, Florida was won by 1998 Open Champion Mark Calcavecchia with a 10 under par score of 274. This was Calcavecchia’s first Tour victory since the 2005 Bell Canadian – and his 13th win in total. The $954,000 first prize takes him over the $20m career earnings for his career. He finished at 10-under 274 – and had a bit of a let-off when Heath Slocum missed a 4-foot par putt on the final hole which would have taken him into the play-off.
