Stuart Appleby


Residence: Orlando, Florida
DOB: 05/01/1971 		As of May 2007, Appleby is 20th in the World Golf Rankings with a decent start to the year having finished 2nd at the Shell Houston Open and 7th in the Masters at Augusta National. Brought up in rural northern Australia, by 18 he was playing junior golf for Victoria State and turned professional in 1992 - starting on the PGA Tour of Australasia. In 1995 he qualified for the US PGA Tour and in 1997 he posted his first victory at the Honda Classic. Tragedy struck in 1998 when Appleby's first wife was killed in a freak accident outside a train station in London but he somehow bounced back to win the 1998 Kemper Open. Since then, he has won seven more tournaments – two of them in 2006 - the Mercedes Championships and the Shell Houston Open which saw him finish the year 8th on the money list. Our biog photo of Appleby was taken at the World Golf Championships at Doral in March 2007.

 2007  World Golf Championships - CA – Doral

Tiger Woods bagged another $1.35m for his two-shot win over Ryder Cup team mate Brett Wetterich at the Blue Monster Course at the Doral Resort in Miami, Florida between 22nd-25th March 2007. No one ever got closer than three shots to Tiger on the final afternoon. The World Golf Championships are played over five continents – and feature the top 50 players from the Official World Golf Rankings along with top finishers on the money lists of six Tours comprising the International Federation of PGA Tours (PGA TOUR, European Tour, Australasian Tour, Japan Golf Tour, Asian Tour and Southern Africa Tour). The formats vary - match play, strokeplay and team - but the purses are always big! The WGC CA Championship is the fifth tournament Woods has won at least three times in a row.
