Tim Herron


Residence: Scottsdale, Arizona
DOB: 06/02/1970
Nicknamed ‘Lumpy’ – will leave it to you to work out why from our biog photo - Tim Herron’s father played in the US Open in 1963 – as did his grandfather in 1934 – so quite a pedigree. Tim was a member of the 1993 US Walker Cup Team before turning professional the same year. His early career got off to a good start when he won the Honda Classic in 1996 – and he also won the Bay Hill Invitational in 1999. But there was a seven year winning drought before his next win in 2006 when he beat Richard S. Johnson in a play-off at the Bank of America Colonial, picking up over $1m in prize money for his week’s work. This win saw him ending 2006 in the Top 40 on the US Tour and in the top 50 of the Official World Golf Rankings. Our biog photo was taken in March 2007 at PODS Championship at the Innisbrook Resort in Florida which was won by 1998 Open Champion Mark Calcavecchia. Tim finished tied 38th.

 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.


In Tim Herron's bag...
Interesting to see Tim using a set of Ping Eye 2s - the design of which is about as old as he is. Apparently he gets a new set every year. These are red dot - which is one degree flat. You can just about see his wedges at the front - a Titleist Vokey 200 Gun Metal 54 degree and he also uses a Cleveland Tour Action 900 60 degree. The headcovers hide a TaylorMade r7 425 TP 9.5 degree driver, a TaylorMade 16 degree Rescue Mid and the older Ping ISI Tec 14 degree 3 wood. The putter is the same as Tiger's - a Scotty Cameron Newport 2
