Corey Pavin
Residence: Dallas, Texas
DOB: 16/11/1959
Corey Pavin was born in Oxnard, California and attended UCLA. He turned professional in 1982 and quickly established himself in the sport, with three international victories in 1983, and his first PGA Tour victory at the 1984 Houston Coca-Cola Open.
He won at least one event on either the PGA Tour or the international tour nearly every year for the next decade, and topped the PGA's money list in 1991, when he was the last man to achieve this without winning at least one million dollars in prize money.
His success culminated in his only major victory, the 1995 U.S. Open. Rather than marking a move to a new level of achievement, however, this was soon followed by a long slide down the world rankings from a high ranking of 5th. After Pavin won the Colonial in 1996, he did not win another PGA tournament for ten years. His 89th place finish on the 2004 money list was the first time he had made the top one hundred since 1998. Pavin finally won his fifteenth career title in 2006 at the U.S. Bank Championship in Milwaukee, ending a streak of 242 consecutive tournaments without a win.
On July 27, 2006, during the first round of what would become his fifteenth tour title, Pavin broke the record for the fewest number of strokes needed to complete nine holes at a PGA Tour event, with an 8-under par score of 26.
His 36-hole total of 125 also tied the record for fewest shots taken in the first 36 holes of a PGA Tour event held by Tom Lehman, Mark Calcavecchia, and Tiger Woods.
The 2008 season started well with a tie for 3rd finish at the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am and finished in even better fashion as on December 11, 2008, Pavin was named captain for the 2010 Ryder Cup U.S. team by the PGA of America.
He has only made 3 cuts so far in 2009 with his best finish being a tie for 15th at the Mayakoba Golf Classic at Riviera Maya-Cancun.

Corey Pavin Tournament History
2009 Arnold Palmer Invitational |
26-29 March 2009 - Bay Hill Country Club and Lodge - This week marked the return of the Tiger Woods we all know and love. After 9 months out of action after re-constructive knew surgery - a birdie putt at the 72nd hole saw Tiger win as Bay Hill for a sixth time. Those familiar back-nine heroics and a putt that everyone knew he was going to drain saw the world number 1 come from 5 strokes back on the final day - equalling his career best comeback. This remarkable comeback must have been great to watch apart from the eyes of Sean O’Hair who Woods beat into second place. |
In Corey Pavin's bag...The newly appointed USA Ryder Cup Captain had an average week. Opening and closing rounds sandwiched level par 70’s. Corey needed to go just one or 2 better each time to really set the cat amongst the pigeons this week. The new American Ryder Cup Captain’s bag was snapped here in glorious sunshine. We can clearly see the new TaylorMade R9 taking pride of place in the centre of the bag. Corey’s fairways were TaylorMade Burners, one Tour Launch and one TP model. He was also carrying a TaylorMade Burner Rescue Tour Launch. His irons are the Burner Tour model - again from TaylorMade. We can just make out a Titleist 200 Series wedge poking out from behind the umbrella. Corey we believe is still using a Bulls Eye putter that was manufactured back in 1984!
