Thomas Daniel Weiskopf
(born November 9, 1942) is an American
professional golfer
who played on the
PGA Tour
and the
Champions Tour
. His most successful decade was the 1970s, and he won 16 PGA Tour titles between 1968 and 1982. After winding down his tournament career, Weiskopf has become a noted
golf course architect
.
Weiskopf was born in
Massillon, Ohio
. He attended
Benedictine High School
in Cleveland, and
Ohio State University
, where he played on the golf team. He turned professional in 1964.
Weiskopf's first win on the PGA Tour came at the
Andy Williams-San Diego Open Invitational
in 1968, and fifteen more followed by 1982. His career season was 1973, when he won seven tournaments around the world, including
The Open Championship
at
Royal Troon
,
[1]
[2]
and he would finish that year ranked second in the world according to
Mark McCormack's world golf rankings
. This was to remain his only
major championship
victory, but he was a four-time runner-up at
The Masters
and also had a T2 finish at the 1976
U.S. Open
.

Weiskopf won the
Canadian Open
in 1973 and 1975; the latter win was achieved in dramatic fashion, with a one-hole playoff win over archrival
Jack Nicklaus
, when Weiskopf nearly holed his approach on the 15th hole at the
Royal Montreal Golf Club
's Blue Course. Weiskopf was a member of the United States team in the 1973 and 1975
Ryder Cups
. He qualified as well for the 1977 team, but decided to skip the competition in order to go big-game hunting.

Weiskopf's swing was much admired in the golf world. He hit the ball high, generated enormous power and had very good control as well, a rare combination. Weiskopf's displays of temper on the golf course earned him the nickname of "The Towering Inferno".
Weiskopf joined the Senior PGA Tour in 1993 and won several senior tournaments, including one
senior major
, the 1995
U.S. Senior Open
.

covering the 1981 and 1985 to 1995 Masters. Since 2008, he has contributed to
ABC Sports
and
ESPN
's coverage of
The Open Championship
