Thomas Sturges Watson
(born September 4, 1949) is an American
professional golfer
on the
PGA Tour Champions
, formerly on the
PGA Tour
.
In the 1970s and 1980s, Watson was one of the leading golf players in the world, winning eight
major championships
and heading the PGA Tour money list five times. He was the number one player in the world according to
McCormack's World Golf Rankings
from 1978 until 1982; in both 1983 and 1984, he was ranked second behind
Seve Ballesteros
. He also spent 32 weeks in the top 10 of the successor
Sony Rankings
in their debut in 1986.
[2]
Watson is also notable for his longevity: at nearly sixty years of age, and 26 years after his last major championship victory, he led after the second and third rounds of
The Open Championship
in
2009
, but lost in a four-hole playoff. With a chance to win the tournament with par on the 72nd hole, he missed an 8-foot (2.4 m) putt, then lost to
Stewart Cink
in the playoff.
Several of Watson's major victories came at the expense of
Jack Nicklaus
, the man he replaced as number one, most notably the
1977 Masters
,
1977 Open Championship
, and the
1982 U.S. Open
. Though his rivalry with Nicklaus was intense, their friendly competitiveness served to increase golf's popularity at the time.
In Watson's illustrious career, his eight
major championships
include five
Open Championships
,
[3]
two
Masters
titles, and one
U.S. Open
title. The only major that has eluded him is the
PGA Championship
; if he had won it would have put him in an elite group of golfing "career
grand slam
" winners that includes
Gene Sarazen
,
Ben Hogan
,
Gary Player
,
Jack Nicklaus
, and
Tiger Woods
. In all, Watson's eight majors ranks sixth on the
list of total major championship victories
, behind only Nicklaus, Woods,
Walter Hagen
, Hogan, and Player.
Watson is also regarded as one of the greatest
links
players of all time, a claim backed up by his five
Open Championship
victories, his runner-up finishes at the
1984 Open Championship
and
2009 Open Championship
, and his three
Senior British Open Championship
titles in his mid-50s (
2003
, 2005, and 2007).
Watson played on four
Ryder Cup
teams and captained the American side to victory in
1993
at
The Belfry
in England. More than twenty years later, Watson again captained the U.S. Team in
2014
in Scotland, this time in a loss

Shipping and Packaging details: I ship everything with cardboard backing. Additionally, I slip all autographed photos inside sturdy photo-protective sleeves. Payment details: Typically, I ship paypal payments right away. PAYPAL is recommended. International shipping will be higher as all international orders go through the Global Shipping program.  How I obtained my autographs, and why I promise a FULL MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE: As a kid, from roughly the years 1965 to 1973, and later from 1974-the present, I have amassed an enormous collection of autographed sports and celebrity memorabilia. In most cases, using Jack Smalling's baseball address lists and other assorted address lists, I wrote to both active and retired baseball players, sending them letters, requests for signatures, and self-addressed-stamped envelopes. This is how I obtained thousands of autographs. I also obtained many autographs in person at area parks and hotels.In the 1980's and 1990's, I travelled the country doing shows (20 National Conventions) and would buy quantities of autographs through player signings. I have every reason to believe that all of the autographs I'm selling are absolutely authentic. I stand by every item I sell. Upon purchasing an item from me through eBay, you may return that item, in the condition in which I shipped it to you, within 14 days of receipt of that item if you are not satisfied with the item.   I am selling each item "as is", per the guarantee I've promised above. All the old time autograph dealers know me and the professional authenticators will vouch for my reputation as well. I do this on a part time basis, so sometimes emails take a day. I have worked hard for my feedback rating. The last thing I want to do is damage my credibility, so if you have legitimate concerns about any item you win from me on eBay, I'll make every effort to remedy the situation to your satisfaction. PLEASE NOTE: Most items come with certificates of authenticity from outside companies (JSA and PSA predominantly; they are the best). I have spent lots of money with third party authenticators and have had very few come back without passing. Sincerely, Joe Binder , Downers Grove, Illinois
