Davis Love III has golf in his blood. His father was a longtime PGA professional and taught young Davis all the tricks of the trade.

He has been a professional golfer since 1985 and has won over $42 million in his career. He turns 50 next April and will join his buddies on the Champions Tour.

Love has 20 PGA Tour wins, 30 runner-up finishes and 176 Top-10 finishes in his 673 events played. He found a major championship win at in the 1997 PGA Championship held at Winged Foot.
