Duval went from a perennial also-ran to one of the golf world's elite players in short order. After coming in second repeatedly, he broke through with his first win at the Michelob Championship in 1997 and hasn't looked back. Duval set a record for rookie earnings in 1995. He was the Collegiate Player of the Year and won the Dave Williams Award in 1993. He set a record in 1998 with nearly $2.6 million in earnings, and recorded four victories.
