Mar. 17, 1999
Davis Love III
Love possesses so much talent, it was little wonder that he was all but expected to win and win a lot from the time he first joined the professional ranks. Love comes from a golfing family and is the product of his late father's teaching and guidance. His length is monumental and his iron play can be remarkably precise. Love's PGA Championship victory at Winged Foot in 1997 was heralded by a giant rainbow making it one of golf's most memorable finishes. He earned his first PGA Tour title at the 1987 MCI Heritage Classic which he has since won numerous times.
