Chris Kirk

Chris Kirk lifted his fifth PGA Tour title at the 2023 Honda Classic, beating Eric Cole with a birdie on the first play-off hole, and began the following year with a stunning 29 under par performance to take The Sentry tournament in Hawaii.

The victory saw him leap from 52nd in the world to 21st - only five places lower than his highest ranking to date back in 2015.

He played in the Presidents Cup that year, having previously represented his country at the 2006 Eisenhower Trophy World Amateur Team Championship and the 2007 Walker Cup at Royal County Down in Northern Ireland, where his teammates included Dustin Johnson, Rickie Fowler, Webb Simpson and Billy Horschel.

Kirk has enjoyed victories the 2011 Viking Classic, 2013 McGladrey Classic, 2014 Deutsche Bank Championship and 2015 Crowne Plaza Invitational and his best major finish came at the 2022 PGA Championship, a tie for fifth only two strokes behind play-off pair Justin Thomas and Will Zalatoris.

His major debut came at the 2008 US Open.
