Lee John Westwood OBE (born 24 April 1973) is an Englishprofessional golfer. Noted for his consistency, he is one of the few golfers who has won tournaments on five continents – Europe, North America, Asia, Africa and Oceania – including victories on theEuropean Tour and thePGA Tour. He has also won tournaments in four decades, the 1990s, 2000s, 2010s and 2020s. He was namedEuropean Tour Golfer of the Year for the 1998, 2000, 2009 and 2020 seasons. He has won the 2000European Tour Order of Merit, and the renamed 2009 and 2020 Race to Dubai. He has frequently been mentioned as one of the best golfers without amajor championship victory, with several near misses including three runner-up finishes.[3][4][5]
Westwood has represented Europe in tenRyder Cups. In October 2010, he became theworld number one in theOfficial World Golf Ranking, ending the reign ofTiger Woods, and becoming the first British golfer sinceNick Faldo in 1994 to hold that position. He held the number one position for a total of 22 weeks.[6] Westwood and fellow countrymanLuke Donald share the distinction of reaching the number one world ranking despite never winning a major. He holds the record of playing in the most major championships without winning one. He is sometimes referred to by his nicknameWesty.
Born inWorksop,Nottinghamshire, Westwood attended Sir Edmund Hillary Primary School andValley Comprehensive School (now anOutwood Grange Academies Trust school) in his youth.[7] He has family and heritage in South Wales. Westwood began to play golf aged 13 with a half set bought by grandparents. His father John, a mathematics teacher, took up the game at the same time to encourage his son. A talented sportsman at school, Lee playedrugby,cricket andfootball.
Westwood had a later start at the game than many future tournament professionals, but less than two years later he was the junior champion ofNottinghamshire. He played for England in the Boys Home Internationals in August 1989, and played for Great Britain and Ireland boys team in theJacques Léglise Trophy in both 1990 and 1991.[8][9][10] In 1991 he won his first important amateur tournament, the Peter McEvoy Trophy. In 1993 he won theBritish Youths Open Amateur Championship and turned professional.
In 1996, Westwood won his first professional tournament, theVolvo Scandinavian Masters, closely followed by theSumitomo Visa Taiheiyo Masters in Japan. His success continued in 1997, defending his Japanese title and winning theMalaysian Open, theVolvo Masters in Spain, and theHolden Australian Open, beatingGreg Norman in a playoff. He also partnered withNick Faldo in theRyder Cup that year.
Westwood has won 25 events on theEuropean Tour and has also won tournaments in North America, Africa, Asia and Australia. His most successful year to date has been 2000 when he won seven tournaments worldwide and was ranked first on theEuropean Order of Merit, endingColin Montgomerie's long run of European Tour dominance. His win on the Sunshine Tour's Dimension Data Pro-am in 2000 made him the first golfer to win events on all 6 of theInternational Federation of PGA Tours.Ernie Els (2005) andJustin Rose (2017) are the only golfers to have joined him on this list. Westwood took a significant break from the game following the birth of son Samuel Bevan in 2001, and together with a restructuring of his swing underDavid Leadbetter, led to him being out of contention in tournaments until his 2003 victory in Germany, his 25th worldwide.
Westwood returned to the winners circle in2007 by winning both theValle Romano Open de Andalucía and theQuinn Direct British Masters to bring his total European Tour wins to 18. As a result, he moved back into the top 50 of theOfficial World Golf Ranking. Westwood finished the 2007 season with five top 10 finishes in the last five events. He carried this form into the 2008 season, starting with two tied second places and a fifth, moving back into the top 20 in the world rankings.[11] At theMasters, Westwood finished tied for 11th and he narrowly missed out on becoming the first European in 38 years to win theU.S. Open, finishing 3rd on level-par.[12]
In 2009, Westwood had two further 3rd-place finishes at major championships, inthe Open and thePGA Championship. In October 2009, Westwood ended his two-year wait for a tournament win by winning thePortugal Masters.[13] This was followed the next month with a win at theDubai World Championship, which also brought with it the inauguralRace to Dubai title.[14]
Westwood has played in the Gary Player Invitational charity event several times to assist Player raise money for children in need around the world. Westwood earned a career-best second place at the2010 Masters Tournament, leading by one shot going into the final day before being overtaken by eventual championPhil Mickelson.[15] Westwood came through with his 2nd tour victory at theSt. Jude Classic the week before theU.S. Open.[16] Westwood claimed another second-place finish at the2010 Open Championship, although he was a distant runner-up toLouis Oosthuizen. Despite the two 2nd-place finishes at the season's first three majors, Westwood did not compete in the PGA Championship due to injury.
In May 2011, Westwood contested a playoff at theBMW PGA Championship with fellow Englishman and at the time world number twoLuke Donald. On the par five 18th, Donald hit his approach shot into the green leaving six feet for birdie. Westwood attempted to follow him in close to the hole but got too much backspin on his pitch and the ball spun back into the water hazard. Westwood eventually chipped up from the drop zone and went on to make double bogey. Donald then holed his birdie putt to win the championship and in the process became the new world number one.[17]
In June 2011, Westwood equalled his best performance at the U.S. Open finishing in a tie for third place atCongressional CC, an event which was dominated byRory McIlroy. This was the fourth time in his career that Westwood had finished third in a major. In December 2011, Westwood shot the lowest round of his career, a 60, at theThailand Golf Championship.[18] He followed that up with a 64 to equal the lowest 36-hole total on theAsian Tour[19] and won the tournament by seven shots.[20]
Westwood rejoined thePGA Tour for the 2012 season, stating that "It felt right in a Ryder Cup year" and intimated that he would like to experience the challenge for theFedEx Cup in the end of season playoffs for the first time. In February 2012, Westwood recorded his best ever performance at theWGC-Accenture Match Play Championship when he reached the semi-finals for the first time. In all eleven previous attempts he had never once made it past the second round. He beatNicolas Colsaerts,Robert Karlsson,Nick Watney andMartin Laird en route before falling, 3&1, toRory McIlroy in the semi-finals. He finished in 4th place after losing the consolation match to AmericanMark Wilson, 1 up.[21] Had he won the tournament, he would have regained the number one ranking.
Westwood continued his fine run of performances in the major championships with a tied third finish at theMasters in April 2012. He finished two strokes behindBubba Watson andLouis Oosthuizen and bemoaned his putting performance as the reason he did not win the tournament.[22] This was the seventh occasion that he had recorded a top three finish at a major without actually winning one. In April 2012, he successfully defended his title at theIndonesian Masters on theAsian Tour, winning by two strokes. In June 2012, Westwood won theNordea Masters for the third time, the week prior to the U.S Open, with a five stroke victory overRoss Fisher. This was Westwood's 22nd victory on theEuropean Tour and moved him into ninth place alone on the all time European Tour winners list.[23]
At the2012 U.S. Open, Westwood was in contention again after firing a three-under-par round of 67 in the third round to position himself three strokes behind the leaders. During the final round, Westwood lost his ball in a tree on the par-four fifth hole after his drive clattered into the pines. The ball was declared lost and he had to play his third shot from the tee, resulting in a double-bogey six which effectively ended his challenge. He finished in a tie for 10th.
In the2013 Open Championship, Westwood led after 54 holes by two strokes overHunter Mahan andTiger Woods. They were the only three players in the field under par for the tournament. Westwood shot a four-over-par 75 in his final round to finish in a tie for third, four strokes back at one-over-par.Phil Mickelson went on to win the tournament with a total of three-under-par, the only player to complete the tournament under par. This was the second time Westwood had taken the lead into the final round of a major championship, with the other being in the2010 Masters, which Mickelson also won. Westwood has now finished in the top-three eight times in majors without ever winning one.
In April 2015, Westwood won theCIMB Niaga Indonesian Masters for the third time in his career. He won in a sudden-death playoff overChapchai Nirat, having held a five-stroke lead at the 54-hole stage. This was Westwood's ninth victory in Asian Tour events.
At the2016 Masters, Westwood finished joint runner-up withJordan Spieth, three strokes behind winnerDanny Willett. He was briefly only one stroke off the lead during the final round following an eagle on the par five 15th, but bogeyed the 16th to end his chances. This was the third time Westwood has finished as runner-up in a major championship. At the2016 U.S. Open, Westwood was again near the top of the leaderboard after the first three rounds, but playing in the penultimate group during the final round he fell away badly shooting a round 80 (+10) to finish T32.
Westwood holds the record for most major championship appearances without winning, surpassingJay Haas at the2021 Open Championship, his 88th major.[24]
In an interview with CNN in November 2017, Westwood spoke of his desire to go into the golf course design industry once he had finished playing, saying he would vow to make courses "more playable and enjoyable".[25]
On 11 November 2018, Westwood fired an eight-under 64 to storm to a three-shot victory in theNedbank Golf Challenge. Westwood's win inSun City, South Africa claimed his 24thEuropean Tour victory and his first since the 2014Malaysian Open.[26] The victory was worth $1,250,000.[27] The Nedbank was his firstRolex Series title and third victory atGary Player Country Club following wins in 2010 and 2011 before the tournament joined theEuropean Tour international schedule. He also won theDimension Data Pro-Am in 2000 also played at the Gary Player Country Club.[28]
In July 2019, Westwood finished tied for fourth in the 2019Open Championship atRoyal Portrush Golf Club in Northern Ireland. He has now finished 12 times in the top five of a major without actually winning. This was his best finish at the Open since 2013 and it earned him entry into the 2020Masters Tournament. "It's brilliant," said Westwood. "Augusta is a very special place. I've played great there in the past and had a chance to win it. It is another course likeRoyal Portrush Golf Club that I don't strictly think is a bomber's paradise, although I think it helps. If you've played it a lot and you play it well, there are a lot of repeat winners. It will be lovely to go back."[29]
In January 2020, Westwood won theAbu Dhabi HSBC Championship on the European Tour. This tournament was part of the Rolex Series. This win meant he had won titles in four different decades on the European Tour. Westwood finished on 19 under par, two shots ahead ofTommy Fleetwood,Matt Fitzpatrick andVictor Perez. The 46-year-old shot a five-under-par 67 at the Abu Dhabi Golf Club to win the event for the first time.[30] In December of that year, Westwood claimed his thirdRace to Dubai by finishing solo second in the season-endingDP World Tour Championship, Dubai. At 47 years of age, he became the oldest winner of the title.[31]
In March 2021, Westwood held the 54-hole lead at theArnold Palmer Invitational. He eventually missed out by one shot toBryson DeChambeau. This was his best result on the PGA Tour since his tied for second place at the 2016 Masters.[32] The following week, Westwood again held the 54-hole lead at a PGA Tour event;The Players Championship. He shot an even-par 72 and finished second by one shot to eventual championJustin Thomas. He won more than $1.6 million for this finish, the largest official cheque of his career to date.[33]
In June 2022, Westwood was suspended from the PGA Tour for playing in aLIV Golf event.[34] In May 2023, the European Tour announced that he had resigned his membership of the tour.[35]
In April 2023, Westwood turned 50 and became age eligible for senior golf. He applied for entry to the2023 Senior Open Championship, to be played in late July and for which he had fulfilled several exemption categories. However, in June he was denied entry due to outstanding fines to the European Tour, related to breaching conflicting tournament regulations.[36]
Westwood first reached the top 10 in theOfficial World Golf Ranking in July 1998[37] and spent a total of 160 weeks in the top 10 between then and August 2001.[38]
Westwood dropped out of top 100 in mid-2002. Returning to the top 100 in late 2003, Westwood's ranking remained in the 20 to 80 range from 2004 and 2007. Early in 2008 he returned to the top 20 where he has remained since. He returned to the top 10 briefly at the end of the 2008 season and again after the2009 PGA Championship.[39]
On 31 October 2010, Westwood became theWorld number one golfer, ending the reign ofTiger Woods.[40][41] He remainedWorld number one for 17 weeks,[42] before being replaced byMartin Kaymer who held the top spot for 8 weeks. Westwood regained the number one spot after winning theIndonesian Masters on 24 April 2011[43] and held it for 5 weeks before being replaced byLuke Donald. He spentover 350 weeks in the top-10.[44]
Westwood made his Ryder Cup debut in1997 where he partnered fellow EnglishmanNick Faldo in both sets offourballs andfoursomes. In the1999 Ryder Cup, he partneredDarren Clarke for the fourballs and foursomes, picking up 2 points. AtThe Belfry in2002 he teamed up withSergio García in a successful partnership in which they won 3 and lost 1 of their four matches.
In the2004 Ryder Cup, Westwood sank the putt which took Europe's points tally to 14 and thereby ensured that they retained the Cup. Europe eventually won 18½–9½. It was his first victory in singles. He andDarren Clarke were the wildcard selections in2006[45] and Westwood justified his selection by not losing a game, a feat he had also achieved in 2004. He is the eighth most successful European golfer on points scored, with the second highest scoring rate.[46]
During the2008 Matches, Westwood sat out for the first session in his Ryder Cup career during the matches after a controversial decision by captainNick Faldo. The European Team ended up losing to the U.S. 16½–11½.[47] In October 2010, Westwood was a member of the European team that won the2010 Ryder Cup with a one-point win over the USA.[48]
For the 2012 and 2014 tournaments, Westwood was once again a member of winning teams, with Europe beating USA atMedinah Country Club andGleneagles.[49] In 2016, his friend Darren Clarke was captain and he was once again chosen as a wildcard, this time part of a losing team for the first time since 2008.[50]
In 2018,Thomas Bjørn selected Westwood as one of his five vice-captains for the2018 Ryder Cup atLe Golf National, alongsideGraeme McDowell,Luke Donald,Pádraig Harrington andRobert Karlsson.[51]
In September 2021, Westwood played on the European team in the2021 Ryder Cup atWhistling Straits inKohler, Wisconsin. The U.S. team won 19–9 and Westwood went 1–2–0 including a win in his Sunday singles match againstHarris English.
He is the European player who has the greatest number of appearances in Ryder Cup winning teams (7 wins, 4 losses).
Westwood married Laurae Coltart, the sister of Scottish Ryder Cup playerAndrew Coltart,[53] in January 1999. The couple have two children, Samuel Bevan and Poppy Grace. The two divorced in 2017. After his divorce, Westwood moved back to Europe from his residence inPalm Beach Gardens,Florida. Westwood now lives inJesmond,Newcastle upon Tyne with his wife, Helen Storey, who also caddies for him on tour.[54] The pair married in Las Vegas in June 2021.[55]
He is good friends with fellow Ryder Cup starDarren Clarke and from April 2006 he co-owned a private jet with him.[56]
In 2007, Westwood was presented with an Honorary degree ofDoctor of Science byNottingham Trent University.[57] The University named its sports hall after the golfer in October 2010.[57] He announced the creation of theLee Westwood Golf School in 2010, which offers young golfers the ability to combine golf training with their education as part of their school life. In addition, since 2010 Westwood has created a Junior Lee Westwood Golf Tour and Lee Westwood Golf Camps.[58] In recognition of his work with young golfers, he was awarded with the Golf Foundation's 'Spirit of Golf' Award just before the Open Championship, an award which was previously held byGary Player andTony Jacklin.[59]
Westwood's major passion is horse racing, in which he has had an interest in several successful horses, including Hoof It which won the Stewards Cup twice. Other interests include films, snooker and cars. He is a keen football fan who supportsNottingham Forest. He also supports and sponsors his local semi professional side Worksop Town FC.[60] Westwood is a follower ofDumfries based football clubQueen of the South,[61] most likely due to havingAndrew Coltart as a former brother-in-law, who himself is a passionate supporter of the Scottish club.[62]
Westwood was appointedOfficer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the2011 Birthday Honours.[63]
