Curtis Northrup Strange (born January 30, 1955) is an Americanprofessional golfer and TVcolor commentator. He is the winner of consecutiveU.S. Open titles and a member of theWorld Golf Hall of Fame andVirginia Sports Hall of Fame. He spent over 200 weeks in the top-10 of theOfficial World Golf Ranking between their debut in 1986 and 1990.^[2]

Early life

[edit]

In 1955, Strange and his identical twin brother, Allan,^[3] were born inNorfolk, Virginia.^[4] Allan also briefly played as a professional golfer. His father, a local country club owner, started him in golf at age 7.^[3] Strange was a natural left-hander but learned to play golf as a right-hander.

In 1973, Strange graduated fromPrincess Anne High School inVirginia Beach.

Amateur career

[edit]

In the fall of 1973, Strange enrolled atWake Forest University inWinston-Salem, North Carolina. He played golf for theDemon Deacons and was part of theNCAA Championship team withJay Haas andBob Byman thatGolf World has labeled "the greatest of all time".^[5] In 1974 Strange was ranked the #2 amateur in the country byGolf Digest. The following year, he was ranked number #3.

In the spring of 1976, Strange intended to transition from amateur to professional despite still being a junior in college. At this point, he was known for having one of the best amateur careers of all time. According to the golf columnist forThe Charlotte Observer, Richard Sink, "Strange, only a junior, will leave behind a collegiate record perhaps unmatched." He finished in the top ten in all of his 25 college matches and finished in the top 5 in 21 of those. He won nine individual events and was the youngest NCAA Champion in golf at the time.^[6] In 1976, he was ranked #9 amateur in the country byGolf Digest.^[7]

Professional career

[edit]

In 1976, Strange turned professional. He attempted to make it onto the PGA Tour atFall 1976 PGA Tour Qualifying School. He was highly expected to make it into tour and was the favorite to earn medalist honors. However, Strange bogeyed the final three holes of the tournament to miss qualifying by a shot. Afterwards, Strange toldThe Item, "I thought it was the end of the world. It wasn't something I was ready for. I thought, 'Good God, what am I going to do.' I was scared."^[8]

Strange was one of the leading players on thePGA Tour in the 1980s; 16 of his 17 tour victories took place in that decade. He topped the money list in1985,1987, and1988, when he became the first to win a million dollars in official money in a season. His twomajors were consecutiveU.S. Opens in1988 and1989. SinceWorld War II, only three golfers have successfully defended their titles at the U.S. Open;Brooks Koepka in 2018, Strange in 1989, andBen Hogan in1951. The 1989 U.S. Open was Strange's last win on tour. In other majors, he led midway through the final round atThe Masters in1985, but finished two strokes back. Strange was also a runner-up at thePGA Championship in1989, one stroke back. He played on fiveRyder Cup teams (1983,1985,1987,1989, and1995) and captained the team in2002.^[3]

Despite skipping the Open Championship several times in his prime,^[9] Strange played a considerable amount of international tournaments. He won the 1986ABC Japan-U.S. Match, an event on theJapan Golf Tour that included many American pros. He also played extensively on theAustralasian Tour. He won three events in Australia in the late 1980s and early 1990s and recorded runner-up finishes at the 1976Australian Open,^[10] 1977Colgate Champion of Champions, 1986Air New Zealand Shell Open, and the 1990Daikyo Palm Meadows Cup.

Broadcasting career

[edit]

After reaching the age of 50 in January2005, Strange began play on theChampions Tour, remarking, "I was getting worse and said, 'To hell with it.'"^[11] His only top-five finishes came that first season; third place at theConstellation Energy Classic and a tie for fifth at theFedEx Kinko's Classic.^[3] In 1997, he was hired as the lead golf analyst forESPN/ABC, working alongside hostMike Tirico. He left due to a contract dispute before the 2004 U.S. Open, but rejoined ESPN/ABC at the 2008 U.S. Open, four years after he first left. In 2016, he was hired byFox as a course reporter for theirUSGA championships.^[12]

In this capacity he has provided commentary for several notable events, includingTiger Woods' playoff win at the 1997Mercedes Championships,David Duval's final round of 59 at the 1999Bob Hope Chrysler Classic,Jean van de Velde's collapse at the1999 Open Championship, Woods achieving the career grand slam at the2000 Open Championship,Peter Jacobsen becoming one of the oldest Tour winners at age 49 during the 2003Greater Hartford Open, Woods' U.S. Open winning performance in2008 (early rounds),Tom Watson nearly winningThe Open Championship at age 59 in2009, andPhil Mickelson's final nine charge to win in2013.
