Raymond Loran Floyd (born September 4, 1942) is an American retiredprofessional golfer who has won numerous tournaments on both thePGA Tour andSenior PGA Tour, including fourmajors and foursenior majors. He was inducted into theWorld Golf Hall of Fame in 1989.

Early life and amateur career

[edit]

Floyd was born on September 4, 1942, inFort Bragg,North Carolina, and was raised inFayetteville. Floyd's father L.B. had a 21-year career in theU.S. Army, much of it at Fort Bragg as the golf pro at its enlisted-men's course. He also owned a nearby driving range where Raymond and younger sister Marlene, a futureLPGA Tour pro, honed their games. From an early age, Floyd could play equally well left-handed, and used his skills to enhance his allowance, winning money from soldiers on the course, as well as civilians in nearby towns.^[2]

Floyd graduated from Fayetteville High School (now namedTerry Sanford High School) in 1960. Skilled ingolf andbaseball, he had an offer to pitch in theCleveland Indians organization, but chose to attend theUniversity of North Carolina inChapel Hill, but only stayed for a semester.^[2]

Professional career

[edit]

After leaving college, Floyd turned professional in 1961, and quickly established himself on the PGA Tour. His first victory came two years later at age 20 in March1963 inFlorida, winning $3,500 at theSt. Petersburg Open Invitational,^[5] the first of his 22 wins on the PGA Tour, including fourmajor championships.

Floyd won his first major title six years later at thePGA Championship in1969,^[6] and the second came in1976 atThe Masters, by an eight-stroke margin and was wonwire-to-wire.^[7] He won his second PGA Championship in1982, after shooting a brilliant opening round of 63 in sweltering hot conditions atSouthern Hills Country Club.^[8] Floyd's round of 63 was the lowest round in a major championship until 2017.^[9] Floyd finished1982 ranked second inMark McCormack's world golf rankings, behind onlyTom Watson, who had won two majors that season; had those rankings been calculated over just two seasons, on a par with the system in place at the end of 2012, Floyd would have been ranked world number one in 1982, as he had earned more points from all events in total than Watson in both 1981 and 1982.^{[citation needed]}

Floyd's fourth and final major title came at theU.S. Open in1986 atShinnecock Hills.^[10] After three rounds, he was tied for fifth place, three shots behind leaderGreg Norman,^[11] who held the 54-hole lead at all four majors in1986. Norman faltered on Sunday with a 75 (+5), but Floyd shot 66 to win by two strokes and became the then-oldest U.S. Open champion by a few months at 43 years and 9 months.^[10]^[12] (The record wasTed Ray's since1920, and is now held byHale Irwin, a champion at age 45 in1990.)^[13]

The one major title that eluded Floyd, which prevented him from completing the careergrand slam, wasThe Open Championship. His best result was in1978 atSt Andrews; he tied for second place, behind three-time winnerJack Nicklaus.

Floyd came very close to winning a second Green Jacket at the1990 Masters, where he lost in a playoff toNick Faldo.^[14] On the second playoff hole, Floyd pulled a 7-iron shot into the pond left of the 11th green.^[15] Afterward, he said, "This is the most devastating thing that's ever happened to me in my career. I've had a lot of losses, but nothing like this."^[16]^[17]

In1992, Floyd again finished runner-up at The Masters, two strokes behind the winnerFred Couples. Floyd's final win on the PGA Tour came at theDoral-Ryder Open in1992 at age 49, making him one of the oldest players to win a PGA Tour event. The Doral-Ryder Open victory also gave him the distinction of winning PGA Tour events in four decades, joiningSam Snead as the second player to achieve that feat.^[18] Floyd also won on the Senior PGA Tour (nowPGA Tour Champions) laterthat season, making him the first player to win on both tours in the same year.

At the end of1992, Floyd was ranked 14th on theOfficial World Golf Ranking at the age of 50, one of the highest positions ever attained by a player of that age. Floyd's successful run continued on the Senior Tour, with 14 wins between 1992 and2000, including foursenior majors and twoSenior Tour Championships.

In addition to Floyd's victories on the PGA and Champions Tours, he won at least 24 additional tournaments around the world, taking his total victory tally to at least 60 events. While active, Floyd was considered by most golf experts to be the best at chipping the golf ball. He holed many shots from just off the green, the most famous may have been at theDoral-Eastern Open in1980, where his successful birdie chip on the second hole of asudden-death playoff defeated Jack Nicklaus.^[19]^[20]

On his decision to continue playing professional golf on the Senior Tour, Floyd spoke withGolf Digest and mused aloud: "Why do I enjoy golf after 31 years, going out there and doing things that are necessary to be competitive—having practice, having to work, having to dedicate yourself? I guess it comes down to the competition. My personality...I'm not going to play if I'm not competitive."^[21]

Floyd won theVardon Trophy for lowest scoring average on thePGA Tour in1983 and played for the U.S. on eightRyder Cup teams (1969,1975,1977,1981,1983,1985,1991, and1993).

Floyd was inducted into theWorld Golf Hall of Fame in 1989. He captained the U.S. Ryder Cup team atThe Belfry inEngland in1989. At a gala dinner held before the start of the matches, Floyd famously introduced his American side as "The 12 greatest players in the world."^[22]^[23] This irritated European player Nick Faldo of England, who later said that he felt Floyd's comment was inappropriate.^[24]

Floyd was an assistant Ryder Cup captain in2008. On the eve of the Masters in2010, Floyd announced his retirement from competitive golf.^[25] He was the honoree at Nicklaus'Memorial Tournament in2013.^[26]
