Joseph Paul Sindelar (born March 30, 1958) is an American professional golfer who currently plays on the PGA Tour Champions. He previously played on the PGA Tour, where he won seven tournaments between 1985-2004.
Early life
Sindelar was born in Fort Knox, Kentucky, while his father was serving in the Army, but lived in Horseheads, New York for most of his life. He was a childhood friend and high school golf rival of fellow PGA Tour player Mike Hulbert.
College career
Sindelar attended Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio, where he was a distinguished member of the school's golf team. He was a three-time All-American, member of the 1979 NCAA Championship team, and Ohio State's Athlete of the Year in 1981. Sindelar was inducted into the Ohio State Varsity O Hall of Fame in 1992.
Professional career
Sindelar turned pro in 1981. He won seven PGA Tour events, and was one of the most consistent players on the Tour with more than 80 top-10 finishes in his career. Sindelar played on the 1991 World Cup team. His best finish in a major was T6 at the 1992 U.S. Open.[2] In 1988, Sindelar had ten top-10 finishes, including two victories: The International and the Honda Classic. In 2006, he scored a double eagle at the PGA Championship — only the third time such a score had been recorded in that competition's history.[3]
Since turning 50 in March 2008, Sindelar has played on the Champions Tour. He has over 30 top-10 finishes, including four second-place finishes with a playoff loss at the 2010 Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf.
Sindelar currently resides in Lansing, New York.[4] His son, Jamie, is also a professional golfer.
