CHIP BECK
Chip Beck is a player known for his contagious enthusiasm and positive attitude. Beck made his initial mark on the PGA Tour in 1988, recording his first two wins at the Los Angeles Open and USF&G; Classic. Chip maintained his excellent playing record, winning the 1990 Buick Open. However, it is not a PGA Tour Victory that made Chip Beck a legend in golf. In his third round at the Las Vegas Invitational in 1991, Chip recorded the second 59 in PGA Tour history and forever etched his name into the golf record books. In August 2003, Chip accomplished another historical feat. During the second round of the 2003 Omaha Classic, Chip shot the first ace on a par-4 hole on the Nationwide Tour.
Chip added his fourth career victory in 1992, with a win at the Freeport-McMoran Golf Classic. He followed with a stellar 1993 in which he finished second at the Masters and earned a Ryder Cup berth, the third of his career. He represented the United States well at the Belfry that year, beating Barry Lane in a singles match to help secure the Cup.
Chip is looking forward to making his Champions Tour debut in September of 2006. Until that time, Chip will continue to play competitively on both the PGA and Nationwide Tours. When Chip is not playing, he gives speeches and golf clinics at corporate outings and charity events throughout the country.
