Jeffrey
George Sluman (born September
11, 1957) is an American professional golfer who
has won numerous professional golf tournaments including six PGA Tour victories. Sluman has had an unusual career in
terms of winning golf tournaments. During what are usually considered a golfers
most productive years – their early twenties through their middle thirties –
Sluman won only once. At the age of 30, he won the 1988 PGA Championship.
Then, shortly before his 40th birthday, he started winning consistently on
the Tour and in non-Tour events. After winning the 1997 Tucson Chrysler Classic,
he won seven more events including four on the PGA Tour during the next seven
seasons. Sluman's best season was in 2002 when he finished the year ranked 15th
on the PGA Tour with $2,250,187 in earnings. Despite his rather unusual
sequence in respect to tournament wins, Sluman has been one of the Tour's most
consistent top 10 finishers throughout his career; his regular career earnings
exceeded 18 million dollars.The 1988 PGA Championship was
played at the Oak Tree Golf Club in Edmond, Oklahoma. Sluman won the tournament by three strokes
over Paul Azinger, shooting a
total of 272. On the final day, Sluman took command of the tournament with a
round of 65 that tied David Graham's 1979 mark
as the lowest winning round in PGA history. Upon
turning 50 in September 2007, Sluman joined the Champions Tour. He won his first tournament in June 2008,
the Bank of America
Championship and he also won the First Tee Open in 2008, 2009, and 2011. When
Sluman won 1988 PGA Championship, Ping recognized him with a golden putter as a replica of
the Ping PAL 2 he used to win. A second one was made and place in the Ping Gold putter vault. During
the first round of the 1992 Masters, Sluman made
history when he recorded a hole-in-one on the fourth hole. To date, this is the only
time the fourth hole has been aced at the Masters.[6]
