Hale Irwin has been a major force on the PGA and Senior PGA Tour for 30 years. He owns three U.S. Open titles and is one of only 32 players in PGA history with 20 or more career victories. At age 45, he became the oldest player to win the U.S. Open. In 1995, he carried nearly three decades of success on the PGA Tour over to the Senior PGA Tour with instant results. Last year, he became the first player in half a century to capture three consecutive Senior Tour Championships, and only the fourth player in tour history to win the same event three straight times. Today, Irwin is regarded as the premier player on the Senior Tour. Robin McMillian is Editor-in-Chief at Golf Magazine Properties.
