Brett Quigley
PGA Champions Winner/ Fox Sports On Course Reporter
Brett talks about growing up in Fort Devens, MA, the golfers in that area and being the nephew of PGA Pro Dana Quigley. He talks about his high school days and how a basketball coach gave him the fire to be a pro golfer.
He recalls the US Junior Amateur he won in 1987, what his college recruitment was like and the decision to attend South Carolina upset a family member for a week. The early struggles of being a pro, all the stops along the way that led him to a great year in 2006. We learn the real reason why he turned down the invite to play in The Open Championship after earning the spot from the John Deere Classic in 2009.
We discuss all the injuries he has had that include a torn meniscus in each knee, an un-diagnosed injury to his left leg and three fractured vertebrae. What it is like to be an on-course reporter for Fox Sports, the equipment they wear and a few insights to the position.
Brett talks about not only winning the Morocco Champions event in February but how he got in and the story of his caddie go along with the thought process of the last hole. We sum up what is next for him on the Champions Tour in 2020.
