Bubba Watson attended the University of Georgia and played golf for the Bulldogs, earning All-American honors before turning professional in 2003. His first PGA victory was the 2010 Travelers Championship.
Watson's game is characterized by his prodigious length off the tee and his ability to shape shots in unconventional ways. He is known for his remarkable shot-making skills, often executing high-risk, high-reward shots that few other players would attempt. This fearless approach to the game has endeared him to fans and earned him the nickname "Bubba Golf."
The pinnacle of Watson's career came with his victories at the Masters Tournament in 2012 and 2014. His first Masters win in 2012 was particularly memorable, as he secured the green jacket with a dramatic playoff victory over Louis Oosthuizen, capped off by a remarkable hooked wedge shot from the trees on the 10th hole.
Off the course, Watson is known for his philanthropy and his passion for giving back to the community. He and his wife, Angie, have been involved in various charitable endeavors, including supporting children's hospitals and other causes through the Bubba Watson Foundation.
