Tom Weiskopf

Thomas Daniel Weiskopf, born November 9, 1942, is an American professional golfer who played on the PGA Tour and the Champions Tour. His most successful decade was the 1970s, winning 16 PGA Tour titles between 1968 and 1982.

Weiskopf's swing was much admired in the golf world. He hit the ball high, generated enormous power, and had very good control as well, a rare combination. Weiskopf's displays of temper on the golf course earned him the nickname of "The Towering Inferno". After winding down his tournament career, Weiskopf has become a noted golf course architect.

Tom Weiskopfgot into golf course design working initially with Jay Morrish but now has his own established practice. He has at least 40 courses to his credit in many parts of the world, including the Monument and Pinnacle courses at Troon North Golf Club in Scottsdale, Arizona; and Loch Lomond, the venue of the Scottish Open from 1995 to 2010. Many of Tom's courses and redevelopments have received considerable praise and are ranked highly in lists of top courses around the world.
