Paul McGinley

Background

Irish-born Paul McGinley had a bright future ahead of him in Gaelic football, until a broken knee cap ended his career at the age of 19. Paul turned to his other love, golf, and the rest is history.

Paul played in the 1991 Walker Cup – helping Liam White beat Phil Mickelson and Bob May – then gained his card on his first visit to qualifying school later that year.

Paul achieved his place in golfing folklore by holing the winning putt on his Ryder Cup debut in 2002. He also went on to represent European in 2004 and 2006, making him the first European golfer to be a winner in every one of his three appearances.

Once again Paul showed his skills at team golf when he led the Great Britain and Ireland team to victory in the 2009 Vivendi Trophy with Seve Ballesteros (being his first experience of captaincy, receiving praise across the board) and again in the 2011 Vivendi Seve Trophy. He has always been passionate about the team format – a point that was recognised by Colin Montgomerie, who named him as one of his Vice Captains for the Ryder Cup at the Celtic Manor Resort. Whether it is the Ryder Cup, the Vivendi Seve Trophy, the World Cup or the Royal Trophy, Paul has been on a winning team.

Paul’s best year came in 2005, during which he finished runner-up three times before concluding with a victory in the Volvo Masters at Valderrama.
