Paul Goydos Biography
Paul Goydos was born in Long Beach, California on 20th June 1964. He attended Woodrow Wilson Classical High School, Long Beach State University and turned pro in 1989.
Goydos started out as a struggling mini-tour player supplementing his income as a substitute teacher. In 1991 and 1992, he played on the Nationwide Tour, earning one victory at the 1992 Ben Hogan Yuma Open. He earned his PGA Tour card for 1993 by going through Qualifying School.
Goydos had his first PGA Tour win in 1996 at The Bay Hill Invitational. His second win was to come 11 years later at the 2007 Sony Open in Hawaii. This victory at the elevated Goydos into the top 50 of the Official World Golf Rankings.
He has amassed more than two dozen top-10 finishes and has more than five million dollars in career earnings. His best finish in a major was a T-12 at the 1999 U.S. Open. He had only two starts in 2004, both coming at the end of the year, because of sinus surgery and hip problems; he played in 2005 under a Major Medical Exemption.
In 2008 Goydos lost in a playoff at The Players Championship to Sergio GarcÃa when he put his tee shot on the par-3 17th (the first playoff hole) in the water.
