'''Ian Harold Woosnam''' (born 2 March 1958) is a [[Wales|Welsh]] [[professional golfer]]. Nicknamed "'''Woosie'''", Woosnam was one of the "Big Five" generation of European golfers, all born within 12 months of one another, all of whom have won [[Men's major golf championships|majors]], and made Europe competitive in the [[Ryder Cup]]. His peers in this group were [[Seve Ballesteros]], [[Nick Faldo]], [[Bernhard Langer]], and [[Sandy Lyle]].<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/golf/europeantour/2404697/In-the-footsteps-of-the-famous-five.html |title=In the footsteps of the famous five |work=The Daily Telegraph |location=UK |date=25 May 2003 |access-date=18 August 2009 |first=Mark |last=Reason}}</ref> Woosnam's major championship win was at the 1991 [[Masters Tournament]]. He was inducted into the [[World Golf Hall of Fame]] in 2017.<ref>{{cite magazine |last=Babineau |first=Jeff |title=Mallon, Woosnam, Love, Ochoa, Longhurst enter World Golf Hall of Fame |magazine=Golfweek |date=2017-09-27 |url=https://golfweek.usatoday.com/story/sports/golf/2017/09/26/love-woosnam-mallon-ochoa-longhurst-enter-world-golf-hall-of-fame/76636863007/ |access-date=2025-06-04}}</ref>

==Early life==
Woosnam was born in the town of [[Oswestry]], [[Shropshire]] in [[England]], and his family lived in the nearby village of [[St Martin's, Shropshire|St Martin's]] in Shropshire.

==Amateur career==
Woosnam started playing at the [[Llanymynech Golf Club]], which straddles the Wales-England border.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/wales/mid/halloffame/sport/ianwoosnam.shtml |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20031203074915/http://www.bbc.co.uk/wales/mid/halloffame/sport/ianwoosnam.shtml |url-status=dead |archive-date=3 December 2003 |title=Ian Woosnam |work=BBC Wales |access-date=18 August 2009}}</ref> He is short for a male golfer at {{height|m=1.64}}, but he is a powerful hitter. He played as an amateur in regional competitions in the English county of [[Shropshire]] alongside Sandy Lyle.

== Professional career ==
Woosnam turned professional in 1976 and first played the [[European Tour]] in 1979. Woosnam spent his early years on Tour driving around the continent in a camper van, living on a diet of baked beans to save money.<ref name="news.bbc.co.uk">{{cite news| url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/golf/5231248.stm |work=BBC Sport | title=Ian Woosnam – captain | date=18 September 2006}}</ref> After three modest seasons, his career took off in 1982 when he won the [[Swiss Open]] and came eighth on the Order of Merit (prize money list). He also finished in the top ten on the Order of Merit every year from 1983 to 1991 and again in 1993, 1996, and 1997, making thirteen times in all. In 1987 and 1990 he was first, and in the former year he set a world record for global tournament earnings of £1,062,662. He has won 28 official money events on the European Tour and many other events around the world.

Woosnam placed third in the [[1986 Open Championship]].<ref>{{cite web | title=115th Open Turnberry 1986 | website=The Open | date=2021-02-08 | url=https://www.theopen.com/previous-opens/115th-open-turnberry-1986 | access-date=2025-05-30}}</ref> In 1987, Woosnam was criticised by [[Anti-Apartheid Movement|anti-apartheid]] campaigners for playing a tournament in [[Sun City, North West|Sun City]] in [[apartheid]] South Africa, in contravention of the [[United Nations]] cultural moratorium.<ref>{{cite news| url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1987-12-07-sp-18176-story.html | work=Los Angeles Times | first=Scott | last=Ostler | title=There's a Price Paid for 'Guilt Premium' Offered by South Africa | date=7 December 1987}}</ref>

In 1991, he reached the top of the [[Official World Golf Ranking]], eventually spending a total of 50 weeks as World Number 1 (7 April 1991 – 21 March 1992). In the same year, he emulated his British rivals, Sandy Lyle and Nick Faldo, by winning the [[1991 Masters Tournament|Masters Tournament]]; the first person representing Wales to ever win a [[Men's major golf championships|major championship]].<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1991/04/15/sports/golf-woosnam-wins-on-18th-green.html |title=Golf; Woosnam Wins on 18th Green |work=The New York Times |first=Jamie |last=Diaz |date=15 April 1991}}</ref><ref>{{cite magazine |url=http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1139752/index.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140421050444/http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1139752/index.htm |url-status=dead |archive-date=21 April 2014 |magazine=Sports Illustrated |title=Fight to the finish |last=Garrity |first=John |date=22 April 1991}}</ref>

After winning the [[Torras Monte Carlo Golf Open]] in 1991, Woosnam had a decline in form in the second half of the year and said that he was suffering from exhaustion after playing in too many tournaments across the world. In December 1991, his sterling silver Masters trophy, a $9,000 copy of the original, was stolen from a British train.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1309&dat=19911227&id=05VUAAAAIBAJ&sjid=R5ADAAAAIBAJ&pg=6951,4135813 |title=Woosnam to take it easy next year |newspaper=New Straits Times|via=Google News |date=27 December 1991 |page=44}}</ref>

Woosnam's last official European Tour victory was in the [[1997 Volvo PGA Championship|1997]] [[Volvo PGA Championship]]. In the late 1990s, his form began to fade, but he nearly made a spectacular comeback at The Open Championship in 2001, when he finished third despite suffering a two-stroke penalty for starting the final round with 15 clubs in his bag instead of the allowable maximum of 14. While his caddie, Miles Byrne, was responsible for this error, Woosnam decided at the time not to dismiss him stating: "It is the biggest mistake he will make in his life. He won't do it again. He's a good caddie. I am not going to sack him. He's a good lad."<ref>{{cite book |title=The Emotionally Intelligent Manager |first1=David |last1=Caruso |first2=Peter |last2=Salovey |publisher=Jossey-Bass Publishing |isbn=978-0-7879-7071-0 |year=2004 |url-access=registration |url=https://archive.org/details/emotionallyintel0000caru }}</ref> Woosnam did dismiss his caddie two weeks later when, after a night drinking on the town, Byrne failed to turn up to tee-time.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.cbc.ca/sports/golf/woosnam-fires-caddie-1.285410 |title=Woosnam fires caddie |publisher=CBC Sports Golf |date=5 August 2001 |access-date=13 December 2013}}</ref>

Later in 2001, at the age of 43, Woosnam became the oldest player to win the [[HSBC World Match Play Championship|World Match Play Championship]] (not an official European Tour event at the time) when he beat [[Pádraig Harrington]] 2 & 1 in the final. Woosnam also became the first player to capture the trophy in three different decades, having previously won the World Match Play Championship in 1987 and 1990.<ref name="news.bbc.co.uk"/> Woosnam had a record outward nine holes of 28 (-7) in the 2001 final against Harrington, which tied the tournament record of seven successive birdies in a match.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.europeantour.com/europeantour/season=2012/tournamentid=2012030/stats/factsfigures/index.html |title=Volvo World Match Play Championship Facts and Figures |publisher=PGA European Tour |access-date=29 September 2016}}</ref>

Woosnam was a member of eight consecutive European [[Ryder Cup]] teams from 1983 to 1997. Despite not winning a singles match he accumulated an overall record of 14 wins, 12 losses and 5 halves in 31 matches. He was a vice captain for the [[2002 Ryder Cup|2002 European team]] and was elected as captain for the [[2006 Ryder Cup]], leading Europe to victory over the U.S. 18½–9½ at the [[K Club]], County Kildare, Ireland.

On 1 June 2008, Woosnam won his first [[stroke play]] title in 11 years at the [[Parkridge Polish Seniors Championship]] at Kraków Valley Golf and Country Club, finishing with a course record 63.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/golf/7428270.stm |title=Woosnam celebrates Polish victory |work=BBC Sport |date=1 June 2008 |access-date=18 August 2009}}</ref> The tournament was his third appearance on [[European Seniors Tour]], which he joined after turning 50 years old in March 2008. Woosnam went on to win the European Seniors Tour Order of Merit that year becoming the only person to have won the Order of Merit on both the European Seniors Tour and the regular European Tour.
