Legendary golfer and 11-time PGA Tour winner Andy Bean died following complications from a recent lung replacement surgery, the PGA Tour confirmed.
Legendary golfer Andy Bean died Saturday after complications from double lung replacement surgery last month, the PGA Tour confirmed. He was 70. Bean was an 11-time PGA Tour winner. His first victory came in 1977 at the Doral-Eastern Open, and his most recent victory was in 1986 at the Byron Nelson Golf Classic in Texas. Bean was also victorious three times on the Champions Tour.
He was born March 13, 1953, in Lafayette, Georgia, and played golf for the Florida Gators. During his time at Florida, Bean competed on a team that featured future PGA Tour players Gary Koch, Woody Blackburn, Phil Hancock and current Augusta National Golf Club chairman Fred Ridley. Bean turned professional in 1975. Four years later, he became a member of the United States Ryder Cup team, making the team a second time in 1987. In 1980 and 1989, Bean finished second at the PGA Championship. Although he never won a major, he did finish in second at the 1983 Open Championship. 'Andy was a tenacious competitor on the course but the kindest of men off of it,' PGA Tour Champions President Miller Brady said.
Bean his survived by his wife Debbie and the couple's three daughters.
