Tom Weiskopf, winner of 16 PGA Tour titles and co-designer of TPC Scottsdale, has died at age 79.
Tom Weiskopf, winner of 16 PGA Tour titles including the 1973 British Open, has died. He was 79, and had been dealing with pancreatic cancer since late 2020.
Weiskopf was born Nov. 9, 1942 in Massillon, Ohio. He played golf for Ohio State University and was considered to be “the next Nicklaus” to be produced from that state and golf program. He turned professional in 1964. But in retrospect Weiskopf had regrets for failing to realize his full potential: “I challenge myself all the time: Why couldn’t I have done that? Why couldn’t I have worked out? Why did I drink? Well, I’m 20 years sober. It’s my greatest accomplishment. Because I was a partier, a good time guy. I had so much talent that I could turn it on at times when I wanted to, when I needed to, but it wasn’t important to me,” he said.
, initially with Jay Morrish and later with Phil Smith as a partner. He credited Nicklaus for giving him the idea that he might be good at it.
