Adam Scott (golfer)
Adam Derek Scott (born 16 July 1980) is an Australian professional golfer who plays on the PGA Tour. He is a former world number one in the Official World Golf Ranking. He has won one major championship, the 2013 Masters Tournament.
After winning the Australian Boys' Amateur in 1997 and 1998, Scott attended the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, where he played for the UNLV Rebels until he turned professional in 2000. He soon earned membership on the European Tour and within three years he had won four European Tour events. Aged 23, Scott won the 2004 Players Championship, the flagship event on the PGA Tour, and afterwards played primarily in the United States. He won the Tour Championship in 2006 and rose into the top five of the Official World Golf Ranking. He suffered a slump in 2009 and fell outside the top 50 of the world rankings until winning the Australian Open.
Scott moved back into the top 10 of the world rankings by winning the 2011 WGC-Bridgestone Invitational, and finished runner-up at the 2012 Open Championship. Scott won his first major championship at the 2013 Masters Tournament, making him the first Australian to earn a green jacket. In 2014, he overtook Tiger Woods to reach the number one position in the Official World Golf Ranking, a position he held for 11 weeks. Scott has had enduring success since; as of 2025, he has a total of 32 worldwide wins, including 14 on the PGA Tour. He has also made eleven consecutive appearances for international team at the Presidents Cup from 2003 to 2024.
Scott was born in Adelaide, South Australia on 16 July 1980, to Pam and Phil Scott. Phil was introduced to golf at age 14 while visiting his relatives in Wales. He played alongside a cousin at Ashburnham Golf Club in Burry Port and continued to play golf when he returned to Australia. Phil had aspired to become a professional golfer, but suffered a career-ending injury while riding a motorbike aged 19. He then became a club professional and later a golf course designer. He introduced Adam to the game at a young age by giving him a plastic set of clubs, and regularly took him to the North Adelaide Par-3 course.
Scott attended the Lady George Kindergarten in Adelaide and moved with his family at the age of nine to Sunshine Coast, Queensland, where he attended Matthew Flinders Anglican College. They then settled on the Gold Coast, Queensland in 1993 when Scott was 12 years of age. Initially at The Southport School, an Anglican boys' school on the Gold Coast, he completed his high school education at The Kooralbyn International School, located in the Gold Coast hinterland, where he undertook extra subjects in golf. Alongside golf, Scott played football, cricket, handball, and tennis during his youth. He was selected as a member of the Golf Australia National Squad. Scott was coached by his father until age 19, when he began to work with Butch Harmon.
Scott won the Australian Boys' Amateur in 1997 and 1998. He was also a member of the Golf Australia National Squad. Scott later attended the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) in the United States, where he played for the UNLV Rebels golf team. Scott stated that he chose to attend UNLV because he was impressed by the school's brochure, stating: "I literally picked the one with the best‑looking prospectus, and that was UNLV. They had a really beautiful glossy magazine about their golf program. I didn't visit or anything, so I didn't really know." At UNLV, he was teammates with future PGA Tour player Charley Hoffman, who mentored him.
Scott turned professional midway through the 2000 season. He earned his card for the 2001 European Tour season in just eight starts as a professional, his best result being a tie for sixth at the Linde German Masters. Scott also made a handful of appearances on the PGA Tour but made only one cut in six events.
In Scott's first full year as a professional golfer he won the European Tour's Alfred Dunhill Championship in Johannesburg, South Africa for his first professional title. This event was Scott's first start of the year and was co-sanctioned by the European and Sunshine Tours. He beat Justin Rose to the title by one stroke. Scott had three other top-3 finishes throughout the season and went on to finish 13th in the Order of Merit in his first season.
