Jeff Maggert

Jeffrey Allan Maggert (born February 20, 1964) is an American professional golfer who plays on the PGA Tour Champions.

Maggert was born in Columbia, Missouri. He was raised on a golf course in The Woodlands, Texas, where he attended McCullough High School.

He attended Texas A&M University. Maggert was an All-American member of the golf team.

Maggert turned professional in 1986. Early in his career he played overseas, especially on the Asia Golf Circuit and PGA Tour of Australia. He had some early success, winning the 1989 Malaysian Open on the AGC and the 1990 Vines Classic on the Australian Tour.

Early in 1990, he qualified for the Ben Hogan Tour, the PGA Tour's developmental tour. He was Player of the Year in 1990 where he won two tournaments. Maggert's good play on the Ben Hogan Tour ensured a promotion to the PGA Tour for 1991. He has won three times and finished runner-up 16 times on the PGA Tour. He has represented the United States in the Ryder Cup three times and in the Presidents Cup once.

In April 1994, Maggert recorded a double eagle on the 13th hole at the Masters. Seven years later in June 2001, he recorded a double eagle on the 6th hole of the U.S. Open. Maggert is the first (and as of 2025, only) golfer to record multiple double eagles during major championships.

In April 2003, Maggert was the 54-hole leader at The Masters, having shot a third round of 66 to charge through the field. He endured a disappointing final round, that included a triple bogey on the third hole, after the ball rebounded off the bunker lip and struck him, and then a quintuple bogey on the 12th after finding the water twice. Maggert would finish in solo fifth place, his career best finish at the Masters.

He withdrew from The Players Championship in 2008 after completing one round, when he learned that his older brother, Barry, had died in a single-engine airplane crash in Gilpin County, Colorado.
