Adam Bag Golf

Adam Derek Scott (born 16 July 1980) is an Australian professional golfer. On 7 January 2007, he reached a career high ranking of third with a second place finish at the Mercedes-Benz Championship.

Scott is often talked of as a natural successor to Greg Norman in Australian golf, an impression reinforced when Norman's former caddy joined up with him in 2004, and he is coached by noted instructor Butch Harmon.

Biography

Scott was born in Adelaide, Australia. He attended the prestigious Anglican boys' school, The Southport School in middle school, and finished his high school education at The Kooralbyn International School where he also undertook extra subjects in Golf. He also briefly attended University of Nevada, Las Vegas

Career

His playing career took off in 2001, his first full year as a professional golfer, when he won the European Tour's Alfred Dunhill Championship in Johannesburg, South Africa. The following year he recorded two further European Tour victories, at the Qatar Masters and the Scottish PGA Championship.

2003 saw another European win in the Scandinavian Masters and his first win on the US PGA Tour, at the Deutsche Bank Championship. Further PGA Tour successes followed in 2004 at The Players Championship and the Booz Allen Classic. Early in 2005 he won the Nissan Open and reached the top ten of the Official World Golf Rankings for the first time. He has spent over 180 weeks in the top-10 of the rankings.

Scott now concentrates mainly on the PGA Tour, but he continues to play all over the world. In 2006 he won the Tour Championship and finished third on the PGA Tour money list. In 2008 he played enough events on the European Tour to qualify for a playing on the Order of Merit for the first time since 2005. His form dipped in 2009 as dropped out of the top 50 in the world rankings and the top 100 of the PGA Tour money list.

Scott represented Australia in the WGC-World Cup in 2002 and was a member of the International Team at the Presidents Cup in 2003, 2005, and 2007.

Scott is currently the touring professional at The Palms Golf Course Sanctuary Cove, located on the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia.

Personal life

After splitting from a long term girlfriend in 2008, he briefly dated actress Kate Hudson, and is presently dating Serbian tennis star Ana Ivanovic.
