Andy North PGA, Golf

North began his professional career as a golfer in 1972. The first PGA Tour win of North’s career came at the 1977 American Express Westchester Classic. He was 28 years old when he won the 1978 U.S. Open at Cherry Hills Country Club in Cherry Hills Village, Colorado.

At the 1985 U.S. Open, on the South Course at Oakland Hills Country Club in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, North found himself two shots behind Taiwan’s Chen Tze-Chung going into the final round, but three shots clear of the rest of the field. Chen moved into a four-shot lead early but threw the tournament wide open by shooting a quadruple-bogey eight on the fifth hole.

The lead swung between North, Chen, Denis Watson, Payne Stewart, and Dave Barr, who had surged into contention, but North went into the last hole with a two-shot lead, and his bogey five was enough to give him a second major championship.

North played on the 1985 Ryder Cup team. In 1990, he won the PGA Grand Slam of Golf. Since turning 50 in 2000 North has played intermittently on the Champions Tour. His best finish at this level is second in the 2001 Emerald Coast Classic.

Andy North Broadcast

In 1993, North joined ESPN as an on-course reporter. In 2004, he was promoted to the lead on-course reporter for ESPN and ABC Sports. He also has been the lead analyst on ESPN’s golf studio shows with host Scott Van Pelt since 2003. According to ESPN, his preview shows for major championships have been so in-depth that Tour players have been known to watch them help with course strategy.

From 2003 to 2014, North concluded his U.S. Open preview show by dressing up in a doctor’s outfit and using an often modified formula to pick the winner of the tournament. North eliminates groups of players who he believes will not win by writing them on large white placards which he then tosses over the edge of the set. In addition, North occasionally serves as a substitute analyst for Wisconsin Badgers men’s basketball radio broadcast. He was elected to the Wisconsin Athletic Hall of Fame in 1998.
