Profile
It’s a long, improbable road from childhood dreams on the local golf course in Bright’s Grove, Ont., to winning the Masters, but Mike Weir has lived it, and in the process, has become a Canadian sports hero. Like most young Canadians, Weir first dreamed of playing professional hockey, but his fate changed when he picked up his first golf club.

In 1999, Weir won his first PGA TOUR title at the 1999 Air Canada Championship, becoming the first Canadian to win on tour since 1992 and the first Canadian to win on native soil since Pat Fletcher won the 1954 Canadian Open. Weir emerged as one of the game’s brightest stars with his 2003 Masters victory in a dramatic playoff over Len Mattiace, and came back to a hero’s welcome in Canada. His breakthrough year on the PGA TOUR earned him the 2003 Lou Marsh Award as Canada’s athlete of the year.

The 2010 TELUS World Skins Game will be Mike Weir’s eighth year participating in this prestigious event.
