Tommy Armour III
Class of 2008

Tommy Armour III grew up on the third hole of the historic Desert Inn Golf Club in Las Vegas, the son of a doctor and beauty queen, and the grandson of World Golf Hall of Fame member Tommy Armour, the Silver Scot. He played high school golf at Bishop Gorman, and has enjoyed a long and successful career on the PGA Tour, playing in more than 600 tournaments and earning more than $9 million through 2008. He broke the all-time PGA Tour scoring record at the 2003 Valero Texas Open, and is known as much for his flamboyant lifestyle as his low scoring and go-for-it attitude.

“I love it,” says Armour III about the game of golf. “I look forward to getting up every day to play golf. It hit me one day about 10 years ago that you only get one trip, brother. Enjoy it.”
