One of the world’s most popular golfers due to his modest and unassuming nature, Grady climbed to the top by winning the 1990 US PGA Championship. Twice winner of the Australian PGA, he has won over $1million on the Australasian Tour.
Born in Brisbane, Grady was also runner-up at The Open Championship in 1989, losing in the first four-hole playoff to Mark Calcavecchia.
Grady first gained membership of US based PGA Tour at its 1984 Qualifying School, and he spent most of his career playing predominantly in America. He also played intermittently on the European Tour, picking up one win at the 1984 German Open.
