Tom Purtzer is a 65-year-old professional golfer with 15 career wins under his belt. The native Iowan actually took after his older brother, Paul, who played for the Arizona State golf team and then hit the PGA Tour during the 1970s and 1980s.

The Golf Channel once touted Purtzer as possessing the “sweetest swing in golf.” He’s since put his immaculate skill to good use, as he and his brother currently head the Purtzer Performance Golf School and Academy located in Phoenix.
