Golf: Adam Scott profile

Adam Scott is the only Australian to have won the Masters and has picked up a very impressive 31 professional wins throughout his career so far.

Affectionately known as the ‘Big Queenslander’ or ‘Scotty’ the 43-year-old also had a spell as the world number one in 2014, and won the Players Championship in 2004.

So far a second Major championship win has eluded him. But he did come close when finishing second at the Open Championship.

Scott also finished third at the PGA Championship and fourth at the US Open, and is without doubt one of Australia’s finest ever golfers.

There is still life in the old dog however and Scott can be backed at 81.00 to win the 2024 Open Championship.
