Gary John Christian (born 7 August 1971) is an English professional golfer who has played on the Web.com Tour and the PGA Tour.
Christian was born in Carshalton, England. As a junior, he played golf at Addington Palace Golf Club, England. He went to college in the United States, first on an academic scholarship to Wallace State Community College[1] in Alabama after being spotted by talent scouts at a trial. He was later offered a place at Auburn University, again on a scholarship. He spent two years at Auburn, graduating in 1995
Christian turned professional in 1997, and won four times in his first year on the TearDrop Tour.[2] He was a member of the Nationwide Tour in 1999 and for several seasons from 2006. He picked up his first win on tour at the 2009 Northeast Pennsylvania Classic, where he defeated Mathias Grönberg in a playoff that went to nine holes, equaling a Nationwide Tour record for longest playoff.[3]
At age 40, Christian finally graduated to the PGA Tour after finishing ninth on the Nationwide Tour's money list.[2] Christian had never played in a PGA Tour event until 2012. He played in 28 events in 2012, making 18 cuts and having a best finish of T-10 at the RBC Canadian Open.
Christian has played on several mini-tours during his career, winning over 30 events. The tours he has won on include the Gateway Tour, Dakotas Tour, Emerald Coast Tour, DP Tour, TearDrop Tour and the Tight Lies Tour.[4] He was the leading money winner on the Dakotas Tour in 2002 and 2005.[5][6]
Christian appeared on the TV show The Weakest Link in 2001. He is named after Gary Player. After Christian's touring career ended, he became a commentator on The Golf Channel.
