American golfer Matt Kuchar has been dubbed as one of the gentlest man in all of the sport and is a regular in the US PGA Tour, having previously played on the Nationwide Tour. He has won five titles on the US PGA Tour, with all of these wins spanning a period of 11 years. He enjoyed his greatest success in the early 2000s before suffering a massive slump in his form during which time he was struggling to maintain his playing status on the US PGA Tour.

However, he kept up the fighting spirit that he is known for and on the back of a new, one plane swing, he reinvigorated himself and began to climb up the rankings of the Official Golf World Rankings. Matt Kuchar has earned fame as one of the most consistent players at present in the US PGA Tour over the last five years, having won prize money amounting to $ 15 million in these years and between 2009 and 2012, he recorded a whopping 30 finishes in the top 10. He also topped the money list of the US PGA Tour in 2010.

But his biggest success came in 2012 when he won The Players Championship, the flagship annual event of the US PGA Tour. This win catapulted him to number five in the world golf rankings, his highest ever ranking till date. In what can be best described as his will to win, Matt Kuchar has fought tooth and nail to keep his status as a top 10 player for forty straight weeks.

The new season has also began on a promising note for the American as he defeated Hunter Mahan to win WGC – Accenture Match Play Championship, his first and arguably the most important for him in the World Golf Championship.
