Chris DiMarco (born August 23, 1968 Huntington,
New York) is an United States|American golfer who
plays on the PGA Tour.

DiMarco attended University of Florida and turned
professional in 1990. His career has built up
quite slowly, and it took him until 1994 to become
a member of the PGA Tour. He played where he
could, winning the Canadian Tour's order of merit
in 1992 and finishing ninth on the second tier
Nike Tour in 1993 to earn his PGA Tour card.
However he was not always able to maintain his
place on the main tour, and his first professional
win came back on the Nike Tour at the 1997 Nike
Ozarks Classic. However, as he moved into his
thirties, he continued to improve, capturing his
first trophy on the main tour at the 2001 SEI
Pennsylvania Classic. Further PGA Tour wins
followed at the 2001 Buick Challenge and the 2002
Phoenix Open. By 2004 he had finished in the top
20 on the PGA Tour money list for five straight
seasons, and had finished tied second in the PGA
Championship, losing the title to Vijay Singh in a
three-way playoff. In 2005, DiMarco lost a sudden
death playoff with Tiger Woods to finish second in
the The Masters Tournament|U.S. Masters. This
result was good enough to move him into the top
ten of the Official World Golf Rankings for the
first time.

DiMarco was a member of the U.S. team in the 2003
Presidents Cup and the 2004 Ryder Cup.
