David Wayne Toms (born January 4, 1967 in Monroe,
Louisiana) is an United States|American
professional golfer who plays on the PGA Tour. He
has spent a considerable amount of time in the top
10 of the Official World Golf Rankings.

Toms won the 15-17 Boys' event at the 1984 Junior
World Golf Championships. He then attended
Louisiana State University before joining the PGA
Tour in 1992. As of 9 March 2005 he has won one
major championship, namely the 2001 PGA
Championship, and a total of eleven events on the
PGA Tour. At the same date he was sixth on the
http://www.pgatour.com/stats/leaders/r/2005/110
PGA Tour career money leaders chart, and remains
sixth through 12 June.

His winning score of 265 (15 under par) in the
2001 PGA Championship is the lowest absolute
72-hole score ever recorded in a major
championship (although not the lowest in relation
to par; Tiger Woods holds that record).
 
At the 2005 Memorial Tournament, during the 9th
hole of the 4th round, Toms missed a putt. Upon
seeing this a fan yelled out "Good Job Freddy",
referring to Fred Couples and how missing that
putt had helped Couples. Upon hearing this Toms
made a gesture which was apparently him scratching
his cheek, but it was caught on camera and was
really giving the man who had yelled out the
finger|a middle finger. Toms later denied this,
but it was confirmed later with a photo. Although
it was thought that Toms would have to pay a fine,
the PGA never took action.
