Nick Price (born January 28, 1957 in Durban, South
Africa), is a professional golfer.

Price is an Zimbabwean citizen and his early life
was spent in that country, a time that included a
stint in the army during that country's civil war.
His parents were originally English. He began his
professional golf career in 1977 on the Sunshine
Tour|Southern Africa Tour, before moving to the
PGA European Tour and finally the PGA TOUR in
1983. He now lives in Florida.

After a promising start, with a victory in his
first year in the USA, his career faded somewhat
before an impressive comeback at the beginning of
the nineties.

By the mid-nineties Price was regarded as the best
player in the world, and in 1994 he won two
majors, The Open Championship|The Open and the PGA
Championship, adding to his first major (also the
PGA Championship) from 1992. He topped the PGA
Tour money list in 1993 and 1994 and spent 43
weeks at number 1 in the Official World Golf
Rankings. He was inducted into the World Golf Hall
of Fame in 2003.

Although Price continues to play professionally,
he has expanded into golf design with his own
company operating out of Florida, and he has his
own line of signature golf apparel.  Price is
widely regarded by fans, media and his fellow
players as one of the most personable golfers on
the PGA TOUR.
