Peter Lonard (July 17, 1967 in Sydney) is an
Australian golfer who plays mainly on the U.S.
based PGA Tour. He credits fellow Australian Greg
Norman as his inspiration.

Lonard turned professional in 1989 and began his
career on the PGA Tour of Australasia and played
the European Tour in 1991 and 1992, where he had
very moderate results. He was sidelined for nearly
18 months in 1993-94 after contracting Ross River
Fever, a mosquito-carried virus which caused
damage to his eyes and worked as a club
professional for three years before returning to
top the PGA Tour of Australasia Order of Merit in
1996/97. He returned to the European Tour in 1997
and has performed steadily since with a best Order
of Merit placing of 18th in 2002. He has not won
in Europe, but has done so regularly in Australia.

Lonard joined the U.S. based PGA Tour in 2002 and
settled in well, winning over $1 million in his
first season. He has also maintained his
membership of the European Tour. His first win on
in the U.S. came at the 2005 MCI Heritage.

Lonard was a member of the International Team at
the 2003 Presidents Cup.
