The Georgia Institute of Technology, commonly known as Georgia Tech, or Tech, is a public, Coeducational Research university in After two years on the Nike Tour, he earned his PGA Tour card in 1995.
Professional rise and fall
Success came quickly, as Duval posted seven second place finishes on the PGA Tour from 1995 to 1997, qualifying for the 1996 President's Cup and posting a 4-0-0 record for the victorious American team. But a PGA Tour victory eluded him until he won the Michelob Championship at Kingsmill in October, 1997, and winning his next two tournaments in the same month, including the 1997 Tour Championship. The Tour Championship (sometimes typeset as THE TOUR Championship) was historically the final event of golf's PGA Tour season Altogether, from 1997 and 2001, he won 13 PGA Tour tournaments, including the 1997 Tour Championship, the 1999 Players Championship, and the 2001 Open Championship, as well as the 2001 Dunlop Phoenix Open and the 2000 World Cup (with Tiger Woods) internationally.

Other career highlights include achieving the number one spot in the Official World Golf Rankings in April 1999 and shooting a 59 in the final round of the 1999 Bob Hope Chrysler Classic on the Palmer Course at PGA West in La Quinta, California (doing so in dramatic fashion by making an eagle on the 18th hole). The Official World Golf Rankings is a system for rating the performance level of male professional Golfers. The Bob Hope Chrysler Classic is a professional Golf tournament played each January in California's Coachella Valley. California ( is a US state on the West Coast of the United States, along the Pacific Ocean. When he won the Players Championship he became the first player in history to win on the same day as his father, Bob Duval, who won a Champions Tour event that same day. Robert "Bob" Duval (born October 9, 1946) is an American Professional golfer and is best known for being the father of David Duval The Champions Tour, a Golf tour run by the PGA Tour, hosts a series of events annually Before 1999, only two other golfers in PGA Tour history, Al Geiberger and Chip Beck, had posted a 59 in competition and no one had ever done so in a final round. Allen Lee "Al" Geiberger Sr (born September 1, 1937) is an American Professional golfer who has won numerous golf tournaments Charles Henry "Chip" Beck (born September 12, 1956) is an American Golfer who was a three time All-American at the University He also played on the victorious 1999 Ryder Cup team, as well as the 2002 team.

After his Open Championship win, Duval entered a downward spiral in form that saw him drop to 80th on the money list in 2002, and 211th in 2003, prompting an extended break from the game. Numerous reasons have been postulated for the decline, including back, wrist, and shoulder problems; private difficulties; and a form of vertigo. Vertigo (from the Latin vertere, to turn and the suffix -igo, a condition i
Many commentators believed Duval's career to be over, but he returned to golf in 2004 at the U.S. Open, where he shot 25 over par and missed the cut. The United States Open Championship, commonly known as the US Duval has struggled since his return with his highest results a T-13 at the 2004 Deutsche Bank Championship and a T-16 at the 2006 U. S. Open. He made the cut in only one PGA Tour event in 2005, but did finish in the top ten at the Dunlop Phoenix tournament in Japan. While Duval at his peak was viewed as aloof and distant and was not a fan favorite, now galleries sympathize with his plight and root for him to overcome his issues and to enjoy playing golf.
Duval had a successful start to the 2006 PGA Tour season, making the cut in his first two tournaments, as well as a very respectable finish of T-16 at the U. S. Open Championship at Winged Foot Golf Club, where his second round 68 was good enough for a tie as the best round of the tournament. Despite not reaching the same heights in the remaining two majors of the year, his performances continued a general upward trend, with none of the rounds of 80+ that had become so familiar in the previous years.
Duval's winning speech at the 2001 Open was welcomed by British commentators as "delightfully modest and heartfelt". [1]
