Bob Murphy RESIDENCE: Boynton Beach, FL FAMILY: Wife , Gail; Daughter , Kimberly HEIGHT: 5’10” WEIGHT: 200 BIRTHDATE: February 14, 1943 BIRTH PLACE: Brooklyn, NY Bob Murphy RESIDENCE: Boynton Beach, FL FAMILY: Wife , Gail; Daughter , Kimberly COLLEGE: University of Florida (Physical Education) SPECIAL INTERESTS: Fishing, Stock Market TURNED PROFESSIONAL: 1967 Bob Murphy’s determination and perseverance have translated into a successful career both on and off the golf course. After playing on the PGA Tour for 25 years, Bob was afflicted with severe arthritis. He was determined to beat the condition and continue playing the game he loved. His fortitude prevailed, and Murphy has not only continued to play, but has achieved an impressive 11 victories on the Champions Tour. In 1993, Bob exploded onto the Champions Tour—winning two tournaments and the Rookie of the Year award. He attributes his success as a player to his time spent as an ESPN Golf Commentator. As he analyzed players’ games for the television viewers, he noticed similar flaws in his own game and worked on correcting them. Bob’s most successful year was 1995. He won four tournaments, including the IntelliNet Challenge, PaineWebber Invitational, Nationwide Championship, and VFW Senior Championship. In 1998 he was honored to receive the Ben Hogan Award, which recognizes individuals remaining active in golf despite a serious illness. Bob has earned over $8 million throughout his career, and is looking forward to another strong year on the Champions Tour. Bob will draw on his playing experience and resilient personality as he returns to the broadcast booth this year, where he will telecasting both PGA and Champions Tour events for NBC Sports. Along with his busy schedule as a player and announcer, Bob will also continue doing speaking engagements and golf clinics at corporate outings and charity events throughout the country. .
