Nicknamed ‘Popeye‘ due to the sheer size of his forearms, Paul Casey has continued to progress up the world rankings and has notched up 10 European Tour victories in 9 years on Tour.

Casey has continued to enjoy a fantastic record in Team events, as member of the last 3 Ryder Cup sides, notably, the successful 2004 and 2006 teams as well as 4 victories in the Seve Trophy. Casey claimed yet another team title in 2004 when he paired up with Luke Donald to win the World Cup.

2006 was an extremely successful season for Paul as he claimed 3 individual victories on the European Tour as well as an unbeaten performance at the Ryder Cup. The crowning glory of his season surely came at Wentworth, when pitted against the world’s elite, Casey stormed to victory at the HSBC World Matchplay Championship. 

In 2007, Paul made the perfect start to the new season by winning the Abu Dhabi Golf Championship. That victory signalled a perfect continuation from the previous year, when he produced some of the most consistent and spectacular golf of his career. 

2009 has been a remarkable year for Paul. He started the year off with a victory at the Abu Dhabi Golf Championship for the second time in his career. A month later he took his fantastic form into the Shell Houston Open where he won in a dramatic play off to claim his first PGA Tour victory. In the same month, Paul returned to the UK to play the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth and won the flagship European Tour tournament by a shot. Paul has now cemented his place at the top of the World Rankings in fourth place and is looking to build on his success even further in the coming months.
