Defining David Duval, Multi-Dimensional Golf Pro

Some fans and followers characterize David Duval by describing the equipment he uses: Titleist 2 irons, Cobra Trusty Rustys, Big Bertha drivers and woods.

Other David Duval enthusiasts see his golf apparel as important, noting that he dons Foot-Joy and Titleist headwear, shoes, and gloves, and totes a Titleist bag.

The rigorously faithful and stanch follow through with the British Open champion's golfing history, records, stats and notes. David Duval, the sportsmen and sportswomen of PGA will tell you, is a former four-time All American; is 1993's collegiate player of the year; is the youngest player in 1993, also, to win the Nike Wichita Open; is a record-setting rookie in 1995, earning $881,436 on that year's PGA tour; is winner of the 1997 Michelob Championship; is a 4-time winner in 1998, picking up both the Mercedes Championship and the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic wins; and is occasionally part of a father/son team, playing with his professional golfer dad and winning with him at the Champions Tour emerald Coast Classic.

And at the same time, more devoted to David Duval the personality, to his many sides, and to quality inside reporting, select writers make the furthest efforts to make closer, more detailed observations of the man behind the irons: Kate Meyers, in her candid and intimate close-up of the champion, “A Portrait of the Golfer as an Intense but Pretty Funny Young Man,” discloses Duval's profound appreciation for art--which in the forms, genres, and styles of Ansel Adams, Mackenzie Thorpe, Thomas Pradzynski, Manuel Sanchez, and even local artists like his former neighbor are displayed throughout his homes by fives and tens. The thorough interviewer also describes the literature, music and TV Duval owns and/or loves as much as the art he has amassed and engages in discussion with Meyers about: the Tom Robbins first editions and the Hiassen and Friedman titles, the Bukowski and Rand works, the U2 and Foo Fighters compositions, the West Wing show and the Sports Center coverage.

And so because David Duval aficionados vary in degrees of interest and involvement—and thanks to them—we have a multi-dimensional definition of a multi-dimensional man…who is not just a golfer with an eye stigmatism who has to wear shades on the fairway, who is not just a figurehead in golf, who is not just golf. Though he is at the top of all golf biographers' lists.
