Jonathan Kaye

:"For the linguist, see Jonathan Kaye (linguist)" Jonathan Andrew Kaye (born August 2, 1970) is a professional golfer who plays on the PGA Tour.

Kaye was born in Denver, Colorado. He made his PGA Tour debut in 1993. He has won twice on the PGA Tour, and he has many top ten finishes. He is a self-taught player who has never had a teacher. "There's nobody who could teach my swing," he has said.

He has featured in the top 20 of the Official World Golf Rankings.

2001 incident

In Kaye's early days in the tour, he was known to occasionally find himself in the center of sports media attention for his unorthodox behavior. Kaye's most well known clash with the Tour came at the 2001 Michelob Championship at Kingsmill, played less than a month after 9/11. The co-leader after a the second round, Kaye was heading to the locker room. As the story goes, a security guard refused him entry without his player ID badge, which Kaye then found and clipped provocatively to the zipper of his pants. The guard took offense, and PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem suspended Kaye for two months. Fact|date=February 2007

The Tour considers the incident so taboo that neither Kaye nor the security guard are allowed to talk about it. However, Kaye has unwittingly given himself, as well as the Tour, positive attention by being a distinct personality among the other golfers.
