Woody Blackburn

Woody T. Blackburn (born July 26, 1951) is an American professional golfer who played on the PGA Tour in the 1970s and 1980s.

Blackburn was born in Pikeville, Kentucky. He attended the University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida, and was a member of the 1973 NCAA Championship golf team along with future fellow PGA Tour golfers Phil Hancock, Gary Koch and Andy Bean. He turned professional later that same year.

Blackburn's first win after turning pro came in 1976 at the Walt Disney World National Team Championship with playing partner Billy Kratzert. His second PGA Tour win came at the 1985 Isuzu-Andy Williams San Diego Open, now known as the Buick Invitational. En route to his victory, he set the 54 hole scoring record at -18 under par (198), which Tiger Woods tied in 2008. He also finished in a 5-way tie for first at the 1981 Quad Cities Open, but lost in a playoff to Dave Barr. His best finish in a major was T-40 at the 1985 PGA Championship.
