The KEN GREEN story

Tough Love and Second Chances - EDGA

In professional tour golf at the very highest level, Ken Green has played with the very finest, and beaten them. He will tell you why the “extreme highs and lows” of golf are both equally necessary to feed the soul, and that his love of the game has helped many times in shoring him up through many troubled days and family tragedy.

During the 1980s, this five-time US PGA Tour winner and Ryder Cup player competed against the likes of Jack Nicklaus, Tom Watson, Greg Norman, Nick Faldo and Seve Ballesteros.

In 2024, Ken plays as a right lower-leg amputee, but he often does so while enduring intense pain due to a chronic nerve injury condition. However, he peppers any interview with references to the joy and love for the game he has today.

A 65-year-old who still competes to shine a light for others on the unique benefits of golf, his sport makes him want to get up in the morning and play again.
