NOTAH BEGAY III
notah.com
Notah Begay III, the only full-blooded Native American on the PGA Tour, was born and raised in Albuquerque, New Mexico. A 3-time All-American teammate/roommate of Tiger Woods, Notah secured a scholarship to Stanford University where he earned a degree in Economics in addition to leading the golf team to a National Championship in 1994. Notah’s accomplishments on the golf course speak for themselves. In addition to winning 4 PGA Tour tournaments, Notah became only the third player in the history of professional golf to shoot 59 in a professional event at the 1998 NIKE Dominion Open. Notah’s efforts off the golf course are as admirable as his accomplishments on the golf course. Notah is a National Spokesperson for the Boys & Girls Clubs of America and leads the fight against diabetes by encouraging Native communities to pursue healthier lifestyles. In addition, Notah serves as co-Chairman of the New Mexico Council on Physical Fitness and launched an initiative called Notah Begay III Foundation in 2005 aimed at getting today’s youth active through soccer and golf programs.
