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.
