Married and on Tour

[Chilli Dipper]

Here's something I noticed this morning while watching the Golf Channel ticker. Martin Piller, a PGA Tour rookie, is playing in this week's FedEx St. Jude Classic; halfway through his second round, he's currently tied for tenth place, warranting his name on the ticker. Piller recently married the former Gerina Mendoza, whom many members of this forum will recognize from her appearance on The Big Break: Prince Edward Island. Gerina Piller is a rookie on the LPGA Tour; currently tied for seventh at the State Farm Classic midway through her second round, her name is scrolling across the ticker as well. To my knowledge, the Pillers are the only instance of a husband and wife concurrently playing on the major men's and women's tours. Perhaps someone else may know more on this topic to prove me wrong.

Currently yes, but many years ago there were ther Millers, Allen and Cindy, who played on the PGA and LPGA, respectivelly. And the kicker in all of this is that Cindy, like Gerina, was a participant on the big break, albeit after her LPGA tour career.
