Hi,
I was wondering if anyone had a list of left-handed current professional golfers, or a link to where you can check if they are left- or right-handed.

Thanks!


I couldn't find such a list for the PGA Tour, but I can give you a list of left handed LPGA golfers.

I always wished Phil pulled a Princess Bride during a playoff and said "You should know something. I am not left handed" and finish out playing righty.

I'm sure he and most pro's would shoot lower scores than most of us using their opposite hands.  I'm left handed but for years bowled in leagues right handed (only bowling ball I had access to was drilled for righties).  My business partner writes right handed but throws and golfs left handed.  There are lots of mixed up people out there :-)

Well, Phil specifically because he's apparently a righty for everything but golf, which fascinates me to no end. I've wondered if that hindered him at all

Probably not so much now but us lefties have a tough time finding lefty clubs to demo.
