About Mark O'Meara
Mark O'Meara had one of the most remarkable seasons in major championship history in 1998, winning both the Masters Tournament and The Open Championship in the same year — at the age of 41. His first major win came in his 17th appearance at Augusta National, making him one of the most patient major champions in history. Close friends with Tiger Woods, O'Meara's late-career surge came largely attributed to their regular practice rounds together in the late 1990s.
O'Meara was a consistent presence on the PGA Tour for over two decades, winning 16 times, but it was his remarkable 1998 season that cemented his legacy. At Royal Birkdale, he chipped in on the final hole to complete a memorable birdie and edge ahead of Brian Watts in a playoff to claim the Claret Jug. His double in 1998 remains one of the feel-good stories in major championship history.
