Rodney Pampling (born 23 September 1969) is an Australian professional golfer. He currently plays on the PGA Tour Champions, and was a three-time winner on the PGA Tour.

Golf career

Pampling was born in

Web.com Tour
, and did well enough in his second season to gain promotion to the full PGA Tour.

In 1999, Pampling shot a 71 at

Open Championship, leading the field. However, he shot an 86 in the second round to miss the cut.[4]

He achieved his first PGA Tour win at

European Tour co-sanctioned event, that win also earned him a two-year exemption on that tour. Pampling then became an endorser for AdvoCare, which produces weight management, nutritional supplement, and personal care products.[9]

After a rough 2010, Pampling played the 2011 season with limited status as a past champion and through sponsor invites. He received a lifetime invitation to the AT&T National from tournament director Greg McLaughlin after personally trying to thank each tournament director that gave him a sponsor exemption during the 2011 season. Pampling clawed his way to 124th on the PGA Tour, regaining his Tour card by just over $2,000.[10] Pampling finished the 2012 season 127th on the money list, just missing a PGA Tour card by two spots and $26,617. From 2013 to 2015, Pampling alternated between the PGA Tour and Web.com Tour.

Pampling won the Web.com Tour's

Shriners Hospitals for Children Open.[11] A clerical error allowed Pampling and eleven other golfers entry into the field, increasing the field from 132 to 144.[12]
