A two-time major champion, Sandy Lyle is one of the best players to emerge from the home of golf.
The Scot called it a career following the 2023 Galleri Classic, a Champions Tour event. The 1988 Masters winner will have one last hoorah at Augusta National before exiting stage left.
He leaves professional golf after more than 50 years competing across the globe, tallying 30 professional wins and touted as one of the best golfers from Britain throughout the 1980s.
A five-time Ryder Cup member, Lyle’s other career highlights include winning the 1985 Open Championship and the 1988 Masters.
Inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 2012, Lyle has undoubtedly left a positive impact on the game and will continue to be a fantastic ambassador for the game throughout his retirement.
