Whatever Happened to John Holmes?

[Wireman]

He was really big coming out of college and then kind of exploded onto the pro scene with a tourney win... After that he pulled out of a few tourneys and his career pretty much splattered. Anyone know whatever happened to probably the best UK golfer ever?

I would do some research, but I'm afraid to google the name here at work.

LOL, probably a good call. Let me see what I can find.

Try J.B. Holmes.

 

"He tied for tenth in his first PGA Tour start at the 2006 Sony Open in Hawaii and in February that year he won the FBR Open, making him the fastest golfer to reach $1,000,000 in career earnings on the PGA Tour. It was his fifth tournament as a professional and his fourth on the PGA Tour."

I know I would not do it at school. "But I swear I was looking for a golfer!"

A Google search came up with a long list of results, but luckily not all of them were for the more famous John Holmes. Here is a link to his 2007 season:

I would be happy with his annual earnings thus far (especially since its April!)...

[Wireman]

For some reason, I was thinking he was no longer on the tour. I am glad to see that he's actually doing quite well.
