With 20 career wins and three consecutive Ryder Cup team appearances, Chad Campbell is recognized as one of the best ball strikers in the world.
Prior to 2000, Campbell played on the NGA Hooters Tour, where he won 13 tournaments and was the leading money winner three times. In 2001 he played on the Buy.com Tour, now known as the Nationwide Tour, where he won three tournaments and earned promotion to the elite PGA Tour part way through the season.
In 2003 Campbell won The Tour Championship, was runner-up at the PGA Championship, and finished seventh on the PGA Tour money list. He claimed a second PGA Tour win in 2004 and made a strong start to 2006, winning the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic and topping the money list for a short time early in the season. He claimed his fourth PGA Tour victory by one stroke at the 2007 Viking Classic.
In the 2009 Masters Tournament, Campbell led for the first three days before losing in a playoff against Ángel Cabrera and Kenny Perry.
