Paul Casey is an English professional golfer who also is a member of The British-based PGA Tour. He is currently second in the Professional Golfers’ Association (PGA) rankings, at No. 2 behind Mike Weir. In the last six months he has moved to eighth in the US Open and is just outside the top eight in the World Rankings. In 2021 he earned his highest placing, third, at the Senior Golf Association (WSOP) World Golf Rankings.
This move came as quite a surprise to many because there was no indication of Paul playing any less than seriously during the year before. His first eighteen matches back from the devastating injury sustained in the second round of the WPT at the St. Andrews Club in Scotland, included five more starts at the lower ranks. This gave some golfing experts reason to believe that it was just a matter of time before he would again challenge for the PGA Tour’s top prize, the Senior Men’s Title. But the reality was that Paul had made considerable gains in his game over the last few months. He explained to Yahoo! Sports’ Rob Grossman that he had worked extensively with a personal trainer to increase his strength and flexibility.
Tanzanian, who turns 31 on December, stated that he had yet to make any contact with the other members of his team who are in their thirties or forties. He admitted that he still had some work ahead of him, but said that he felt much better than he ever had while playing professionally. He admitted that he was still playing on an equal level to the other members of his team, but that now he feels “a little younger.” He told USA Today’s Steve Lebow that he expected to play the same amount of golf next year that he did this season. His agent, Tim Burke, indicated that there is an age difference of seven years in the near future, and Tanzanian is planning on that as his retirement age.
