Nicknamed ‘Popeye’ due to the sheer size of his forearms, Paul Casey has continued to progress up the world rankings and has notched up 8 European Tour victories in 8 years on Tour.

Casey has continued on his fantastic record in Team events, as member of the last 3 Ryder Cup sides, notably, the successful 2004 and 2006 teams as well as 3 victories in the Seve Trophy. Casey claimed yet another team title in 2004 when he paired up with Luke Donald to win the World Cup of Golf.

2006 was an extremely successful season for Paul as he claimed 3 individual victories on the European Tour as well as an unbeaten performance at the Ryder Cup. Paul got off to a flying start with victory in China, which he duly followed up by winning 2 further events during a very lucrative summer. Gleneagles provided Casey with yet another victory in June as he claimed the Johnnie Walker Championship. The crowning glory of his season surely came at Wentworth, when pitted against the world’s elite, Casey stormed to victory at the HSBC World Matchplay Championship.

Paul agonisingly missed out on winning the Order of Merit as Ireland’s Padraig Harrington overhauled his Ryder Cup Team mate by the narrowest of margins at the end of season Volvo Masters.

In 2007, Paul made the perfect start to the new season by winning the Abu Dhabi Golf Championship, making it his eighth European Tour title in his career.  That victory signalled a perfect continuation from the previous year, when he produced some of the most consistent and spectacular golf of his career. Throughout the year, Paul continued to play well and narrowly missed on adding to his tournament victories at the HSBC and WGC Match play championships. Paul was one of only seven golfers to make the cut in all four Majors.
