'''Paul Alexander Casey''' (born 21 July 1977) is an English golfer who is a member of [[LIV Golf]]. He has also played on the US-based [[PGA Tour]] and the [[European Tour]]. In 2009, he achieved his highest position, third, in the [[Official World Golf Ranking]].<ref name=owgr/><ref name=third>{{cite news |title=Casey Set on No. 1; Third-ranked golfer looking to justify his spot |newspaper=New York Daily News |date=17 June 2009 |page=54}}</ref>

==Early life==
Casey was born in [[Cheltenham]], [[Gloucestershire]], but moved with his family to [[Weybridge]], [[Surrey]] at the age of six. After attending Cleves School, Weybridge and then [[Hampton School]], west London, he studied A levels at [[Strode's College]], [[Egham]], Surrey.

==Amateur career==
Casey attended [[Arizona State University]] on an athletic scholarship. His amateur career was distinguished. In the US he won three consecutive [[Pac-12]] Championships (1998, 1999 and 2000). In 2000 he broke the championship scoring record held by [[Tiger Woods]] (18 under par) with a 23-under-par 265. 

Back on the other side of the Atlantic he won the [[English Amateur]] in 1999 and 2000. He was also a member of Great Britain and Ireland's winning 1999 [[Walker Cup]] team, where he was only the third player in 77 years to record four victories without a single defeat.

==Professional career==
Casey joined the [[European Tour]] in May 2001, and recorded a second in his fifth event and a win in his eleventh, the [[Gleneagles Scottish PGA Championship]]. He ended that season 22nd on the order of merit and won the [[Sir Henry Cotton Rookie of the Year]] award. After a disappointing second season he won the [[ANZ Championship (golf)|ANZ Championship]] and the [[Benson and Hedges International Open]] in 2003, and came sixth on the Order of Merit.

Casey did not win any individual titles in 2004, but he was a member of the victorious European [[Ryder Cup]] team and also won the [[WGC-World Cup]] for England in partnership with [[Luke Donald]]. Another highlight of his year was a sixth-place finish in his first [[Masters Tournament|Masters]]. He joined the PGA Tour shortly afterwards as a Special Temporary Member and his membership of the 2004 European Ryder Cup Team qualified him for membership of the US based tour for the 2005 season. However he continues to play mainly in Europe, and was the leader of the European Tour Order of Merit in 2006, until [[Pádraig Harrington]] overtook him in the final event. He re-joined the [[PGA Tour]] in 2009.

Casey has featured in the top 10 of the [[Official World Golf Ranking]] and was the highest ranked Englishman for a time. In January 2007 he reached a career high of No. 13 in the rankings.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.owgr.com/news/fullstory.sps?iNewsid=397083&itype=&iCategoryID=0 |title=Week 3 – Paul Casey Wins the Abu Dhabi Championship and Reaches World Number 13 |publisher=Official World Golf Ranking |date=22 January 2007 |access-date=8 August 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080927095749/http://www.owgr.com/news/fullstory.sps?iNewsid=397083&itype=&iCategoryID=0 |archive-date=27 September 2008  }}</ref>

In 2006, Casey won the [[HSBC World Match Play Championship]] at [[Wentworth Golf Club|Wentworth]], beating [[Shaun Micheel]] 10 and 8 in a record victory for the final. Casey became the only player in [[Ryder Cup]] history to win a foursome match with a [[hole-in-one]] on Saturday, 23 September 2006, in Ireland.

Casey sparked controversy in November 2004, when in an interview for the ''[[Sunday Times]]'' newspaper he reportedly said, of the US [[Ryder Cup]] team, ''"Oh, we properly hate them. We wanted to beat them as badly as possible"''. Several leading American golfers, including [[Fred Funk]] and [[Davis Love III]], publicly dismissed the controversy surrounding Casey as tabloid mischief. Casey later apologised, saying the remarks were taken out of context and using the word "hate" was an error. Casey said he has an American coach ([[Peter Kostis]]) and an American girlfriend, and says he ''"has nothing against America"''.<ref>{{cite news |title=Casey apologises for 'hate' jibe |work=BBC Sport |date=18 November 2004 |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/golf/4019845.stm |access-date=8 August 2012}}</ref>

Casey earned his first [[PGA Tour]] win on 5 April 2009 by defeating [[J. B. Holmes]] in a one-hole playoff at the [[Shell Houston Open]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/golf/7984801.stm |title=Casey clinches maiden PGA victory |date=5 April 2009 |work=BBC Sport |access-date=6 April 2009}}</ref> This win took him to No. 6 in the Official World Golf Ranking.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.owgr.com/NEWS/fullstory.sps?iNewsid=6630178&itype=421 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120907014423/http://www.owgr.com/NEWS/fullstory.sps?iNewsid=6630178&itype=421 |url-status=dead |archive-date=7 September 2012 |title=Week 14 – Paul Casey Wins the Shell Houston Open and Jumps to World Number Six |publisher=Official World Golf Ranking |date=5 April 2009 |access-date=8 August 2012 }}</ref>

[[File:Paul Casey PGA Wentworth.jpg|thumb|left|Casey (left) celebrates after winning the 2009 [[BMW PGA Championship]].]]

Casey won his milestone 10th event on the European Tour at the 2009 [[BMW PGA Championship]] at [[Wentworth Golf Club]] in Surrey, where he won by one stroke over Wentworth resident and fellow Englishman [[Ross Fisher]]. This win vaulted Casey to a career high of 3rd in the [[Official World Golf Ranking]].<ref name=owgr>{{cite web |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/golf/8066190.stm |title=Casey holds on for Wentworth win |date=24 May 2009 |work=BBC Sport |access-date=26 May 2009}}</ref> He had been ranked at No. 41 at the beginning of 2009.<ref name=third/> Casey suffered a rib injury at the [[2009 Open Championship]], limiting the amount of golf he could play in the second half of 2009.

In January 2011, Casey won the [[Volvo Golf Champions]] tournament in [[Bahrain]], which was his first win for 20 months.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/golf/9381497.stm |title=Paul Casey wins first title for 20 months in Bahrain |date=30 January 2011 |work=BBC Sport |access-date=3 February 2011}}</ref>

Casey won the 2012 [[Telus World Skins Game]] in Canada, having defeated [[Jhonattan Vegas]] in a tiebreaker during the event in July.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.cbc.ca/sports/golf/paul-casey-beats-jhonattan-vegas-in-skins-game-shootout-1.1236240 |title=Paul Casey beats Jhonattan Vegas in skins game shootout |date=31 July 2012 |work=CBC Sports |access-date=8 August 2011}}</ref>

In June 2013, Casey won his 12th European Tour title at [[Irish Open (golf)|The Irish Open]] to end a two-and-a-half-year winless drought, due to form and fitness problems.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2013/jun/30/paul-casey-irish-open |title=Paul Casey on road to recovery after winning Irish Open |first=Ewan |last=Murray |date=1 July 2013 |newspaper=[[The Guardian]]}}</ref> He captured the title with a final round 67 in changeable conditions, to win by three strokes over [[Joost Luiten]] and [[Robert Rock]]. He had begun the day four shots behind the leader Luiten, but a run of five birdies in six holes in the middle of the round opened up a three shot lead. It was reduced to one stroke, when Casey bogeyed the 15th and 16th, but a closing eagle on the par five 18th sealed the victory.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.europeantour.com/europeantour/season=2013/tournamentid=2013050/news/newsid=198440.html |title=Paul Casey captures the Irish Open |date=30 June 2013 |publisher=European Tour |access-date=30 June 2013}}</ref>

In September 2014, Casey won his 13th European Tour title at the [[KLM Open]] in the [[Netherlands]], his first victory of the 2014 season. He took victory after posting a final round 66, putting him one shot ahead of runner up, and fellow Englishman [[Simon Dyson]]. He started the final round four strokes off the lead of [[Romain Wattel]]. The victory was especially emotional and gratifying as Casey's wife Pollyanna had given birth to the couple's first child two weeks prior to the event.<ref>{{cite news |last=Corrigan |first=James |date=14 September 2014 |title=Paul Casey 'over the moon' after victory, while Andy Sullivan wins a trip to space |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/golf/11095482/Paul-Casey-over-the-moon-after-victory-while-Andy-Sullivan-wins-a-trip-to-space.html |newspaper=[[The Daily Telegraph]] |location=London |access-date=15 September 2014}}</ref>

In 2015, Casey chose to give up his European Tour exemption and focus solely on the PGA Tour, citing a need to lessen his travel.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.golfchannel.com/news/golf-central-blog/casey-forfeits-euro-membership-focus-pga-tour/ |title=Casey forfeits Euro membership to focus on PGA Tour |access-date=3 February 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924023115/http://www.golfchannel.com/news/golf-central-blog/casey-forfeits-euro-membership-focus-pga-tour/ |archive-date=24 September 2015 |url-status=dead  }}</ref> In February 2015, Casey finished in a tie for second at the [[Northern Trust Open]] after losing in a sudden-death playoff to [[James Hahn (golfer)|James Hahn]]. Casey finished the tournament at six-under-par, tied with Hahn and [[Dustin Johnson]]. After the trio all parred the first extra hole, Casey could only make a par on the second extra hole and was eliminated when Hahn and Johnson both got up and down for birdies from the green-side rough. Casey continued his good form in America the following week, when he finished in a tie for third at the [[Honda Classic]], one shot outside a playoff. Two weeks later he equalled his 2004 performance by finishing tied for 6th place in the [[2015 Masters]].

In 2016, Casey finished 2nd at both the [[Deutsche Bank Championship]] and the [[BMW Championship (PGA Tour)|BMW Championship]] before finishing 4th at the [[Tour Championship]] to finish 5th in the [[2016 FedEx Cup Playoffs]], his best career performance in the Playoffs.

In December 2015, Casey chose not to rejoin the European Tour for the following 2016 season, which made himself unavailable to qualify for the 2016 Ryder Cup.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Is Paul Casey not rejoining the European Tour because of a Ryder Cup snub by Colin Montgomerie five years ago?|url=https://www.golfdigest.com/story/is-paul-casey-not-rejoining-the-european-tour-because-of-a-ryder-cup-snub-by-colin-montgomerie-five-years-ago|access-date=2021-01-31|website=Golf Digest|language=en}}</ref> Casey reached the 15th position in the Official World Golf Rankings, just prior to the 2016 Ryder Cup, due to his in-form performances in the PGA Tour playoff tournaments immediately before the Ryder Cup event.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Paul Casey sounds dejected that he won't be at the Ryder Cup|url=https://www.golfdigest.com/story/paul-casey-sounds-dejected-that-he-wont-be-at-the-ryder-cup|access-date=2021-01-31|website=Golf Digest|language=en}}</ref> Casey admitted that he was hurt that he was not able to participate in the 2016 Ryder Cup, due to his decision then not to obtain European Tour member status, whilst others noted that England's most in-form golfer then, was remarkably absent from the premier golf team event.<ref>{{Cite web|last=|first=|date=2016-09-21|title=Paul Casey sounds dejected that he won't be at the Ryder Cup|url=https://www.golfdigest.com/story/paul-casey-sounds-dejected-that-he-wont-be-at-the-ryder-cup|access-date=2021-01-31|website=Golf Digest|language=en}}</ref>

Casey won the [[Valspar Championship]] in 2018, his first PGA Tour win in nine years.

In September 2018, Casey was named as a captain's pick by [[Thomas Bjørn]] for the European team participating in the [[2018 Ryder Cup]]. Europe defeated the U.S. team by a dominant margin of 17.5 to 10.5 at [[Le Golf National]] outside Paris, France. Casey went 1–1–1 including a  half in his singles match against [[Brooks Koepka]].<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.thespec.com/sports-story/8936168-europe-wins-back-ryder-cup-beating-us-17-1-2-10-1-2/ |title=Europe wins back Ryder Cup, beating US 17 1/2-10 1/2 |agency=The Canadian Press |newspaper=The Hamilton Spectator |access-date=29 October 2018 |date=30 September 2018}}</ref>

Casey missed a chance to win the 2019 [[AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am]], when he failed to convert a three-stroke 54-hole lead. He was chased down and passed by [[Phil Mickelson]], who claimed a three-stroke victory. Casey birdied the last during a Monday finish to claim solo second. He did however win the Pro-Am tournament with playing partner Don Colleran.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.pgatour.com/news/2019/02/11/paul-casey-solo-second-at-t-pebble-beach-pro-am-achieve-goal-genesis-open.html |title=After solo second, Casey hopes to achieve goal at Genesis Open |agency=PGA Tour|access-date=12 February 2019 |date=11 February 2019}}</ref>
