About
In 1997, Love won his first major championship, published an award-winning autobiography, and opened his first golf course—all in the same year.
Davis Love III is an acclaimed American golf course architect and champion professional golfer, born in 1964 in Charlotte, North Carolina. Love rose to prominence on the PGA Tour, with over 20 career wins, including the 1997 PGA Championship, and appearances on six Ryder Cup and six Presidents Cup teams. Beyond his playing career, Love founded Love Golf Design, alongside his brother Mark, in the 1990s. Their first course opened in South Carolina in 1997. Love has since created and renovated more than two dozen courses, working in prestigious golf locations such as Myrtle Beach, Sea Island, and Hilton Head. His approach emphasizes fun and enjoyment, blending classic design elements with the characteristics of the local landscape, and often collaborating closely with talented associates. Notably, his Love Course at Barefoot Resort in Myrtle Beach stands out as a signature project, acclaimed for its charm and playability.
