BIO
Paul is a multiple European Tour champion and also has three PGA tour titles. He now plays most of his golf Stateside. He had a relatively quiet 2021 apart from his win at the Dubai Desret Classic.
In 2019, Casey won the Porsche European Open and the Valspar Championship - he defended the Valspar after winning it in 2018. Casey was in a habit of throwing away tournaments in his grasp but has since become more clinical in the mix.
Casey is an extremely solid driver of the ball which means he can contend anywhere. He will be aiming to bag his maiden major in the next few years before he starts to decline.

March 2022
➖ Casey Started a couple fo shots back at the weather affected PLAYERS Championship and shot 69 to finish two back of winner Smith. It should be noted he landed in a plug mark on the fairway on 16 which meant he had to lay up so an extremely unlucky break.

Significant Quotes
The American Express, 2021
"I've been working on lots. I've been working on lots. It's probably the best -- what have I been working on? I don't know, everything, basically. But it's been one of the better off-seasons I've had in a long, long time, and you never know what that sort of parlays into for a season, but I feel really good about the golf game. So we'll see."
