Tbe 2013 World Golf Hall of Fame inductee claimed 15 PGA Tour titles (64 worldwide), his last coming in the 2003 Houston Open. Couples played collegiately at the University of Houston, where his roommate was future CBS lead play-by-play man Jim Nantz. At the age of 19, he defeated Don Bies in a playoff to capture the 1978 Washington State Open. He turned professional in 1980. He was named the PGA Tour Player of the Year in 1991 and 1992. Since turning 50, Couples has claimed 14 PGA Tour Champions titles, including 2011 Constellation Senior Players Championship and The Senior Open Championship in 2012 at the Turnberry Resort in Scotland. He was a member of five United States Ryder Cup Teams and four Presidents Cup Teams. He also captained three U.S. Presidents Cup Teams (2009, 2011, 2013).
