A former top-10 player in the Official World Golf Ranking, Watney enjoyed immense success on the premier US circuit, claiming prestigious titles such as the WGC-Cadillac Championship and The Barclays (the opening leg of the FedExCup Playoffs). His elite play also earned him a spot representing the United States in international team competition, featuring on the winning Presidents Cup team in 2011.
