An American golfer who later became a leading player on the PGA Senior tour was born on December 1, 1939, in Dallas, Texas, United States. He won 27 Professional Golfers' Association (PGA) titles. Trevino spent his childhood on and around the club's golf course. He dropped out of school at age 13 and worked on the course's grounds, practicing his game after work. After serving in the United States Marine Corps from 1957 to 1961, Trevino returned to Dallas and began to earn his living playing golf. He often defeated opponents using only one club for the entire course or using a drink bottle wrapped in tape as a club at a pitch-and-putt course. Trevino joined the PGA tour in 1967. In his first season he earned Rookie of the Year honors, and in 1968 he won the U.S. Open tournament. In 1970 he won the Vardon Trophy for the lowest scoring average on the tour and went on to win the Trophy four more times (1971, 1972, 1974, and 1980). In 1971 Trevino won three national tournaments the U.S. Open, in which he defeated Jack Nicklaus in a playoff for the title; the Canadian Open, which he won again in 1977 and 1979; and the British Open and was named PGA Player of the Year. In 1972 he won the British Open for a second time. In 1974 and again in 1984 he won the PGA championship tournament. Trevino joined the PGA Senior tour in 1990, continuing his success with wins at the Senior PGA Championship in 1992 and 1994 and Player of the Year honors in 1990, 1992, and 1994.
