Australian professional golfer who became the first Australian to win the Masters Tournament in 2013 and former World No. 1 ranked player.

Adam Scott is Australia's finest golfer and a former world number one who captured Australia's first Masters title at Augusta National in 2013 after a dramatic birdie-birdie finish in a playoff against Angel Cabrera. A classically elegant ball-striker with one of golf's most aesthetically pleasing swings, Scott has been one of the sport's premier players for two decades. His switch from a long putter to a conventional blade was seen as one of golf's bravest decisions.
