I believe that Mike Weir is our best professional golfer that we have ever produced. His accomplishments are tremendous and I believe he is playing against more highly skilled players than ever before. Just this year he has 2 top 5 finishes and he constantly wins millions a year while possibly playing a limited schedule.

His Master victory alone could earn him this honor as being the only Canadian to win a Major golf Championship. He is currently tied with George Knudson for the most wins by a Canadian professional and I have a tremendous amount of respect for Mr. Knudson having worked with him and learned a great deal about the golf swing and would rank him a very close second, I believe that Mike will surpass this mark soon and go on to have a marvelous career that will be hard to beat by any present Canadian.

Mike Weir, although I have yet to meet him, also is a great role model for other Canadian kids, and should be an inspiration to them. His demeanor, respect and attitude is very healthy in this day and age where we sometime idolize people that are radical or living on the edge. My hats off to him in this regard for we recognize him for his golfing talents rather for some of the antics off the course. I do wish he would play more but I also respect his decision to spend time with other commitments. Well done Mike!
