A senior golfer who won the 1968 U.S. Amateur Championship and later became a multiple-time winner on the PGA Tour Champions. He's known for his successful transition from amateur to professional golfer.
Bruce Fleisher, an American professional golfer, is renowned for his extraordinary achievements on the green, earning him 35 professional wins, including one PGA Tour victory and 18 Champions Tour titles. His remarkable career spanned over four decades, leaving an indelible mark on the world of golf.
Fleisher was born on October 16, 1948, in Union City, Tennessee, to a Jewish family. When his family relocated to Wilmington, North Carolina, in 1950, Fleisher's fascination with golf began, often accompanying his brothers, Leslie and Jerry, to the course. By age 14, the Fleishers had moved to Miami, Florida, where Fleisher honed his skills, winning the U.S. Amateur Championship in 1968, becoming the third-youngest player to do so.
Fleisher turned pro in 1969, following an impressive amateur career. Although his regular tournament career was modest, with only one PGA Tour victory, the 1991 New England Classic, he made a significant impact on the Champions Tour (now PGA Tour Champions). Fleisher's exceptional performances earned him 18 wins, including the 2001 U.S. Senior Open, a senior major. His remarkable achievements in his inaugural season on the Champions Tour led to him being awarded both Player of the Year and Rookie of the Year in 1999.
Fleisher resided in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, with his wife, Wendy. His life was marked by dedication to his craft and a commitment to giving back to the golf community. Fleisher passed away on September 23, 2021, at the age of 72, leaving behind a legacy that will inspire generations of golfers to come.
