Luke Donald
Age: 34
From: England
As the first player to win money lists on both sides of the Atlantic last year. Donald was World No 1 for 40 consecutive weeks between May 2011 and March 2012, and has spent a cumulative total of 55 weeks in the top spot. His father was born in Scotland, and Donald has been known to describe himself as half-Scottish, though he’ll feel at home playing at the Ryder Cup in Illinois, having studied at Northwestern University, where he studied art theory and practice on a golf scholarship. He is an avid art collector, and enjoys painting and drawing in his free time – one of his oil paintings was auctioned for charity at a PGA Tour fundraiser.
