Paul Lawrie made an immediate impact on the Legends Tour, winning the Scottish Senior Open in his debut season and securing the 2019 Rookie of the Year award after finishing 11th on the Order of Merit. He added two more titles in 2022, going wire-to-wire at the Farmfoods European Legends Links Championship before defeating Michael Jonzon in a play-off to capture the Farmfoods European Senior Masters.
A Major Champion, Lawrie’s crowning moment came at Carnoustie in 1999 when he overturned Jean Van de Velde’s collapse to win The Open in a four-hole play-off. Affectionately nicknamed “Chippy” for his sharp short game, he has also played in two Ryder Cups—1999 at Brookline and the “Miracle at Medinah” in 2012, where his 5&3 singles win over Brandt Snedeker helped Europe to one of the most famous comebacks in sporting history. He later served as vice-captain to Darren Clarke in 2016.
An eight-time DP World Tour winner with 621 appearances, Lawrie was honoured with an MBE in 2000 and an OBE in 2013 for his services to golf, particularly his work in developing the game in Scotland through the Paul Lawrie Foundation and his Golf Centre in Aberdeen. He was also appointed a Non-Executive Director on the European Tour Board in 2022.
In 2025, Lawrie continued to show his consistency on the Legends Tour, with highlights including a 6th place finish at the Reignwood Legends Championship, top-20 results at the ISPS HANDA Senior Open and Senior Open Championship, and further strong showings at Costa Navarino and the Staysure PGA Seniors Championship.
