Jim is one of the most consistent shot makers on the PGA Tour. The action in his golf swing is easily recognizable to millions of golf enthusiasts following the PGA Tour. His father has been his only golf instructor. In early 2004, Jim underwent wrist surgery and began his comeback as the defending champion at the 2004 U.S. Open. During that time, he fell to 21st in the World Golf Rankings. In 2005 and 2006 PGA Tour season, Jim has played consistent golf, and finished the 2006 PGA Tour season 2nd in the World Golf Ranking and Official Money. Jim finished tied for second at the 2007 U.S. Open at Oakmont, but secured a win during the 2007 season with a solid performance at the Canadian Open.
Davis stepped back into the winners circle for the first time since 2003 with a win at the Chrysler Classic of Greensboro in 2006. The win moved him from 39th on the PGA Tour money list to 15th, qualifying him for his 16th TOUR Championship. He ended the season 16th on the TOUR money list, the 15th time in his 21-year career he has finished in the Top 20 on the PGA Tour. In 2007, Davis played well early on but injury has kept him from playing his best. During the off-season, Davis broke his ankle and is currently undergoing a vigorous, yet steady physical therapy program from his trainer Randy Myers at Sea Island. Davis is planning to return to action at the AT&T Pro-Am in February.
Coming off a career year in 2006, where he collected his second PGA Tour title and earned a spot in the season-ending TOUR Championship for the first time in his five-year PGA Tour career, the Australian-native played consistent golf making 22 cuts out of 25 events. Rod relied on the Proforce V2 shaft in his driver to put himself in position to go for the green on par fives more than 60% of the time. That’s why he is 3rd in eagles made on the PGA Tour in 2007
