Mike Weir

Mike Weir is best known as a Canadian professional golfer who won the Masters Tournament in 2003, becoming the only Canadian man to capture a major championship. Born May 12, 1970, the left-handed player spent over 110 weeks in the top ten of the Official World Golf Ranking between 2001 and 2005 and currently competes on the PGA Tour Champions.

Beyond competitive play, Weir has lent his name to course design work in Canada. His portfolio in Course Vaults includes layouts at Golf Elm Ridge (both the North and South courses) in Ile Bizard, Québec, along with Red Deer Golf & Country Club in Alberta and Saskatoon Golf & Country Club in Saskatchewan. These projects reflect his connection to Canadian golf and his interest in shaping courses in his home country.

While details of his design philosophy and collaborative arrangements are not extensively documented, his involvement signals the transition many accomplished tour professionals make into architecture after competing at the highest level.
