Aaron Baddeley is a well-known American-Australian professional golfer. He has five professional wins, two from PGA Tour (US) and three from PGA Tour of Australasia. Currently he plays in the U S based PGA tour but represents Australia in professional golf. Baddeley holds both American and Australian citizenship
From the age of 13, Aaron Baddeley --otherwise known as "Badds" to his fans -- dreamed of making golf his profession. Since then, the Aussie has become one of the PGA Tour's hottest young players. In 2004, Badds joined GOLF MAGAZINE as Contributing Player, where he will be offering playing tips and personal insight to life on Tour.
Aaron Baddeley will go for the Sonora Desert Double this week. Earlier this year, Baddeley won his second PGA TOUR title when he captured the FBR Open at the TPC Scottsdale. Baddeley, a native Australian who lives in Scottsdale, is in the field this week and is 10th on the money list, with $3,441,119 in season earnings.
From 2002 Aaron Baddeley started his career in the United States and began by playing on the second-tier Nationwide Tour. He was ranked tenth on the money list which earned him a PGA Tour card for the year 2003. He had second place finishes both at the Sony Open in Hawaii of the 2003 PGA Tour as well as at the Chrysler Classic of Tuscon in 2004. However Baddeley struggled to find consistency in his form and just managed to retain his card in 2004 when he came 124th.
In 1999, Aaron Baddeley, aka Badds, made a serious blip on the golf radar screen by winning the Australian Open as an amateur at age 18. The next year he defended that title and won as a pro, followed by another victory in 2001 at the Greg Norman Holden International. Baddeley joined the PGA Tour in 2003, and has become as popular a golf fashion icon as he is a focused young gun on tour.

For two consecutive years in 2000 and 2001 Baddeley continued to win the PGA Tour of Australia’s Order of Merit.
