Still just 28 years old, Luke Donald's rise to the top of the golf world has been nothing short of meteoric. After winning the individual NCAA title in 1999 - beating the scoring record previously set by Tiger Woods - he turned professional in 2001. Three years later, he won the European Masters and the Scandinavian Masters, and he was a member of the victorious European Ryder Cup team.

Born on the 7 th December 1977, Luke Donald is a relatively young golf player to have reached such a prestigious position in the world golf rankings, although players like Tiger Woods might not agree. At the age of just 31, Tiger Woods has swung his golf clubs to become an international phenomenon, breaking numerous golf records on the greens.

Luke Donald, one of the brightest young stars on both the PGA and European Tours has signed a multi-year contract extension with the Mizuno Corporation to continue serving as a Mizuno Brand Ambassador around the world. For performance in his precision iron game, Donald relies on the performance of his Mizuno MP-32 irons with award-winning Cut Muscle technology. Around the greens, where Luke demonstrates great touch, he trusts the feel and consistency of Mizuno’s MP T Series wedges, and for longer shots from a variety of lies he looks to his Mizuno FLI-HI CLK hybrid to launch it high and land it soft. On the putting surface, Luke chooses the solid feel and distance control of his new Mizuno Bettinardi putter, which Mizuno recently debuted. Donald will continue to carry a Mizuno Staff Bag along with Mizuno headcovers and umbrella, and wear his trademark Mizuno visor throughout the length of the agreement.
