Wayne Grady: Pga Championship
built 254 days ago
SYDNEY — Wayne Grady, chairman of the Australasian PGA Tour, says that golf does not need a drug code, disputing comments by fellow pro Craig Parry that one is needed to help curb drug use. On Thursday, Parry reignited the issue of drugs in the sport, saying that several top players have won important tournaments in recent years while using beta-blockers — pills that steady the nerves. Grady, who won the 1990 U.S. PGA championship, became Australasian PGA chairman two weeks ago when Jack Newton resigned after six years.

Grady and his family moved back to Australia in the late 1990s and he has played sparingly since while getting involved in several businesses. He is 14 years removed from his last victory of any kind, at the 1993 Indonesian PGA Championship.

In 16 years on the regular USPGA Tour, which effectively ended in 1999, Grady, now 47, earned just over $2.57 million. How times have changed - Vijay Singh, in winning the Wachovia Championship at the weekend, picked up $1.28 million; Grady, when he won the US PGA championship in 1990, collected just $290,000.
