Roll of Honour

Did you know?

In 2008 Chappell took top collegiate honours as the NCAA Division I men's indvidual champion, joining the likes of Jack Nicklaus, Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods in winning this coveted title. At the end of that momentous year he was ranked the No.3 amateur player in the world, and received the University of California's Jack Nicklaus Award as their player of the year.

Turning professional in 2008, Chappell became a consistent performer on the PGA Tour from 2011, but had to wait until 2017 before recording his first win, which came at the Texas Valero Open. The win earned him a place on the 2017 Presidents Cup team.
