Early life Edit

Gallagher was born in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. His father, a career club pro, started him in golf at age six. His sister, Jackie, and brother, Jeff, both became touring professionals.

He attended the University of Tennessee in Knoxville.

Professional career Edit

Gallagher turned pro in 1983 and joined the PGA Tour in 1984. He won five events on the PGA Tour. His first win came in 1990 at the Greater Milwaukee Open. In 1993, he won twice: the Anheuser-Busch Golf Classic and The Tour Championship. He repeated his two-win performance in 1995 by winning the KMart Greater Greensboro Open and the FedEx St. Jude Classic. Gallagher's best finishes in a major championship were a 3rd-place finish at the 1991 PGA Championship, and a T-2 at the same tournament the following year.[2] He was a member of the victorious 1993 Ryder Cup team and the 1994 Presidents Cup team.

Gallagher, who works as a golf analyst for Golf Channel, has appeared in a limited number of events on the Champions Tour since reaching age 50 in 2011. He had two top-10 finishes in this venue in both 2011 and 2013.

Personal life Edit

Gallagher's wife, Cissye, is a former LPGA Tour player. They have four children: Mary Langdon, Thomas, Kathleen, and Elizabeth. Kathleen plays golf at LSU.[3]

Gallagher lives in Greenwood, Mississippi.[3]
