Sixteen\u002Dtime PGA Tour winner, age 79, was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in December 2020
Weiskopf died Saturday at his home in Big Sky, Montana, his wife said. He was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in December 2020. He was 79.
Weiskopf had four runner-up finishes in the Masters, the most of any player without having won the green jacket. Most memorable was in 1975, when Weiskopf and Johnny Miller stood on the 16th tee as they watched Nicklaus hole a 40-foot birdie putt up the slope that carried him to another victory. Weiskopf was plenty good in so many areas, and yet he often said he didn’t make the most out of his talent. He attributed much of that to drinking, which he once said ruined his golf career. He gave up alcohol in 2007 and considered it one of his great victories.
“I could not accept failure when it was my fault,” he said after winning the U.S. Senior Open in 2005 at Congressional. “It just used to tear me up.”Article content
