Lee Trevino - The Merry Mex

A gifted if unorthodox player, Trevino, known as the Merry Mex, is gregarious and talkative, usually chatting nonstop around the course. He is a fan favorite, who adds a sense of showmanship and fun to a sport that often emphasizes reserve and rectitude. Known for his easy laugh and sometimes sharp wit, he has an uncanny ability to focus, relax, and refocus his way around a golf course that can unnerve his competitors who don't possess the same gift. Married for the third time, Trevino has two children with his wife, Claudia, and four children from his previous marriages. Trevino summed up his simple golfing philosophy that has carried him through his 35-year career with a characteristically caustic bit of wisdom: "The two things that don't last," he told Sports Illustrated, "are pros putting for bogey and dogs chasin' cars."
