Professional

Brooks has seven wins on the PGA Tour, including one major, the 1996 PGA Championship.

He was a member of the U.S. Presidents Cup team in 1996.

During his thirties, Brooks began a second career in golf course design, and was a partner in the firm of Knott-Linn-Brooks House based in Palo Alto, California.

His first major project, Southern Oaks Golf Club outside Fort Worth, opened in 1999.

The solo 2nd-place finish was Brooks' best on any tour since his runner-up finish to Retief Goosen at the 2001 U.S. Open.

After his 50th birthday in 2011, Brooks joined the Champions Tour.

He came close to his first victory in June at the Principal Charity Classic, but bogeys on his final two holes allowed Bob Gilder to win by one shot.

In August 2014, Brooks again finished in solo second on the Champions Tour, after losing a sudden death playoff to Scott Dunlap at the Boeing Classic.

In 2015 Brooks was hired by Fox Sports as an-course analyst for the network's U.S. Open coverage.

Brooks has the record for most starts on the PGA Tour with 803.
