Greensboro, Ga. (May 4, 2009) - Sean O'Hair not only has a new title under his belt and a new baby on the way, he also is the new representative of Reynolds Plantation on the PGA Tour.
One of golf's hottest young stars, the 26-year-old O'Hair has vacationed frequently at Reynolds Plantation, the golf and lake community where he and his family now are members. O'Hair stayed at Reynolds Plantation while preparing for what has become the most successful spring of his career. His victory Sunday at the Quail Hollow Championship vaulted O'Hair to No. 3 on the Tour money list and to No. 12 in the world rankings.
"We are thrilled to have Sean O'Hair serve as an ambassador for Reynolds Plantation on the PGA Tour," said Mercer Reynolds, Chairman of Reynolds Plantation. "Sean and his family have developed an affinity for Reynolds Plantation, as it provides a wonderful, activity-filled getaway, as well as a place to work on his golf game and equipment."
O'Hair has been among the TaylorMade-adidas Golf Tour Professional staff to utilize The Kingdom at Reynolds Plantation, where the pros sharpen their technique, test and fine-tune equipment, thanks to the on-site TaylorMade Tour Trailer.
"I am excited about my partnership with Reynolds Plantation," O'Hair said. "I always look forward to going there. It is a fantastic place for golfers and is really cool for families, too."
O'Hair and his family enjoy the various lifestyle amenities offered throughout the Lake Oconee community. O'Hair and his wife, Jackie, are expecting their third child.
With his third career Tour win Sunday, O'Hair has earned more than $2.9 million this year, already a single-season high. Recognized as one of the most consistent players on the Tour, O'Hair is No. 1 in scoring average on the PGA Tour and leads in the All-Around ranking as well, with six Top 10s in 10 starts this year.
Reynolds Plantation has been named the "Best of the Best" Golf Community by Robb Report and the community with the "Best Golf" in America by the editors of GOLF Magazine. Member residents enjoy five courses crafted by the most sought-after names in golf course design (with a sixth on the way to be designed by Pete Dye), as well as access to more than 80 miles of shoreline along Georgia's second-largest lake, the Lake Club Wellness Center and world-class Tennis Center. And it's all complemented by the AAA Five Diamond Award-winning Ritz-Carlton Lodge, Reynolds Plantation.
