Eric Axley

Eric Allen Axley (born April 22, 1974) is an American professional golfer.

Early life Axley was born in Athens, Tennessee.

Professional career In 1997, Axley turned professional. He is one of the few natural left-handers to win on the Web.com Tour and PGA Tour.

In 2006, Axley won the Valero Texas Open, claiming his first PGA Tour win. After a poor 2009 season, Axley lost his PGA Tour playing rights. Axley divided his time among the NGA Hooters Tour, eGolf Professional Tour, Web.com Tour, and PGA Tour.

In 2014, Axley tried to play his way back to the PGA Tour through Monday qualifying and past champion status. Axley made seven cuts in ten events and finished 184th in the FedEx Cup standings, good enough for a trip to the Web.com Tour Finals. Axley finished 50th, the last position to earn a PGA Tour card and his first in five years, by just $31.66. After barely gaining a PGA Tour card, he barely missed getting it back for the 2015–16 season, just $101 behind Rob Oppenheim.
