Professional career
In 1973, Edwards turned professional. In 1975, he joined the PGA Tour and won five official tour events. His first victory came at the 1977 Greater Greensboro Open – the only event he would win twice. His best finish in a major was T-5 at the 1974 British Open. [1] Edwards would earn more than three dozen top-10 finishes in Tour events; his final win came at the 1985 Pensacola Open.
In 1982, two months after winning his second Greater Greensboro Open he donned a racing helmet and won the June Sprints, one of the country's most prestigious automobile races, in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin. He is the only PGA Tour professional to accomplish the crossover victory feat in the two sports.
In the summer of 1988, after 14 years on the PGA Tour, and never losing exempt status, Edwards stepped away from competitive golf and founded Royal Grip Inc., in Scottsdale, Arizona. The company would become its own revolution in advancing and improving perhaps the most essential piece of golf equipment. ceomees he turned his attention to the business world. In 1998, Edwards became CEO of GreenFix Golf, a company that manufactures a tool that enables players and maintenance crews to repair ball marks to golf greens. In 2019, he founded The Chipping Equation, a revolutionary yet simple system that is geared to helping golfers of all abilities learn and perfect one forgotten yet key segment of the game.
In April 2022, Edwards wrote his first book, DRIVEN - The Danny Edwards Story (with Bob Denney), which was published by Classics of Golf, www.ClassicsofGolf.com, Amazon, Kindle, and Apple. [2]
