Professional career
Rinker turned professional in 1979. He initially played on mini-tours before joining the PGA Tour in 1981, and regained his tour card via qualifying school for 1982, the first year of the all-exempt tour. His best year came in 1985, when he finished 30th on the money list. He never won on tour but recorded two runners-up finishes at the 1984 USF&G Classic and the 1985 Bing Crosby National Pro-Am. His best finish in a major was tied-12th at the 1992 Open Championship. He also finished T-15 at the 1982 U.S. Open. In the third round, he played in the final group with leader Bruce Devlin.
Since leaving the Tour, Rinker is now teaching full-time in Florida and has written three books, "Rinker's 5 Fundamentals," "The Upper Core Swing" and "The Journeyman." He was the host of a golf instruction show, "Rinker's Golf Tips," on SiriusXM PGA Tour Radio 2013-2020.
