Mark Joseph Wilson
(born October 31, 1974) is an American
professional golfer
who plays on the
PGA Tour
. In 1996, he received the
Ben Hogan Award
, given by Friends of Golf and the
Golf Coaches Association of America
, to the best college golf player in the United States. Wilson turned professional in 1997 and played on the
NGA Hooters Tour
for the early part of his career, where he won three times between 1998-2001. He then won his PGA Tour card for the 2003 season after finishing T17 at the
Q School
in 2002. In his first full season on tour, Wilson narrowly missed out on retaining his card when he finished 128th on the money list. He held conditional status for the 2004 PGA Tour season and alternated between the PGA Tour and
Nationwide Tour
for the season. He then regained his tour card for 2005 season at Q School and finished the year with three top-10 finishes including a T3 at the
Valero Texas Open
, which at the time was his best finish on the PGA Tour. He continued with conditional status in 2006 after finishing 133rd on the money list in 2005, then again regained full status at the 2006 Q School for the 2007 season. Wilson won for the first time on the PGA Tour at the
Honda Classic
in March 2007, where he triumphed in a four-way playoff. He won the tournament on the third extra hole after being tied with
José Cóceres
,
Camilo Villegas
and
Boo Weekley
at 5-under-par. This victory lifted Wilson into the top 100 of the
Official World Golf Ranking
for the first time in his career.
Wilson has since won the 2009
Mayakoba Golf Classic at Riviera Maya-Cancun
, the 2011
Sony Open in Hawaii
and the 2011
Waste Management Phoenix Open
where he triumphed in a playoff against
Jason Dufner
.

The Sony Open victory earned Wilson his first trip to the
Masters
. Wilson earned his fifth PGA Tour victory at the 2012
Humana Challenge
, holding off the challenge of
Robert Garrigus
,
Johnson Wagner
and
John Mallinger
by two strokes. He finished at 24-under-par, helped by a second round 62 which included eight birdies and an eagle.

With the win, he moved to a career high of 40th in the
Official World Golf Ranking
. The following month, Wilson enjoyed a good run at the
WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship
where he made it all the way to the semi-finals before losing to eventual champion
Hunter Mahan
, 2&1. He did however win the consolation match to finish third, defeating world number three
Lee Westwood
, 1 up. In his run for the semi-finals, Wilson beat
Bo Van Pelt
(3&2),
Robert Rock
(3&2),
Dustin Johnson
(4&3) and
Peter Hanson
(4&3). This was Wilson' best showing at a WGC event and he moved to a career high 24th in the world ranking. For the first time since joining the PGA Tour, Wilson played the 2016-17 season out of the past champion's category. Wilson now works full time as a golf commentator for PGA Tour Live, found on NBC Sports App. He played just three PGA Tour events in 2019, getting in from his status as a past champion.
