Paul Goydos wife: Is Paul Goydos remarried?
He never remarried.
His ex-wife Wendy Medak died of a possible drug overdose (pending toxicology report) while attempting to treat migraines in 2009.
His second Champions Tour victory came on February 8, 2015, when he took home the Allianz Championship in Boca Raton, Florida. He earned more than $1 million by the time his 2015 season was over.
In Endicott, New York, on July 10, 2016, he triumphed in the Dick’s Sporting Goods Open, his third PGA Tour Champions competition. He defeated Wes Short Jr. by two shots with a score of 67-66-69. His drive on the par-4, less than 300-yard 16th hole served as the tournament’s hallmark shot. On Saturday, it landed fewer than 10 feet from the hole, and he made the putt for an eagle 2. With this accomplishment, he was able to receive more than $15 million from his cumulative winnings in addition to the $300,000 first prize check.
