Height: 6'3"

Having published six books on golfing and now operating golf academies around the world, David Leadbetter is thought by many to be the world’s greatest golf instructor. Originally from Worthing in Sussex, England, Leadbetter began his pro career on the European and South African Tours. Along the way, he began to take more of an interest in teaching golf techniques than playing the game. In the 15 years that he’s been an instructor, Leadbetter has worked with several No. 1 ranked players. His golf academies are located across North America, Europe and Asia.
