The Paul Azinger Collection
Paul and Toni Azinger will be donating proceeds of this sale to benefit both the Florida Human Trafficking Victim’s Fund and One More Child, causes in which they are deeply moved by. The Golf Auction is proud to partner with the Azingers' in this fight and bring awareness to the subject. These organizations provide direct support to teens and young adults who have been exploited through commercial sex trafficking. As mentioned on their sites, they train professionals in the medical, law enforcement, hospitality, and education sectors to recognize signs of trafficking and help survivors work towards healing and restoration.

After 10 PGA Tour wins and 12 seasons playing at the highest level, 'The Zinger' broke through in a major way when he captured the 1993 PGA Championship at Inverness Club in Toledo, Ohio. Four birdies on the final seven holes to card a back 30, locked-in was an understatement. That eventual playoff triumph over Greg Norman would pair with his four Ryder Cups as a player and another captaining the victorious 2008 United States team at Valhalla atop his meritorious on-course resume.
The voice of a generation of golf, Paul Azinger began his television career alongside Johnny Miller at NBC in 1995 while recovering from chemotherapy after conquering non-Hodgkin lymphoma cancer. Awarded the 2000 PGA Tour Comeback Player of the Year after his 12th and final win at The Sony Open, Azinger would play several more successful years on the Tour before joining the booth again. In 2005 Azinger became lead analyst for most of the next two decades at ESPN/ABC Sports, Fox Sports and NBC/Golf Channel.
A walk-on at Brevard Community College in Florida's golf team in the late 1970's, Paul Azinger honed his craft to gain summer employment at Arnie's Bay Hill Golf Academy in Orlando. Exposure and a well-practiced game turned heads and extended a scholarship to the Division I Florida State University. While turning professional in 1981, it wouldn't be until the 1987 Phoenix Open when he would break through as part of a life-changing three-win campaign. He was only getting started. The Golf Auction presents select items from Paul Azinger's collection in this offering, an honor and for a great cause.
