1985 BYU Hall of Fame

Mike Reid learned at an early age that golf was a game he could play anywhere, anytime and with anyone. As the son of an Air Force officer, that was important, because the game was something he found he had in common with others wherever the family moved.

In 1973 Mike came to BYU. Coach Karl Tucker remembers Mike at that time as a shy kid, who almost seemed afraid of his own shadow. But with a golf club in his hand, he became as secure as the rest of them. Though not known for the length of his drives, he earned the nickname "Radar" for their accuracy - his shots invariably land in the direct center of the fairway or green, or only a few feet on either side of it.

He was an All-American in 1974 and 1975 and Western Athletic Conference Champion in 1975. In addition, all four years he played for BYU (1973-1976) the "Y" won the WAC title. In 1976 Mike was the Pacific Coast Amateur Champion.

Mike went professional in the fall of 1976, obtaining his PGA Tour card on his first attempt. Reid finished in the top-10 70 times on the PGA Tour and became the first golfer to earn a million dollars prior to winning a single professional tournament.

Mike ended a wait of over a decade for his first PGA Tour title by winning the 1987 Seiko Tucson Open by four strokes, then in 1988, Mike won his second PGA Tour title by defeating Tom Watson in a playoff at the NEC World Series of Golf. On the Senior PGA Tour, Mike claimed his first senior title at the Senior PGA Championship, which is one of the senior majors. In 2009, he won another major, The Tradition, in a playoff.
