A former delivery driver turned pro golfer from Southport is currently tied in fourth at the PGA Championship in Wentworth
Matt Baldwin, the former foursomes partner of Tommy Fleetwood, who also worked as a delivery driver for Amazon to fund his rise through the golfing ranks, playing a fantastic game and currently sits tied in fourth place in the tournament.
Earlier this week Matt found himself in pole position with eyes set on a mouthwatering £1.15million cash pot.
While the lead has now been stolen by American rival Thriston Lance, Matt Baldwin has fought hard and currently sits 17 under for the day.
If he stays in contention he’ll land an impressive and well deserved payout of around £400,000.
The 38-year-old won his first DP World Tour title in South Africa last year, but admitted he had considered quitting the game on several occasions as he battled to keep his card.
“I had three or four months working at Amazon driving a van just to see me through the winter before the Challenge Tour started in 2022,” said Baldwin, who lost his card in 2016 but regained it for 2018 after a sixth visit to the qualifying school.
