Tom Weiskopf: Home in the Big SkyTom Weiskopf is right at home on a golf course. He has more than 20 professional victories in a long, successful career on the PGA Tour and Champions Tour to his name—including a win in the 1973 British Open Championship at Troon. Now he is one of this country’s most respected golf course designers.

golf course is one of two that Weiskopf designed within 40 miles of his property.

Although he has kept a residence in Arizona since 1973, he says of his second home in Big Sky country, “I dearly love the outdoors and I cannot think of another place that allows me to so easily do what I want to do: fish, hunt and ride horses.
“My job does not demand location,” Weiskopf says. “I have the choice of many wonderful places—I can live anywhere.” In Montana, though, he says he feels at home. “I can be who I am, and enjoy the things I like to do. All my friends love it here. My daughter, Heidi, likes to fish when she is here; my son, Eric, likes to hunt.”
Weiskopf calls his 22-acre ranch “small compared to Montana ranches, but it’s big in my mind. There are huge cottonwood trees protecting the house, a stream just below, wonderful views of the Spanish Peaks Mountains, and every day I see white-tail deer in my backyard.”
