Grant Moorhead’s golfing exploits span the globe and include a history-making triumph for New Zealand sport.

His amateur performance includes being part of the winning Eisenhower World Championship team in 1992 – the only time a New Zealand team has won this event.

He also won many other individual trophies as an amateur, including the New Zealand Strokeplay Championship.

Grant has won 14 four-round tournaments as a professional around the world and chalked up another 23 wins in pro-am tournaments.

His professional golfing career began in the early 1990s with a record-setting win in the West Australian Open and during his career, he has won the New Zealand PGA Order of Merit twice and finished runner-up twice more.

A three-time winner of the overall Taranaki Sportsperson of the Year award, he has also picked up three Halberg Awards for sportsman and sports team of the year.

Now a qualified golf coach and on the Taranaki Golf executive committee, he is focused on coaching and mentoring while providing valuable input to create growth and improvements with clubs, competitions, player development and coaching programmes.
