Early life
Roberts was born in San Luis Obispo, California. He competed for San Luis Obispo Senior High School and California Polytechnic State University. In 1975, he turned professional after his sophomore season due to the university's dropping its NCAA Division II golf team.
Professional career
Roberts served for Dennis Pogue as an assistant pro at San Luis Obispo Golf and Country Club as well as Morro Bay Golf Course in the 1970s. He was third in 1980 and won the Foot-Joy PGA Assistant Professional Championship. After his 1979 PGA triumph, he briefly competed in the PGA Tour of Australasia.
Roberts earned his PGA Tour card at the 1981 PGA Tour Qualification Tournament for the fifth time on his fifth attempt. He returned to the tournament in 1981, 1982, 1986, and 1987, receiving his card every year except 1981. He didn't win on the PGA Tour until 1994 at the age of 38, but it did win nine out of eight races during the nine-seasons. His career earnings have hit more than $30 million. He is known as "Boss of the Moss" because of his putting skills. He has been ranked in the top 20 of the Official World Golf Rankings.
At the 1994 United States Open, Roberts' highest finish in a major was tied for 2nd place. He and Ernie Els and Colin Montgomerie competed in an 18-hole playoff round. Montgomerie was disapproved. Els was given the title by a pair of sudden-death holes.
In the 1995 Ryder Cup, 1994 and 2000 Presidents Cups, and the 2001 UBS Warburg Cup, Roberts competed for the United States. He was 3–1 at the Ryder Cup, 4-2-1 at the Presidents Cup, and 1–2 at the UBS Warburg Cup. Only the Ryder Cup team lost out on all four team competitions. He served as a co-assistant captain for the 2006 Ryder Cup, which was also lost to the European team.
Roberts went without a PGA Tour card for the 2007 and 2008 seasons, focusing on being among the top 50 in career earnings, despite being among the top 50 in career earnings. He used the waiver for the 2009 season.
Roberts joined the Champions Tour in 2005. In his third appearance at the JELD-WEN Tradition, one of five senior majors, he earned his first senior victory. In a two-hole sudden-death playoff, he defeated Dana Quigley.
With three victories, Roberts became the first golfer to open a Champions Tour season. He won his second senior major by beating Eduardo Romero in a playoff at the Senior British Open earlier this season. He received the Byron Nelson Award for the lowest average stroke total per round.
After defeating Fred Funk and Mark McNulty in a playoff, he captured his second Senior British Open title in 2009. He won the Boeing Classic in August, where he denied Mark O'Meara his first Champions Tour victory and defeated him by a single stroke after making birdie on the 18th hole. He was named Player of the Year by the GWAA.
He set a new low golf record in association with par (25-under) and the majority birdies (26) as well as his lowest ranking (191) after his 54-hole tournament record (21-under). The marks were largely due to a career-best 61 in the final round of the 2006 MasterCard Championship at Hualalai's victory.
