(Ep 153) Robin Tiger Williams

In what is the 25th player interview this year for the podcast I was joined this time by new DP World Tour card holder & 2x Sunshine Tour title winner Robin 'Tiger' Williams as he phones in back home in Stellenbosch after playing the first event as a fully pledged DP World Tour player last week in Brisbane at BMW Australian PGA Championship. We find out about his experiences on Sunshine Tour over the last couple of years as well as finding out all about his meet up at 2018 Junior Ryder Cup with the big cat himself Tiger Woods who Robin is named after! Although Robin was born in town outside of Stellenbosch in South Africa's picturesque Western Cape. He and his family would move to the UK at the age of 8 years old spending the first year or so in Aberdeen before moving down south to Peterborough where the family still continue to reside! Until 2023 Robin would play all events at Amateur level and early pro level under the English flag and was a part of the European side at 2018 Junior Ryder Cup in Paris that on both sides boasted the likes of Hojgaard twins, David Puig, Akshay Bhatia, Michael Thorbjornsen, Rose Zhang, Ingrid Lindblad, Alexa Pano and Lucy Li. In 2019 Robin would win on the Professional MENA Tour as an Amateur winning by 8 shots to Jack Floydd. Since winning on Sunshine Tour in October 2023 at Fortress Invitational, Robin has gone from strength to strength making every cut on limited DPWT starts including losing in a Playoff at SDC Championship (DP) to Jordan Gumberg and finishing T4th in a world class field at Alfred Dunhill Links Championship as well as successfully defending his Fortress Invitational crown. A talented player that could go very far, very measured head on such young shoulders. It was great to chat with Robin.
