Adam Scott was born on July 16, 1980, in Adelaide, Australia. He began playing golf at the age of four and was initially coached by his father. When he was seven, his family relocated to Queensland, where he developed a fondness for beach surfing by the age of 13. At that age, he also beat his father in a game of golf for the first time—a moment that impressed and encouraged his family.
By 17, Scott was enrolled at Kooralbyn International School, an institution renowned for its golf program. Even during his school years, he stood out for his talent compared to his peers. After three years at Kooralbyn, he moved to the United States to attend college and pursue his golf career further. He joined the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), and turned professional in 2000. In 2013, Adam Scott made history by becoming the first Australian to win the Masters Tournament.
Scott began his education at Matthew Flinders Anglican College at the age of nine. He then attended The Southport School before completing his high school studies at Kooralbyn International School. He later continued his higher education at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), where he further developed his golf skills and prepared for a professional career in the sport.
Adam Scott turned professional in 2000 following a strong performance on the European Tour, where his best result that year was a sixth-place finish at the Linde German Masters. His professional career gained traction in 2001 when he won the European Tour’s Alfred Dunhill Championship in South Africa.
In 2002, Scott secured victories at both the Qatar Masters and the Scottish PGA Championship. That same year, he made his debut appearance at the Masters Tournament, finishing in an impressive ninth place. These performances quickly established him as a rising star in the global golf scene.
In 2003, Scott faced Tiger Woods at the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship but was defeated. Nevertheless, he rebounded by winning the Scandinavian Masters and the Deutsche Bank Championship. His momentum continued in 2004 with a win at The Players Championship, followed by victories at the 2005 Nissan Open and the Johnnie Walker Classic in Beijing.
By 2007, he had notched his fifth PGA Tour win, adding the Shell Houston Open to his achievements. In 2008, he clinched victories at the Qatar Masters and the EDS Byron Nelson Championship. However, 2009 marked a challenging year as he fell out of the top 50 in the world rankings and finished 108th on the PGA Tour money list. Despite the slump, Scott ended the year on a high note by winning the Australian Open and later the PGA Tour's Valero Texas Open.
In 2011, he made a significant return by finishing second at the Masters Tournament alongside fellow Australian Jason Day. His breakthrough came in 2013 when he became the first Australian to win the Masters Tournament, held at Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia. That same year, he followed his historic win with victories at The Barclays and the Australian PGA Championship.
Adam Scott's triumph at the 2013 Masters Tournament marked a pivotal moment in his career. Amid high pressure and global competition, his steady composure and technical excellence led him to secure the famous green jacket, making him the first Australian to win the prestigious event. His victory at Augusta National remains one of the most celebrated achievements in Australian golf history.
In 2014, Adam Scott married Marie Kojzar, a Swedish architect, in a private ceremony. The couple had been in a long-term relationship, initially dating in the early 2000s before separating and later reuniting in 2013. In 2015, they welcomed their daughter, Bo Vera Scott.
Before his marriage, Scott was briefly in a public relationship with former tennis star Ana Ivanovic, though it ended after a year. Currently, Scott resides in his hometown and serves as a touring golf professional at the Palms Course at Sanctuary Cove in Queensland.
