Notah Ryan Begay III was born on September 14, 1972, in Albuquerque, New Mexico. He is a Native American of Navajo, San Felipe, and Isleta descent. Begay attended Stanford University, where he achieved a three-time All-American status and contributed to Stanford’s victory in the 1994 NCAA Division I Men’s Golf Championship. In 1995, he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Economics before turning professional.
He emerged onto the professional golf scene, famously shooting a 59 in the second round of the Nike Tour Dominion Open in 1998, a rare feat in professional golf. This performance helped him secure a spot on the PGA Tour for the 1999 season. From September 1999 to July 2000, Begay achieved four PGA Tour victories, including back-to-back wins, showcasing his competitive ability. His highest ranking in the Official World Golf Rankings was 19th in August 2000.
After his playing career was affected by back injuries, Begay became a golf analyst for the Golf Channel and NBC Sports in 2013, providing expert commentary and on-course reporting for major PGA TOUR events and the NCAA Golf Championships. Beyond his media roles, Begay is actively involved in philanthropic efforts, founding the Notah Begay III Foundation in 2005 to promote health and wellness for Native American youth, and NB3 Consulting in 2002 to assist tribal communities with golf course development.
