Luke Campbell Donald (Hemel Hempstead, 7 dicembre 1977) è un golfista britannico.

Biografia

Nonostante il padre fosse scozzese, Luke Donald nacque ad Hemel Hempstead, nello Hertfordshire (pertanto si auto-definisce mezzo scozzese). Cominciò a giocare col fratello, che ben presto divenne il suo caddie. Cominciò subito a vincere i suoi primi tornei già dall'età di 15 anni. Frequentò in gioventù la Royal Grammar School (High Wycombe).

Presto migrò in America per studiare al College Prospects of America, sotto gli ordini del golfista Martin Laird. Si fece presto un nome, tanto che i maggiori college americani lo vollero in squadra in cambio di una borsa di studio. Venne accettato anche a Stanford, ma non riuscì ad entrarvi per problemi non legati al golf. "Ripiegò" dunque sulla Northwestern University nell'anno domini 1997, dove studiò arte, e dove entrò perfino in una confraternita. Sotto gli ordini del coach Pat Goss vinse il titolo singolare della NCAA Division I nel 1999, battendo il record appartenuto a Tiger Woods.

Il 29 maggio 2011, dopo la vittoria al BMW Pga Championship di Virginia Waters (all'ultimo colpo contro il connazionale Lee Westwood, anche lui in lizza per il primato mondiale oltre che per il Torneo), diventa il Numero 1 del Ranking mondiale per la prima volta in carriera.

Vita privata

Nel 2007 a Santorini (Grecia) ha sposato Diane Antonopoulos[2]: i due hanno due figlie, nate rispettivamente nel 2010 e nel 2011[3]. Tra gli sponsor personali, la IMG (dal 2003), la RBC, la Mizuno Corp (con cui collabora anche come consulente tecnico per il golf[4]) e Ralph Lauren (annunciata nel febbraio 2007[5], in realtà vestiva per loro nei tornei dal 2002).
