Love, family and why the PNC Championship (still) matters to Lee Trevino
ORLANDO – When Lee Trevino started prepping to compete in this year’s PNC Championship, the World Golf Hall of Fame member and six-time major champion topped several balls on the range. Was arguably the best ball-striker in the game lifting his head? Say it ain’t so.
“I never, ever remember doing this in my life,” Trevino said.
His son, Daniel, 31, who is his partner in the two-person scramble format team event that begins on Saturday at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club, suggested he go see renowned instructor Randy Smith, who teaches world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler. But Trevino made a vow many years ago that he wouldn’t take a lesson from anybody that he could beat. Trevino dialed up Smith and when he answered he said, “Have you got 15 minutes to look at me? I think you can beat me now.”
The lesson helped. Trevino recounted on the Subpar podcast that five weeks ago he made a birdie and nine pars and shot 82 in a fundraiser at Dallas National.
“What are you complaining about?” Daniel said. “You broke your age.”
Trevino, 84, calls the PNC Championship his major and he talks about it all year. He’s played in every edition dating to the inaugural event in 1995 when 10 major winners gathered with their sons

Trevino tells all and then some in autobiography
Lee Trevino's autobiography, "They Call Me Super Mex," isn't exactly hot off the presses. It's more like lukewarm. But one part of it is iceberg cold. Last year, Trevino dedicated the book to his wife of 28 years, Claudia, "who not only loves me but is my best friend." This month, Claudia filed for divorce.
Trevino's forthright revelations to co-author Sam Blair include details of some of his more memorable spats with Claudia, including one in which she punched him out, inflicting visible damage. And the time at the 1968 PGA in San Antonio, where golf seemed to be secondary to partying. Trevino told a questioner, naw, he hadn't brought Claudia along because "You don't bring a ham sandwich to a banquet."
Trevino admits much of the pair's troubles stemmed from the fact when was drinking at parties he thought he was "invisible" and could flirt with every woman around. But late in the book Trevino said his he and Claudia had smoothed out their relationship.
Trevino's recollections aren't self-serving. He candidly details his financial problems, which stemmed from poor or at least premature choice of an agent and business partners.
And he doesn't include Lee Trevino in his ranking of the five greatest golfers he's ever seen: Jac
