- Rich Beem (* 24. August 1970 in Phoenix, Arizona) ist ein US-amerikanischer Profigolfer der PGA Tour. Beem wurde im Jahre 1994 Berufsgolfer, war aber anfangs wenig erfolgreich und arbeitete als Verkäufer von Autoradios und Handys. Erst 1999 konnte er sich für die PGA Tour qualifizieren und gewann im selben Jahr sein erstes Turnier, die Kemper Open. Im Jahr 2002 gelang Beem der nächste Erfolg, dem er eine Woche später seinen bislang größten Sieg folgen ließ – die PGA Championship, eines der vier Major-Turniere. Er verwies dabei den weltbesten Golfer Tiger Woods um einen Schlag auf den zweiten Platz. (de)

- Richard Michael Beem (born August 24, 1970) is an American professional golfer who played on the PGA Tour and is best known for his upset victory at the 2002 PGA Championship. Beem was born in Phoenix, Arizona, grew up in El Paso, Texas, and played college golf at New Mexico State University in Las Cruces. Beem turned professional in 1994. His early career was broken up by a spell in Seattle selling car stereos and cell phones. He later regained interest after J. P. Hayes won the 1998 Buick Classic [1]. This changed in 1999 when Beem won the Kemper Open as a rookie. His career took a further leap forward in 2002 with a victory at The International in Castle Rock, Colorado. Two weeks later, Beem won the 2002 PGA Championship at Hazeltine National, one of golf's four major tournaments. He shot a par 72 in the first round, but followed that with a six-under 66 in the second round to pull into a five-way tie for first place. In the third round, he again shot 72 and was the second place player, three strokes behind leader Justin Leonard. In the fourth round, Beem fended off Tiger Woods, who birdied his last four holes but finished one shot behind Beem, who shot a final round 68 to Woods' 67. This victory helped establish Beem in the top 20 of the Official World Golf Ranking. Until this win, Beem was best known for the book Bud, Sweat and Tees: A Walk on the Wild Side of the PGA Tour by Alan Shipnuck, which profiled his rookie year on the PGA Tour and the often wild lifestyle of him and his caddie, Steve Duplantis. At the 2007 Nissan Open at Riviera, Beem made a hole-in-one at the 14th hole on live television on Saturday to win a new red Altima coupe, which he immediately ascended, embraced, and sat atop of in triumph. The sequence was later made into a Nissan commercial. (video) Beem credited Peter Jacobsen for inspiring his reaction; Jacobsen aced the same hole in 1994 and hopped into the nearby 300ZX convertible and pretended to drive it. Beem was sidelined in 2010 after undergoing back surgery to repair damage to his C6 and C7 vertebrae. While Beem was expected to only miss six weeks, rehabilitation issues caused the layoff to encompass the remainder of the 2010 season. Beem played the 2011 season on a medical exemption that required him to make $658,100 in 17 events. He missed the first six cuts of the 2011 season before making the cut at the Valero Texas Open. He finished tied for 15th. Beem made just five cuts in 21 events. As a result, he lost his tour card and played the remainder of the season out of the "past champions" category in 2012. He played on the European Tour in 2012, the last year of his ten-year exemption on that tour for winning the 2002 PGA Championship. In 2015, Beem joined Sky Sports as a television commentator and golf analyst. He also planned to play at the UBS Hong Kong Open, but gave up his sponsor exemption to allow Ian Poulter to keep his European Tour card. In 2020, Beem was a color commentator for the video game PGA Tour 2K21. Beem resides in Austin, Texas. (en)

- Rich Beem, född 24 augusti 1970 i Phoenix, Arizona är en amerikansk golfspelare. Beem blev professionell 1994 men hans tidiga karriär var inte framgångsrik och han fick ta jobb som försäljare av bilstereo och mobiltelefoner för att få ekonomin att gå ihop. Hans karriär vände 2002 då han vann majortävlingen PGA Championship på Hazeltine National. Han vann med ett slag före Tiger Woods. Fram till sin majorseger var Beem mest känd för boken Bud, Sweat and Tees : A Walk on the Wild Side of the PGA Tour som Alan Shipnuck skrev. Boken beskrev Beems första år på PGA-touren och det vilda liv han och hans caddie Steve Duplantis levde. Efter segern i PGA Championship har han inte haft några större framgångar på PGA-touren. (sv)
