Career summary

Appleby is from Cohuna in rural northern Victoria. Appleby practiced by hitting balls from paddock to paddock. He turned professional in 1992 and began his career on the PGA Tour of Australasia. In 1995 he won twice on the Nike Tour (now known as the Nationwide Tour), the second tier men's tour on in the U.S., and qualified to compete on the PGA Tour the following year by finishing the season fifth on the money list. He has won eight times on the PGA Tour. He was a member of the International Team in the Presidents Cup four times, and has featured in the top ten of the Official World Golf Rankings. His best performance in a major championship came in 2002, where he lost in a fourway play-off to Ernie Els at The Open Championship.
Appleby's first wife, Renay, was killed in a freak accident outside a train station in London shortly after he had missed the cut at The Open Championship in 1998. He married Ohio native Ashley Saleet in 2003; they had their first daughter, Ella, in January 2005 and their second, Mia, a year later.
