'William Ruggles MacKenzie' (born September 28, 1974) is an American professional golfer who has played on the PGA Tour and the Nationwide Tour.
MacKenzie was born and raised in Greenville, North Carolina. He was a golfing prodigy growing up but burned out on golf at age 14 and completely quit the game after high school. After attending East Carolina University for a period, Will then spent five years snowboarding, kayaking and climbing rocks while living out of a van in Montana.[1][2] At one point, he spent 30 days in Alaska without showering living in a cave and ending up with frostbite.2 He returned to North Carolina in 1999 and tried to make a living selling hammocks, but ended up in huge debt. A glimpse on television of his boyhood idol, Payne Stewart, winning the 1999 U.S. Open rekindled his love affair with the game, and he decided to play professionally.1 He turned pro in 2000.
MacKenzie played on several mini-tours shortly after turning pro. He played on the Golden Bear Tour in 2003 and finished ninth on the money list. The next year (2004), he played the Hooters Tour and finished third on the money list with three wins. He also played on the Nationwide and Canadian Tours. 2005 was his rookie season on the PGA Tour. His first win came in 2006 at the Reno-Tahoe Open in his 47th career start on the PGA Tour. He has started out the 2007 golf season strongly. MacKenzie currently resides in West Palm Beach Florida.
