Frank Nobilo is a PGA championship golfer with 15 tournament wins. Since retiring from golf in 2003, he has worked as an analyst for the Golf Channel's Champions Tour and PGA Tour coverage.
Born in Auckland, New Zealand, Nobilo won the New Zealand Amateur Championship at age 18.

He subsequently won four other European Tour events and finished inside the top 50 on the Order of Merit every season from 1988 to 1996, with a best of 14th place in 1993.
After strong performances in all the majors, including a 4th place finish in the Masters Tournament and a tie for 8th in the PGA Championship, Nobilo left Europe at the end of 1996 and joined the US PGA Tour for the following season. He won the Greater Greensboro Chrysler Classic during his rookie season and was featured in the top 50 of the Official World Golf Rankings.
