Below is an interview with Blair O’Neal, the professional golfer, and model who was the winner of BIG BREAK: Dominican Republic. The following are a few traditional and non-traditional golf centric questions that I love to ask influential people in the golf industry.

Interview conducted by Brian Weis, Publisher of GolfTrips.com & GolfPackages.com as well as a golf-themed website in all 50 states.

Can you provide our readers a brief biography?

When not crushing drives, the 5’9″ blonde bombshell has made the most of her modeling career. Among countless other accolades, Blair has been named “One of the Hottest 50 Athletes of All-Time” by Sports Illustrated, one of the “Top 10: Fit Golfers” by Golf Channel, one of the “Hottest Golfers” by Golf Digest, and one of “The 18 Most Beautiful Women in Golf” by Golf Magazine. She appeared in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition magazine with Cobra-Puma three consecutive years from 2011-2013. Blair has translated her experiences into the on-camera platform through her work on Golf Channel’s Morning Drive and School of Golf. She has also hosted The Golf Buzz presented by Myrtle Beach Golf Holiday, What’s in the Bag with Cobra-Puma presented by the Golf Channel, Hot Tips from a Hot Golfer presented by Golf.com, and co-host of Golf’s Sexiest Shots presented by Golf Digest.
