Early years and education
Cink was born in Huntsville, Alabama, and grew up in nearby Florence, where he attended Bradshaw High School. After completing high school in 1991, he graduated from Georgia Tech in Atlanta in 1995 with a degree in Management, where he played golf for the Yellow Jackets; he turned professional in 1995.
Professional career
After winning the Mexican Open and three events on the Nike Tour (now the Korn Ferry Tour) in 1996, Cink joined the PGA Tour in 1997 and won the Canon Greater Hartford Open in his rookie season. Cink performed consistently on the Tour over the next few years, picking up another win at the 2000 MCI Classic.{{cite news |agency=Associated Press |title=MCI Heritage; Cink's 65 Wins It; Els and Love Falter |newspaper=The New York Times |date=2000-04-17 |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2000/04/17/sports/plus-golf-mci-heritage-cink-s-65-wins-it-els-and-love-falter.html |access-date=2025-05-29 |page=D9}} Cink contended in the 2001 U.S. Open, missing the playoff by a single stroke after making a double-bogey on the 72nd hole. In 2004, Cink finished in fifth-place on the money list and had wins at the MCI Heritage and at the WGC-NEC Invitational, which is one of the World Golf Championships events.
On February 24, 2008, Cink was the runner-up in the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship played in Marana, Arizona, falling 8 & 7 in the 36-hole final to top-ranked Tiger Woods. In June 2008, he reached his highest ever ranking, sixth, in the Official World Golf Rankings with his victory at the Travelers Championship in suburban Hartford.{{cite web |url=http://www.owgr.com/news/fullstory.sps?iNewsid=6612298&itype=&iCategoryID=0 |title=Week 25 – Stewart Cink Wins the Travelers Championship and Climbs to Career High World Number Six |publisher=Official World Golf Ranking |date=June 23, 2008 |access-date=October 29, 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090501205107/http://www.owgr.com/news/fullstory.sps?iNewsid=6612298&itype=&iCategoryID=0 |archive-date=May 1, 2009}}
On July 19, 2009, Cink won his first major title at the 138th Open Championship at Turnberry, Scotland, defeating 59-year-old, five-time champion Tom Watson by six strokes in a four-hole playoff. Cink had birdied the 72nd hole while Watson bogeyed, which forced the playoff.{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/golf/8158269.stm |title=Cink dashes Watson's Open dreams |date=July 19, 2009 |work=BBC Sport |first=Mark |last=Orlovac |access-date=July 19, 2009}}
