Sluman, Jeff was born on September 11, 1957 in Rochester, New York, United States.
After graduating from Greece Arcadia High School in 1975 and Monroe Community College in 1977, he attended Florida State University in Tallahassee, Florida. Sluman"s best season was in 2002 when he finished the year ranked 15th on the Professional Golf Association Tour with $1,250,187 in earnings.
He earned a bachelor"s degree with a major in finance from FSU in 1980, and turned pro later that year. Sluman has had an unusual career in terms of winning golf tournaments. Then, shortly before his 40th birthday, he started winning consistently on the Tour and in non-Tour events.
Despite his rather unusual sequence in respect to tournament wins, Sluman has been one of the Tour"s most consistent top 10 finishers throughout his career.
His regular career earnings exceeded 18 million dollars. The 1988 Professional Golf Association Championship was played at the Oak Tree Golf Club in Edmond, Oklahoma.
On the final day, Sluman took command of the tournament with a round of 65 that tied David Graham"s 1979 mark as the lowest winning round in Professional Golf Association history. Upon turning 50 in September 2007, Sluman joined the Champions Tour.
In his spare time, Sluman can be described as a rabid sports fan.
He closely follows the Florida State University Seminoles, the Chicago Bears, the Chicago Bulls, and the Chicago Cubs. He has held Bulls season tickets for over 10 years. He is also a collector of rare, fine wines with about 2,000 bottles in his collection.
