Haas has had a solid career on the PGA Tour, winning nine times between 1978 and 1993. He had a resurgence in 2003, when he finished in the top 30 on the money list for the first time since 1995 and made the United States Presidents Cup team. The following year he was one of Hal Sutton's two captain's picks for the Ryder Cup, and made his third appearance in that event. He was eligible to play in Champions Tour events from the start of the 2004 season and he lost to Hale Irwin by one stroke at the Senior PGA Championship in his first appearance at that level. He has still featured in the top 20 of the Official World Golf Rankings after his 50th birthday. In 2005 he won twice on the Champions Tour, while also continuing to play regularly on the PGA Tour. In April 2006 he won back to back events on the Champions Tour and the following month he won a playoff at the Oak Tree Golf Club with Brad Bryant at the Senior PGA Championship to claim his first senior major.
Haas is a nephew of 1968 Masters winner Bob Goalby, and has several other relations in golf including his second son Bill who is a PGA Tour rookie in 2006.
He was voted the 2006 Bob Jones Award, the highest honor given by the United States Golf Association in recognition of distinguished sportsmanship in golf.
Haas currently resides in Greenville, South Carolina.
