Jerry pate's education as an entrepreneur began with an introduction to legendary football coach Paul "Bear" Bryant in the early'70s and continued when he won the U.S. Open at age 22 and the Tournament Players Championship six years later. Pate, now 52, parlayed these seminal events in his life into the Jerry Pate Cos,, a business empire that includes Jerry Pate Turf & Irrigation (one of the largest distributors of Toro products in the Southeast), Jerry Pate Golf Design (course architecture), and Wausau Farms (a turf grass company).
