Pete Weber(I)
- Actor
Pete Weber's father introduced him to the sport when he was two years old. Weber joined the PBA in 1979 at the age of 17 and competed in 21 events in his first season. His brazen, in-your-face demeanor helped him become one of the most entertaining and controversial bowlers on the PBA Tour. He was selected Rookie of the Year in 1980, but didn't win his first championship until 1982. At the age of 24, he won his 10th title, becoming him the youngest bowler to do so. Two years later, he completed the triple crown by winning the 1989 PBA National Championship, after winning the Tournament of Champions in 1987 and the U.S. Open in 1988.
In 2013, Weber won his second triple crown and became the oldest player to win the Tournament of Champions title. With the triumph, he is now tied with Earl Anthony for the most career major PBA titles. By that time, he was tied with Norm Duke for third all-time on the PBA Tour championship chart, with 37, and he had the most U.S. Open titles of any bowler. Weber joined the PBA50 Tour in 2013, and his first title was at a major, the USBC Senior Masters. He won two more major events on the PBA50 Tour before retiring in 2021.
