Early life and amateur career
[edit]In 1971, Gove was born in Seattle, Washington.[1] He played college golf at Pepperdine University.[2]
Professional career
[edit]In 1994, Gove turned professional.[1] He started his career on the Nike Tour. In 1995, Gove won the Nike Tri-Cities Open. He also won a non-tour event that year, his home state's open, the Washington Open. In 1999, he won on the Nike Tour again, at the Nike Knoxville Open. He finished #12 on the money list. He was one of the 1999 Nike Tour graduates to earn PGA Tour membership. In 2000, Gove did not have much success on the PGA Tour, however, and returned to the developmental tour. In 2001, Gove had success and finished in the top ten on the money list. He was on the 2001 Buy.com Tour graduates list. In 2002, on the PGA Tour, Gove again did not have much success and returned to the developmental tour. In 2004, he played on the Gateway Tour, a minitour. He won two events. In 2005, Gove won the Nationwide Tour's Oregon Classic. He finished in the top 21 on the money list and was one of the 2005 Nationwide Tour graduates.
Gove played on the PGA Tour for the next three seasons, from 2006-2008. His best finishes on the PGA Tour were during this timespan; they were joint sixth places finishes at the 2006 Booz Allen Classic and the 2007 John Deere Classic.[1] In 2007, Gove earned the final spot in the FedEx Cup playoffs by finishing 144th in the points standings. In 2008, however, he played poorly; he returned to the developmental tour. In 2009, he once again played well on the Nationwide Tour, finishing #17 on the money list, and regained PGA Tour membership. However, he returned to the developmental tour in 2010. In 2012, Gove had success at PGA Tour Qualifying School to regain PGA Tour membership. That year he also won his home state's open, the Washington Open, once again that year. In 2013, Gove had his last season on the PGA Tour. He returned to the developmental tour in 2014.
Since then he has played on local events and on the minitours. In 2015, he won the TaylorMade Pebble Beach Invitational. In 2016, he won the Quarles & Brady LLP Classic on the Gateway Tour. In 2022, he won the Oregon Open.
