Luke Campbell Donald MBE is an English professional golfer who has been the World Number One. He plays mainly on the U.S. based PGA Tour but is also a member of the European Tour.

Donald had an outstanding year in 2011, winning several tournaments and awards.

He was named the PGA Player of the Year and the European Tour Golfer of the Year.
