Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:BLP sources Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox golfer Daniel Samir Chopra (born 23 December 1973) is a Swedish professional golfer.

Early life

Chopra was born in Stockholm, Sweden. He represents Sweden and his mother was Swedish, but his father was Indian and Daniel moved to India at age seven where he was raised by his grandparents. He won the All-India Junior Golf Championship at age 14.

Professional career

In 1992, Chopra turned professional. From 1996 to 2002 he played intermittently on the European Tour, sometimes failing to retain his tour card, and in 2004 he joined the U.S.-based PGA Tour.

In 2007, Chopra won his first PGA Tour event at the Ginn sur Mer Classic at Tesoro. Two PGA Tour events later he picked up another win at the season opening Mercedes-Benz Championship. After his second PGA Tour win, Chopra's career started to fluctuate between the PGA Tour and second-tier (what was then) Nationwide Tour.

A difficult 2010 season, where he made only eight PGA Tour cuts in 28 events, cost him his Tour Card. He won the Nationwide Tour's Fresh Express Classic at TPC Stonebrae in 2011. Chopra regained his PGA Tour card for 2012 after finishing 19th on the money list. He finished 188th on the Tour's money list and went back to the newly renamed Web.com Tour for 2013. He finished 21st on the 2013 Web.com Tour regular season money list to earn his 2014 PGA Tour card. In 2013–14, he made only 2 cuts in 16 events and finished 249th on the FedEx Cup points list and lost his PGA Tour card.

In 2015, with limited status on either the PGA or Web.com Tour, Chopra won the Asian Tour's qualifying school.

Chopra is now a regular part of Fox Sports' golf coverage.
