About Pete Weber (bowler)

Peter David Weber (born August 21, 1962) is an American bowler in the Professional Bowlers Association (PBA), currently competing on the exclusive to their age-group PBA50+ tours (PBA50 and PBA60), and a member of the PBA and USBC Halls of Fame. Weber was one of the sport's most active players and became known for his maverick, chirpy and rebellious personality. He is also known for being versatile, with his high backswing and the side rotation he puts on the bowling ball helping him control numerous oil conditions. Weber is featured in the ten-pin bowling sports documentary A League of Ordinary Gentlemen. He has won 37 titles on the PBA Tour (fourth all-time), including ten major championships (tied for second all-time), and another 14 titles (six majors) on the PBA50 Tour, and another title on the PBA60 Tour. He is one of only three bowlers in history (with Walter Ray Williams Jr. and Earl Anthony) to have amassed at least 50 combined titles between the PBA Tour and PBA50+ Tours. Weber and Williams Jr. are the only two bowlers to have amassed at least 100 total PBA titles, with PBA Regional events added. (Weber currently has 110 total titles with his 48 PBA Regional Tour and nine PBA50 Regional Tour wins included.) He is tied with Chris Warren for the most wins on the regular PBA Regional Tour. Weber has won bowling's U.S. Open a record five times, breaking the previous record of his dad, Dick Weber, who won the event four times in his career. Among the nine players in history to win the PBA's triple crown (U.S. Open, PBA World Championship and PBA Tournament of Champions), Weber is the only bowler to win each of these events at least twice in a career. He has also won the PBA Senior U.S. Open twice, and is a two-time PBA50 Player of the Year, in addition to winning PBA60 Player of the Year in his first full season.
