Huston turned professional in 1983.[2] He won seven PGA Tour events and has had more than 80 top-10 finishes in his career. He has a history of being a "streaky" player, who either plays extremely well or mediocre. At the 1998 United Airlines Hawaiian Open, he broke a 53-year-old record for 72-hole scoring by shooting 260, a 28-under-par performance. Huston attributed his record-breaking score to magnets that he placed in his shoes and in the cover of his mattress.[3] He also had a course-record 61 at the 1996 Memorial Tournament. He finished in the top-100 on the money list every year but one during the first 17 years of his career.
Huston was a member of the winning inaugural Presidents Cup team in 1994 and the losing 1998 team. He is the first American golfer selected to two President Cups without a Ryder Cup.
Huston's first Champions Tour win was at the 2011 Dick's Sporting Goods Open, which was his third start and came just 25 days after he turned 50.[5]
Huston has a reputation for playing very quickly. Commentator Gary McCord has described Huston as the Tour's fastest golfer, with no one a close second. He lives in Palm Harbor, Florida.
