NuGo Athlete of the Month: Blair O'Neal

Blair O’Neal is a professional golfer, accomplished model, and Golf Channel host. At age 11, she started playing golf after her Dad signed her up for an after school junior clinic. She went on to play golf at Arizona State University before turning pro in 2004 at the age of 23. Blair played on various professional tours including the LPGA, Ladies European Tour, LPGA Symetra Tour, and all over Asia. Her greatest achievement as a professional golfer was winning the Golf Channel’s Big Break: Dominican Republic.

Over the past several years, Blair has transitioned out of playing full-time competitive golf and into media. “I currently use the two to create a hybrid schedule that allows me to pursue my passion for media, but fulfill my never-ending desire to compete on the golf course,” she said. Her most recent accomplishment was beginning the next phase of her career in the media world as part of the Golf Channel team. Blair’s current goal primarily consists of growing her media portfolio while still competing in a select number of golf events.

Blair’s favorite NuGo line is NuGo Dark, and she especially loves NuGo Dark Mint Chocolate Chip. She uses NuGo bars as a supplement when she doesn’t have time for a full meal. “Between cross country flights and long days on the set at Golf Channel, NuGo bars are a great way to satisfy my hunger without compromising nutritional content,” she said.

Outside of golf, Blair loves fitness and family time. She has been named “One of the Hottest 50 Athletes of All-Time” by Sports Illustrated, one of the “Top 10: Fit Golfers” by Golf Channel, one of the “Hottest Golfers” by Golf Digest, and one of “The 18 Most Beautiful Women in Golf” by Golf Magazine.
