Dana C. Quigley (born April 14, 1947) is an American professional golfer.
Early life and amateur career In 1947, Quigley was born in Lynnfield, Massachusetts. In 1969, he graduated from the University of Rhode Island.
Professional career In 1971, Quigley turned professional. Quigley's career in regular tournament golf was unremarkable. He worked as a club professional for many years and had 18 tournament victories in local tournaments in New England. His best finish on the PGA Tour was sixth at the 1980 Greater Milwaukee Open.
In 1997, Quigley became eligible to play in senior golf tournaments, and he soon became a leading player at this level. His first win on the Senior PGA Tour came at that year's Northville Long Island Classic. In 2005, at age 58, he led the Champions Tour money list and became the oldest player to win the Arnold Palmer Award for the leading money-winner on the circuit. He won 11 tournaments on the tour and last played in 2019.
Personal life His nephew Brett Quigley played on the PGA Tour, and now plays on the PGA Tour Champions, where he has won.
Awards and honors Quigley was elected to the New England section of the PGA Hall of Fame in 2000.
