Duval attended Georgia Tech, where he was a two-time ACC Player of the Year and the 1993 National Player of the Year. After playing two years on the Nike Tour, where he won twice, he received his PGA Tour card in 1995. Between 1997 and 2000, Duval finished all four seasons top-5 on the PGA Tour's money list, including being the leading money winner and scoring leader in 1998. In addition to his major title, he also won the 1997 Tour Championship and the 1999 Players Championship.
Following Duval's victory at the 2001 Open Championship, he never won again on the PGA Tour and his performance declined dramatically due to injuries and various medical conditions. As a result, he lost his tour card in 2011. After his professional golf career slowed, he became a golf analyst. He began competing on the Champions Tour in 2022.
